From Mystic Tea Room
Why Bibliographies?
As a bibliophile, the descendent of several generations of bibliophiles, and the daughter of a bibliophile, bibliographer, research librarian, book scout, book shop owner, and writer, i have always valued bibliographies and vintage book store catalogues as quick ways to get into a subject and learn who worked in the field before i did. Annotated bibliographies are a special joy and a delight, because they not only provide data whereby you can locate older texts, they also contain a spark of the soul of the annotator, who provides a unique perspective on the topic as well. Creating bibliographies by topic from my own collection of vintage books about divination is therefor a natural task for me.
For more on my own history as a bibliographer, see the page on Instructions in Tasseomancy.
At our web site, The Yronwode Institution for the Preservation and Popularization of Indigenous Ethnomagicology, my husband nagasiva and i maintain an assortment of bibliographies on occultism that you might enjoy. Check out the link for a bit of fun.
But here we are in the Tea Room, so let us deal with the topic at hand.
