Comments on: The Voudon Gnostic Workbook new edition available for pre-order from… WalMart http://technoccult.net/archives/2006/12/20/the-voudon-gnostic-workbook-new-edition-available-for-pre-order-from-walmart/ A General Interest Blog for Weirdos Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:21:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Phil http://technoccult.net/archives/2006/12/20/the-voudon-gnostic-workbook-new-edition-available-for-pre-order-from-walmart/comment-page-1/#comment-234123 Phil Sun, 23 Nov 2008 05:45:54 +0000 http://www.technoccult.com/archives/2006/12/20/the-voudon-gnostic-workbook-new-edition-available-for-pre-order-from-walmart/#comment-234123 Screw Walmart indeed. Still, there's something delightfully perverse about such an off-the-wall book (one that sends even many occultists for a loop) available through America's ubiquitous retail leviathan. If your going to buy this or any book, independent booksellers should be your first choice, and Walmart your last. Still, can you imagine if the VGW were to be read by a wide swath of the population? Good gawd! Screw Walmart indeed.

They put some of my friends out of business. Order it through your local independent bookseller instead! Screw Wal-mart! They put some of my friends out of business.

It doesn't deserve the hype. Its like a really long zine made by Kenneth Grant while the writing less sensible, the metaphysics more insane and more musings depraved, in a bad way. An amusing browse if you can read it for free. I would not recommended paying for it. I read the VGW years ago through Interlibrary loan based on the hype around it.

I could never bring myself to pay the price to pick it up again, but at $26, sure. The contents run the gamut from cutting edge to over the top, but certainly worth the new edition price. It's probably worth it just for the instructions on television divination. A lot of the material on tantric kalas is, um, sort of funky, but I can't say I have enough expertise to really claim that it's not correct.
