@sonsofthethreshold: the man who broke the japanese diplomatic code at bletchley park spent thirty years trying to read one book. failed. it sits on yale’s website right now. anyone can see it. nobody can read it. it’s the voynich manuscript. 600 years undeciphered. vol III of the working magicians. seven books that preserved the lineage. six in print. one unread. ari aster found his demon in one of them. cosimo de’ medici stopped translating plato to read another. newton hand-copied a third in cambridge. crowley bought a house on loch ness for the fourth. these are not metaphors. they are real books. they are still on the shelf. and they’re not Harry Potter. save this. you’ll need it next time someone says the magic stopped at the witch trials. #occult #esoteric #hiddenhistory #darkacademia #bookshelf
