As astonished as it makes me, I have to stand up a bit for Silver Ravenwolf.
She has some of the stupidest books ever written in the sordid history of the occult, however...
She also happens to be the only person I've ever seen who attempted to restore the Runic Year based upon Odin's Anglo-Saxon Rune Song.
She was wrong, but she tried. And trying counts a lot with me. I thought she was brave for doing so.
Quoting: The_Gardener You standing up for ol' momma silver? Damn. Hell has frozen over. Next you'll be citing Raymond Buckland lol I'm just saying I thought her research was of quality. That's rare among that flaky little group. I thought it was a good educated guess. Good guess. Pretty accurate. You know, in the community almost noone cites or recommends her books anymore. She has almost been completely passed over. Into the dustbin with Raymond, Scott Cunningham etc Yeah, that may be a mistake in the long run. Silver had a few shining moments in her research as did Raymond. The younger pagan community may think it all old hat, but there are a few select jewels in there. I didn't get much out of Cunningham. But I did run into Buckland in research when I was going through Crowley's Argentum Astrum Equinox in theology school. Mostly, I think they're idiots compared to Crowley's theological knowledge. He learned much from his Plymouth Brethren minister father. I can actually do practice with Crowley because he was such a good dialectician. The rest I see as muggles. They're simply boring to me because they offer no practice and no training. I don't talk much about my Thelema because it would be misunderstood among the general Christian community.
