The Mutational Alchemy Tarot by m1thr0s 729 and Izi Ningishzidda
A collaborative masterpiece by Izi Ningishzidda and the Magister Ouroboros 729. As intuitive as it is technically robust, the Mutational Alchemy Tarot Deck fulfills the needs of beginners and experienced readers alike slicing through stale old stereotypes to get straight to the heart of any question at hand. This is the type of Tarot deck that comes along once in a century or two. It has no equal either in the quality of art or the depth of its ability to probe the most complex of situations.

The I Ching: a Biography by Richard J. Smith
In this concise history, Smith traces the evolution of the I Ching in China and throughout the world, explaining its complex structure, its manifold uses in different cultures, and its enduring appeal. He shows how the indigenous beliefs and customs of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Tibet "domesticated" the text, and he reflects on whether this Chinese classic can be compared to religious books such as the Bible or the Qur'an. Smith also looks at how the I Ching came to be published in dozens of languages, providing insight and inspiration to millions worldwide--including ardent admirers in the West such as Leibniz, Carl Jung, Philip K. Dick, Allen Ginsberg, Hermann Hesse, Bob Dylan, Jorge Luis Borges, and I. M. Pei. Smith offers an unparalleled biography of the most revered book in China's entire cultural tradition, and he shows us how this enigmatic ancient classic has become a truly global phenomenon.

The T'ai Hsuan Ching by Derek Walters
Note: This is a used book, as it is out of print everywhere else. The only other edition available new is useless for our purposes, as it only constitutes a literary analysis, and where it does enter into an occult or metaphysical analysis, it is completely wrong (the Nylan translation) We carefully purchases gently used copies of the THC, ensuring that they are in at least fair condition. They may be ex-library copies but all pages will be intact, the cover will not be intact and firmly attached, and there will be few to no highlighting marks. Each copy has a banishing performed on it and it is consecrated to Abrahadabra and the Tetractys of the Decad.
