Declined Request IAO: Ophite Iconography - Jose Gabriel Alegría Sabogal

[darkologie]

Hello my dear wizard Family,

I hope u all doing well, here's a little petition about a book I've been searching for in a while.
It's a beautiful illustration book by the artist Jose Gabriel Alegria sabogal by anathema publishing.
And it presents a thought provoking mystic and occult gnostic world view as understood by the ophites.

Thanks & blessings

Rule No. 5 applies: "The request must reasonably be able to be fulfilled (don't ask for super rare books that are not digitized and obviously no one has access to them)". The book is only available as a hardcover from a fringe publisher.

I'm sorry, I didn't know it wasn't digitized at all, I remember having access to some very rare books like the hekataeon by jack grayle through occult reddit forums. You loose nothing by asking kindly maybe someone in the community has it. For example I have some books from the anathema publishing. Anyway if I find it somewhere I'll share it here.

I understand that people frequently request super-rare books here because they feel that they have no other option but it's still a Forum rule violation. "Request Declined" is mainly meant as a signal to other members spending their precious time ferretting out books that it's pretty pointless looking for that particular tome - it doesn't mean that the request is prohibited from being fulfilled.

We've had requests for bibliophile editions limited to 99 copies (or even 33, if I remember correctly). Miracles do happen from time to time, I've posted rare books before that I came across by chance. There have been even cases where Forum members have scanned such books themselves and shared them here, or bought an ebook expressly for the purpose of making it available here. However, book searches on the internet are time-consuming, and having to find out first for oneself that the book in question was only published in hardcover by a fringe publisher in a small number of copies because the requesting member didn't even provide a link is frustrating.

You're absolutely right
