There's a lot more though (looks like this will be quite the sharing endeavour) ~ But do reply if any listed there hold particular interest as can never decide a release order.
@MinUmbra Wow! nice collection!
Well, bring on the #Enochian next please. Anything on #Geomancy (the medieval "western" type)?
How about #telekinesis, #remoteviewing, and related near-contemporary disciplines/paradigms?
@bonhomme Enochian it is =) We've got a handful of books on geomancy, and then just one organized so far on remote viewing (though there is a lot still to categorize once the thousand or so texts thus far are up). Nothing telekinesis wise, though have a kinda nifty 1840s-1920s stuff on classic psychical/mental power research- its obviously a bit out there but its an interesting look at past views of that kind of thing.
@MinUmbra Looking forward to that.
Can I share these links on Diaspora, btw?
@MinUmbra Thank you for this Great Work, I wasn't aware of it.
I'll share it verbatim. As long as Diaspora and Mastodon don't federate yet, it will have to be cut-and-paste.
@bonhomme we've not really turned it into a sharing projecty thing with everything collected until this point/medium- basically been hoarding digitized occult content and working with others trying to fight the death/loss of information over time, and doing it for that long for own devouring and knowing it would be important nothing go away. The contributors to scanning process are many and largely lost over time *nod*
Sharing here provoked finally giving our collection a title =)
@bonhomme
Cut and paste is fine- been ensuring to place a readme file in the folders shared mentioning fair usage for academic purposes, contact email and here if any questions/concerns/halp/feedback, etc as well so that people can look use that if need be. It's being released to the wired, now- fly, pretty magicks =)
@MinUmbra Here we go with the first few:

@bonhomme this helps lots ^_^
@bonhomme feedbacks and ye shall receive *giggle* After we complete dinner and feel enough digestion time between posts so as to not overwhelm has occurred (gotta show love for those west coast witches not yet off work to get exposure - and as they get off work in an hour or two, australia begins to wake up =3)
@MinUmbra All right, Topics 12-14 copied to my Diaspora presence.
Thanks again for sharing this incredible resource!
@MinUmbra One suggestion: maybe use a hashtag like #UmbraOccultLibraryCollection for easy reference and retrieval?
@bonhomme That would be viable! We'll likely collect the completed initial sharing phase and feedback results and take the posts made, improve if necessary- and then take to an account for it to be kept and maintained there *nod*
@bonhomme You may =) Sharing is lovely and important and the whole point of curating a library collection. Just refer to it with same title ideally as we're hoping to develop/add/improve it gradually and give it somewhere home-like over time. The only credit we can take of course, is the decade process of accumulation, scanning with other groups, and preserving/organizing it into appropriate subjects, which is something still in the process of doing cus sooo much stuff =3
