The Laughing Magus

“At the Crossroads tells the stories of what happens when the Western Magical Tradition encounters the African Diaspora and Traditional religions, and vice versa. It is a mixing and a magic that speaks of a truly new world emerging.”

There’s more; follow the link. Anyway, I’m pretty excited about this thing, but I’m completely disappointed that SI will not be offering a paperback edition. However, considering the quality of materials going into both physical copies, one can see how making a paperback version just isn’t feasible. There will be an ebook edition, but I currently suck at transitioning to that form of media (I do have ebooks.. I also have physical copies of those books - YOU WOULD LOVE MY LIBRARY). For me, there’s also just something inherently “magical” about holding a physical copy of a book, any book (except for most textbooks), even fictitious works. Don’t get me wrong; ebooks are great for the practical sorcerer, especially when one is out in the field and needs quite a few reference materials on hand - just throw them on the Droid. Anyway, so I’m debating, “Do I shell out $100 for this thing?” I might. I just might.

Also, I either know or are familiar with a lot of the folks who have contributed to this thing, which makes it even more enticing. At the Crossroads is literally a compilation of the dudes whom I dig.

EDIT:

Bought it..
