This is a great age for books on Neopaganism and the occult. It used to be that good books on such topics were difficult to find. Today, readers have access to many great books, and more are always coming to the market.
There’s a new occult book on the market that I highly recommend: The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book by Alan Moore and Steven Moore.
The Moon and Serpent Bumper Book (I’ll call it from here on out MSBB because I’m lazy) is fantastic.
The book gets its title ‘bumper book’ from popular children’s books. It’s a giant tome of a book; it weighs over 2 pounds with a page size of 9.25 x 12.38 inches, which allows for fantastic art. The MSBB is a visual feast. Some art is reminiscent of Mad Magazine, while others remind me of Heavy Metal (the illustrated magazine, not the music genre). Other art reminds me of retro children’s art reminiscent of the 50s and 60s.
Don’t let the cover art and bumper book in the title fool you. The MSBB has a warning on the back that the book is for adults only. This is primarily due to nudity and sexual content.
The MSBB is more than art and storytelling. It’s a fantastic starter for new magic-users. It gives excellent information on the Kabbalah and the Tarot. It explores why and how magick works. The MSBB also has numerous small mini-biographies on the sorcerers and alchemists of history.
This is one of those occult books that everyone needs in their home library.
