I've yet to actually read any Massey, what books of his are the most useful to a typhonian practitioner? I'm looking at 'Ancient Egypt the light of the world'. What do you guys think of Massey? Edit: it doesn't have to be 'useful', interesting is good. it seems like all of his works are cited in KG's bibliographies.

It has been some time since I've posted here but I do keep a regular eye on the place. This is the slowest moving forum on the internet but as we say in Our Work, it takes a patient knight to fight a snail.
The best place to start to get an idea of Gerald Massey's thought processes and ideas is a smaller collection titled Gerald Massey's Lectures. His other three major works are The Book of the Beginnings, Natural Genesis, and Ancient Egypt, Light of the World. Those are the most useful to the Typhonian researcher/practitioner.

Thanks Nalyd Audible has an audiobook version of Ancient Egypt Light Of The World that I've been thinking about but I listened to a sample and I really think I need some context before diving into an audiobook of this. I think I will read the lectures first!

You will probably miss a lot in audiobooks of Massey's major work. His lectures might read well in that format as they were originally delivered orally but they are almost as densely packed as the others. There is a descent introductory article in Starfire (Vol. II, No. 1) by Rey Bowen titled "Gerald Massey: His Life and Works" that might interest you if you can get ahold of a copy. THIS might also interest you.

I've ordered the Starfire issue you mentioned and am waiting for it to show up. I also picked up Gerald Massey's lectures and am pleasantly surprised by his writing style, it's so conversational and easy to read, good stuff.

I was wrong, Gerald Massey is not easy to read. To clarify, it's enjoyable reading his stuff, but actually absorbing the information contained therein beyond the title of the essay is a real challenge.
