Details
This will be the first meetup for this "club", so we'll start with something light, sardonic, and humorous - in the spirit of not taking ourselves too seriously... Book is "The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford : a dilettante's guide to what you do and do not need to know to become a qabalist" Please contact me @ 8anaperture8@gmail for a copy of the PDF.
Exo-Esoteric Book Club
For people who read spiritually anomalous, uncanny, and occult-theoretical texts on purpose.
Description:
This is a casual meet-up for people who enjoy reading material that falls somewhere between philosophy, occult theory, symbolic systems, and the politely indescribable. If your bookshelf looks like a collaboration between a paraphilosopher, a depth psychologist, and that one friend who always “finds” rare PDFs, you’ll fit in just fine.
We’re not a coven.
We’re not starting a religion.
We’re not recreating the Lesser Key in a food court.
We’re just reading things most people pretend they “heard about once on a podcast.”
Who this is for:
People who enjoy spiritually anomalous texts without treating them as instruction manuals
Readers who like the uncanny, but aren’t here to cosplay as Victorian mediums
Folks interested in occult-theoretical writing, ritual studies, or symbolic systems
Paraphilosophical explorers who wonder what the footnotes really meant
Anyone who ever read a book that made them mutter, “Okay… but also yes.”
How it works:
One book or text per month (occult, symbolic, mythic, theoretical, psychological — whatever hits the nerve).
PDFs will be made available because accessibility > purity. Contact me for a PDF of current book.
You can participate whether you finished the reading, skimmed it, or just showed up for the vibes.
Discussions are open, grounded, and occasionally amused by our own existential confusion.
No dogma. No gurus. No claims of “secret knowledge passed down through my great-uncle’s barber.”
Basically:
We read spiritually anomalous and occult-theoretical texts.
We talk about them without losing our grip on reality.
We maintain an appropriate amount of dark humor as a safety mechanism.
If you’re into ideas that sit just left of ordinary — uncanny, symbolic, esoteric-adjacent, mythically resonant, or paraphilosophically slippery — you’ll feel right at home.
