on why purchasing out of print physical books is critical investment:

and act of preserving the books from disappearance, but studying old narratives is how you learn why information becomes canon; it's how the narrative MISTAKES are found. remember: a lot of old occult writing is full of just as much guesswork and bullshit and cheating and copycat competition as current masonic ghost/crypto text. part of finding the origin for incorrect narratives is researching the sources of how they began. if you only read books with which you agree, you never learn anything new and are trapped in the loop of self-fulfilling prophesy.
