It's also heartening to see a lucid description and an intelligent discussion of Satanism.

I'm no Satanist. Personally disagree with it, don't care to adhere to a religion in which the most sacred act I can perform is the gratification of my own desires. Does not work for me.

Totally OK if it works for you, though. Snaps for having the unmitigated cojones (perhaps the unmitigated Aspie-on-a-Soapbox) to come right out and talk about it.

One doesn't see that a lot. It's a breath of fresh air.

I'm enjoying this thread. It is most educational and informative. Had it existed in the early 2000's, I could have saved myself many fruitless hours of Internet searches, about $300 in used books, and several dozen (possibly hundred) hours of stupid questions and existential agonizing (but the existential agonizing was good conversation and the coffee was hot, so I'm not sure I'd want to give it up anyway).

Heh, even on the other side of the esoteric isle I find myself amassing quite a library - Rosicrucian, Martinist, Golden Dawn, and general hermetic work as well as more traditional tarot and oracle decks than I may ever know what to do with. Diving off into the mystic can be on the cheap these days what with so many classics free on pdf or on sacredtexts.org just that I can help admitting that I'm still just as interested as ever in seeing what modern GD reformers have to say, what the latest distillations, clarifications, and modifications of the tarot are, etc. etc.
