What times we live in.
Not long ago, the chance to peruse a collection of books like this would have been impossible. Now it is literally at our very fingertips.
The Internet Sacred Texts Archive is a collection of (mostly ancient or very old) texts of almost every imaginable topic is the esoteric pantheon. From Alchemy to Zoroastrianism, some 1700 books are available at this site.
If you haven't seen this before, you will be amazed at the titles available.

I've always loved this resource.
It's been so instrumental in the journeys of many, a place to go for answers then no answers can be found.
Thank you for sharing Sacred Texts.

Oh I know this site! I wrote a short story on pre-Vikings and needed Edda references. I ended up purchasing the Poetic Edda. That is a great site!

I use this too. It's good that we have a free resource like this now. Hope they keep it running for a long time.

I'd like to recommend another similar site Twilit Grotto- Esoteric Archives. Archives of Western Esoterica. It has a lot of excellent material following the western traditions of esotericism. Run by veritable scholar Joseph Peterson. It is another rabbit hole full of rich hours of exploration similar to the sacred texts archive.
Oh and the link!

Yes!
And another free book source - not all are occult themed, but a good many are. And virtually all reading can bring insights.

I just stumbled upon the site of the British Library and the section devoted to sacred texts. It's wonderful.

You can even turn the pages of the books!

I suspect I'll be spending a lot of time there. Old books are so incredibly .... well, incredibly something or other. They sort of stir up all sorts of feelings that one can't have otherwise.
