Occult advice for those on the Magical Path The magical path is full of pitfalls, blind alleys, and many monsters that will get in your way.
Occult, philosophical teachers and books provided short aphorisms for students to help them guide their way and prevent them from being eaten by too many metaphorical dragons. These books have fallen by the wayside, along with the collective knowledge of those teachers. In Things my Hierophant should have told me, the occult writer and magician Nick Farrell brings together a collection of short essays providing advice for those moments when a demon has disembowelled your cat or your washing machine appears possessed by an Eldritch abomination.
Packed full of cartoons and illustrations, Farrell is sometimes silly and light-hearted about questions that he has been taking seriously for 30 years. This book was first written a decade ago for a select group and has been extensively expanded and improved for a wider audience by Farrell’s more recent experiences and experiments. It also includes answers to questions that he regularly fields on social media.
Things my Hierophant should have told me, is a book for those on the path to pick up and read a paragraph or two whenever there is a spare moment between the terror which is their existence to reassure them that it is probably going okay.

Well if you can afford the book, you're doing okay
Aphoristically yours
it would be much better without the funny
