Translations

[k_a_nitz]

Once I have finished with posting for subscribers chapters of the Textbook of Magical Thinking, I intend following up with another work in the same way. I have a few options I am considering. Feel free to vote for one if you want to influence my choice (I haven't read most of them yet, so can't give a description, only a translated title):

1. Johann Baptist Krebs (aka J.B. Kerning) - Principles of the Bible
2. Franz Dornseiff - The Alphabet in Mysticism and Magic [based on his 1916 PhD thesis Buchstabenmystik, i.e. Letter Mysticism]
3. Johann Baptist Krebs (aka J.B. Kerning) - Masonic Information [large - two volumes - alternatively he has a number of smaller volumes on freemasonry]
4. Johann Baptist Krebs (aka J.B. Kerning) - Meditations on Evangelical Truths
5. Johann Baptist Krebs (aka J.B. Kerning) - Wisdom of the Orient
6. Wilhelm Mannhardt - Forest and Field Cults [a sample has already been posted here]

I'm sure all would be interesting, but The Alphabet in Mysticism and Magic or Forest and Field Cults sound most relevant to my own interests.

I'll second the Alphabet in Mysticism and Magic, it sounds intriguing.

And oddly enough those are both ones that I have actually made starts on translating ;-)

Count me a third for The Alphabet in Mysticism and Magic, and a second for Forest and Field Cults. Above all, many thanks for your work!
