New edition of Richard Kaczynski’s Perdurabo, reviews and site design

[1]First up: a revised and expanded version of Richard Kaczynski [2]‘s Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley [1]
has been released by North Atlantic Books [3] with more than a hundred pages of new material.
This new release is good news, especially as the previous edition [4] published by New Falcon currently fetches upwards of 100$US.
Yes, Perdurabo [1] came out in August. This post has actually been in draft mode for ten months, but somehow I managed to miss the actual release date. On the plus side, this means I have additional content to share, such as two podcasts and a lecture!
In episode 8 [5] of the Thelemic podcast Speech in the Silence [6] Richard Kaczynski gives two readings from the new material in Perdurabo [1].
In the most recent episode of Thelema Now [7] from the OTO’s US Grand Lodge [8], Frater Puck interviews Kaczynski. They discuss the history of the book and its research, and talk about who Crowley was, offering new stories.
Additionally, Kaczynski will be presenting a lecture and book signing at the Sekhet-Maat Lodge [9] in Portland on September 16th, 2010. Check out John Griogair Bell’s blog [10] for more information about the event.
I missed this book when it first came out, and I’m looking forward to reading it now.
Reviews on our sister site
I’ve already mentioned [11] the interview with John Crow [12] published on SpiralNature.com [13], but recently a few new reviews have been published as well which I thought I’d highlight:
- Compassion and Meditation [14], by Jean-Yves Leloup – reviewed by Gesigewigu’s
- Vodou Money Magic [15], by Kenaz Filan – reviewed by Gesigewigu’s
- The Angel Almanac [16], by Angela McGerr – reviewed by Mike Gleason
- The Language of Birds [17], by Dale Pendell – reviewed by me
SpiralNature.com [13] turns 10 years old this October. It seems incredible, it’s evolved so much from its origins and now contains more than 550 pages of essays, reviews, interviews and rituals – and it’s still going! Larger plans for the site in the coming year will be announced next month.
ahrfoundation.org’s site design
Meanwhile, on October 31st ahrfoundation.org [18] turns 3!1 [19]
As hinted at on Facebook [20],2 [21] this site will be receiving a makeover (it’s been just over a year since our last one [22]), and the plan is to simplify the design – it seems a bit busy. Web design is like fashion, what’s hot changes so quickly, and ahrfoundation.org needs a new suit.
Are there things you like about this design that you’d like to see remain, things which should be added or removed? I’ve only just begun tinkering with it in the back end, but I’d love your thoughts on it.
