The occult is a pathway to many abilities some might consider unnatural... Tell me about the fortrean and forbidden books you've read, /lit/.

Like >>11627451 points out, there's really nothing considered "forbidden" in our secular world, but with that being said reading something like the Gnostic Gospels would probably be the closest, since they were quite literally suppressed information and there are even Christians today who would find you suspicious / evil for having read them.

Hegel is a dialectical sorcerer along with his apprentice Marx who has influenced the present more than anyone else.

If you think that there's something novel in reading old books then you're fucking retarded.

The closest thing to 'forbidden', in the spooky melodramatic sense, you will find regarding occult or esoteric books is the many works of biblical apocrypha in the hands of the Vatican that have not been made public. Similarly, although probably less interesting to some, is that only a fragment of the found writings from Sumeria and Babylon have even been translated. Only a handful of people in the world are capable of doing the translations and for every work that has been translated there are about 100 that have not. Again, in a similar fashion, there are tens of thousands of works on the subject of Alchemy and much of it has not been made available in English, although many are not too difficult to get your hands on. Simply by virtue of being mostly written in Latin they have been mostly untapped. These works are particularly interesting because if you sift through enough of them you will begin to notice that there is a thread connecting some of the works, many from different times and geographical locations, yet bearing similarities. A lot of Alchemical works appear to be sui generis, but if you see enough of them you will notice that some do have similarities to others and thus the intimation of a long standing tradition is given.

that's just modern active nihilism, nothing surprising or scary about it, just the natural counterpart to the reigning passive nihilism

Maybe the best answer in this thread and best answer you’ll get, OP. If you can conceivably easily get something in your language of choice in a public library, it’s not likely to be so “forbidden” and strange as you think.
