class-bundles
Class-bundles are downloadable one-off classes that give both an overview of a subject, and a number of primary and secondary sources that let you get an in depth understanding of it. They feature a recording of a long-form illustrated lecture, full scans of cited documents and literature - from pre-modern books of magic to treatises on occult philosophy and a variety of related sources - as well as bibliographies and recommended further reading lists, and supplementary supporting material - lecture notes, slides, and so on. They are free-standing independent modules on a variety of topics drawn from my research and practices.
