Special thanks to Gallowglass Books (gallowglassbooks.shop/) for sending me these two weighty tomes. They were much bigger than I expected. They've got stunning colorful designs and layouts along with beautiful binding under the dust jackets that really give new life to these old classics. It's especially nice to read Thomas Taylor off a page rather than off a screen for a change. Highly recommended summer reading.

Hey folks, just a quick note that I've created a new, second channel for all my Latin content over at@SolSupraSolem. If you'd like to help me out, please go subscribe to that channel and watch some videos. I will be double posting Latin content on both channels for now, but will eventually migrate all of it to that channel (since it does not have universal appeal, and so harms the reach of my other videos in the algorithm). If you're interested in some Latin comprehensible input material on various topics in Western Esotericism, please give my new channel a follow.
On another note, I've got a big project in the pipeline (hint: from our friend Solomon the Wise), but it's taking me a bit more time than usual to put together on account of its length, so stay tuned for that.
