This morning I was musing about the small genre of Books That May Also Be Majgickqghxal Initiations. I can think of two offhand: Wolfe's Books of the New Sun, and Swanwick's Stations of the Tide. "Are there more?" I wondered to myself.

This evening I was reminded that Piers Anthony's Tarot trilogy exists and I think it is maybe his attempt at writing a book that is also a Thelemic initiation and there are just so many layers of COME NOT IN THAT FORM going on with that.

@anthracite Oh crap, I just remembered that stupid book series again. That's just... waaaugh. Graaagh. Arrrrrgh dammit.
