THE BENIGHTED PATH by Richard Gavin (+ of Cosmogonic Eros 2nd Ed.) [Esoteric Book Review]

[@silkweaver]

It certainly is a book that truly deserves your review! Very well done Denis, a delight to watch, thank you 🙏

[@FoolishFishBooks]

A real pleasure to read! And to hold and behold as well, to boot! Can one hope for more?! :D

This review sums up exactly why I count on Theion Publishing to produce books, which consistently reflect both the ideas of authentic “left-hand path” thinkers and the underlying source material that inspired them. Other publishers in same class are hit-or-miss, while others, though rarely reviewed here, wrap up utter dross in shiny animal skin, call it “left-hand” path and then presumably make a buck or two. Perhaps that is how it goes with any market and its up to the consumer to make an informed decision or risk getting burned. I will, therefore, take the opportunity to thank Foolish Fish for making it a great deal easier to find the publishers, authors and books that are amongst the upper registers in quality of content and “beauty”! Without FF, my shelves might well be sadly deprived of these beautiful volumes that adorn them now, because the reviews I found here.

Adam, I'm so glad you feel that way! It seems from your words that I'm managing to do the thing that I set out to do - cut out at least a little of the research work for people who have other things to do with their lives xD And let me reassure you, you won't be seeing any "Become A Living Grifter" reviews on my channel any time soon ;P

[@adamluetto8137]

@@FoolishFishBooks Lol! What a relief!!!

[@Aureus_Jackal]

This channel is definitely the gold standard for book reviews. I always look forward to seeing a new one being posted.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Ah! @Aureus, your words go straight to my heart :D Thank you so much for your kindness! Very best wishes to you!

I highly recommend Richard Gavin's fiction as well. If you like darker fiction and folk horror, Grotesquerie and Sylvan Dread are both fantastic short story collections.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Oh! very nice! :D I didn't know!

[@Yoshoggutha]

I just discovered him and his work and I'm just head over heels. This stuff has changed my life.

I love your attention to ditails in your book reviews. I love clothbound books, but the quality can be lacking at time, so it's good to see someone go over those ditails. The Benighted Path sounds really interesting. A really good left hand path book can be hard to come by. Especially affordable ones. I have a small budget, buying good book can become difficult at times, but as a left hand path practitioner books like this are a gold mine. So thank you for the always wonderful reviews.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

So glad you found the review useful! Thank you so much for your very kind words :D

[@suzannetol]

@@FoolishFishBooks You're more than welcome. 😊

[@TechnoEsoterica]

I love that my copy arrived the same day you posted this!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Nice 😁👍

[@marq4375]

Waiting for my version "Of Cosmogonic Eros" and "The cult of the black cube" to come in the mail. I'm so excited.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Very good stuff!

[@Yoshoggutha]

The Black Cube looks really interesting 🤔

[@ramseydoon8277]

How did you like the books?

[@bookmedia67]

I have the first edition Cosmogonic Eros, so thanks for reviewing the second to I can put eyes on it. Looks nice, but I actually prefer the black illustrated dust jacket and original binding. Wonderful review as always.

[@CTexplosion]

As it happens I just ordered this on Monday! Excellent review as always, but now I'm even more impatient for my copy to arrive. 😂

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Hope you enjoy it! :D So glad you enjoyed the review! :)

[@enkicarbone3769]

I love your reviews!

[@zophielm2362]

Oooooooooooooh! I may have to consider ordering this....

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I think it may just be up your street!

[@Yoshoggutha]

I got EXTREMELY lucky and found a barely used copy on Ebay at a decent price! It's very difficult finding books like this after the initial print.

[@4everseekingwisdom690]

I've been interested in the left hand path for some time so I've added this one to my list..I was wondering.. my main fascination is on the esteem side.. the aghori baba..I was wondering if you knew any good works on this particular sect?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Yes! Aghora by Steven Svoboda (quoted in this text) most highly recommended. It also happens to be an absolute blast to read! 😄

[@4everseekingwisdom690]

@@FoolishFishBooks I just ordered the first book of the trilogy thanks!

[@Salzinni]

Hey, wonderful content as always :) . Quick question from Europe: Do you know where can we find Anathema books that are no longer listed in Cyclic Law?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

You can always try Watkins Books - visit their web page and give them a call.

[@Alex-kf1bv]

Hey iv been attaching words to some of my pre existing practices/thoughts. So i guess im having a hand at invocation. Any content from you on this subject would be greatly appreciated. I havnt seen or looked for anything on this subject, only from internal so far, but i respect your thoughts alot, would be intresting and greatly appreciated brain food

[@phillipjordan3013]

excellent review my good man. More left hand path and Satanism also Luciferian reviews are always appreciated

[@robertrodriguez8665]

How can I find this book in America?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Pretty sure they're all be sold out by now, but you can try reaching out to Miskatinic Books. They may still have/be getting some in stock.

[@Yoshoggutha]

At this point ebay is your best option . I spent days looking and finally was able to get one.

[@BenedictaXValentina]

Interesting the second book is beautifully made as for the front cover it looks like a depiction of Hekate, with the moon, and the rune called Thurisaz (Thursday) which got me thinking is that Hekate’s day like Freja’s day is Friday?! 🤔😊😁🙌🏻👍🏻✨🪬✨❤️‍🔥💎💎💎Lovely and thorough book reviews that are concise so thank you Foolish Fish X

[@FoolishFishBooks]

It's an interesting thought. My approach has always been that Hekate's day would be Monday - the day of Selene, I expect the Hail Hekate course I'm currently taking with Jack Grayle will clear that up :)

[@BenedictaXValentina]

@@FoolishFishBooks well thank you for clearing that up for me and you are currently doing a course about Hekate and the dark flame/shadow work etc, I take it? 🤔😁🥰🙌🏻👍🏻

[@FoolishFishBooks]

@@BenedictaXValentina Jack's course really covers every aspect of Hekate in its historical context, with a focus on the practical takeaways for a modern practitioner, so yes, both light and dark aspects of Hekate are covered.

[@BenedictaXValentina]

@@FoolishFishBooks that’s sounds cool 😎
