Free Occult Books - The Free Esoteric Library
The Story of the Free Occult Book Site
The internet has totally changed the "information industry". The information industry was one of the largest industries on the planet. Few people think of "information" as a product. This is very incorrect, as almost everything depends on knowledge, training and education, these are all part of the information industry.
The Internet allows for vast amounts of information to be offered for almost nothing and in lots of cases for free. It also brought the price of used books dramatically down. With hundreds offering the same book, prices fell on most books. The locating of rare books is easy and simple with worldwide searches.
Massive public sites offering published information, videos, movies and TV series are found on the web by the hundreds. Tens of thousands of public domain texts are offered on numerous sites, some even selling these books to the public. Sites like Amazon have sellers offering free public domain texts for a fee. The Internet with it's massive resources is a blessing and a curse. The billions of pages of information offered on the Web is confusing and it is difficult to find what you looking for, with the all the commercial products mixed into searches. Search engines do not offer the best search results, they offer the results they are paid to offer or are fooled into thinking their results are correct by marketing tricks. We have gone from mail order catalogs and long delays in ordering to finding products fast, or should I say, finding "something" fast. Few of us have the time it takes to locate all the free products online that are offered. These are usually pushed to page 20 on search engines and beyond.
After losing a 4 thousand book occult library to hurricane Katrina, I was unable replace this massive library because of the cost to do so. The room needed for housing this size collection is also problematic, just buying the book cases needed was a major investment. The digital reality changed all these. Books now became eBooks and kept in a digital memory, both physical and in the Cloud. The room required for a huge library was a few square feet, instead of thousands of square feet! I found out that there are over 600 websites featuring all kinds of books for free, even audio books. You can also obtain CDs with hundreds of books on them from E-Bay and other sites for a very low price. I was able to replace 95% of my library and added several thousand more for next to nothing, most were free.
While some occultists know of these resources many do not. The major problems with a lot of free sites is that they offer millions and millions of pages of documents. Their search engines have problems locating all the information they offer on their site. Search engine results are poor to terrible. Trying to find specific information on most sites is near impossible. I have spent years searching and locating important rare texts that have been lost to the general public for years and will be lost forever. Those occultists just starting to learn, know nothing of the classic texts of 20 to 30 years ago. They only have knowledge of the common modern junk offered today, many of these occultists are 20 to 30 years old themselves!
Modern occultists of all ages are stuck in an economy that forces them to seek out as much free information as possible. It is no longer a choice to buy books, it is a must to access as much free information as possible. The low cost eBook revolution is almost here. The cost of eBooks should decrease as sales volume increases. The major change for the individual is. getting use to reading on a computer. This seems odd at first but, is a fantastic boom when you get accustom to it. The ability to increase font size makes reading on a computer much better than a traditional book.
There are all kinds of benefits from converting over to eBooks in general. All printed media should be offered electronically now. Paper production is a terrible polluter with huge cost factors. The saving on paper, transportation, shipping, storage and the resulting massive decrease in pollution this product causes is mind boggling. All magazine should be electronic as well. With new color readers this is possible and will happen in the future as standard procedure.
This site is dedicated to bringing you all the finest books offered on web for free. All links will be DIRECT and not involve scam downloading and use fees. That is not a free book, it is buying a book that you can obtain for free. These fraudulent rip off businesses should be avoided at all costs. This site will list the fraudulent businesses, the illegal PDF book mills. Once a site offers a book for a fee, that site needs to have the right to sell that product or ownership of that product. This includes sending people to links that requires fees or trick registration procedures that want credit cards and other personal information. These are businesses making profits off others peoples work, not free links that all can access.
To not use all the free information offered on the web is foolish. Most of this information has been online for many years with thousands of people reading them. This information is on public responsible sites that are easy to locate and contact. These are not hidden sources or some rip off "torrent" site or downloading profit making scam. Large well-known public sites, even with their bad search engines are easily found and work with any serious publisher or author. Simple forms and procedures will remove anything of question from their sites within hours. This site like Google, will remove any link that is questioned and assist removing the content from the original hosting service for free.
The world has radically changed, it is a digital world with massive amounts of information offered online for free. The so-called copyright laws are confusing and very few publishers bother to enforce their ownership, if they have ownership at all. Books that were published 20 to 30 years ago seem to be never reprinted, ownership is in doubt as authors die. Publishers have a responsibility to take a tiny part of their profits to hire people to do simple enforcement procedures that cost very little.
Buying information is another case all together. Supporting criminals that offer information for profit directly or indirectly through downloading scams, is terribly wrong! This hurts the publishing industry, authors and the occult community in general. It is also important for publishers and authors to take a bit of time and enforce their ownership. It appears they have no interest in doing this whatsoever.
