   (updated: 09/03/24)
3. Download must be clearly labeled
4. If possible, try to add a small image/thumbnail of the book to aid in identifying the correct version
5. Do not request books here. Use: Book Requests
6. Do not discuss books here. Use: Book Discussion and Reviews
7. Do not make duplicate threads for a book. Reuploads and mirrors are appreciated, but contain them to the original thread. It is your responsibility to search and make sure you are not making a duplicate thread
8. You may only share books written primarily in English. Small portions of excerpts of other languages are allowed in the book, but if more than 50% of the book is not in English, then the non-English portion must be an excerpt or reference to historical occult literature (e.g. PGM)
9. You may only share occult/magick books. You may share books occult-related topics that are widely regarded to be important to occult practice (such as meditation, botany etc) but there must be a strong connection to occult practice in the book (i.e. no coffee table meditation books, agriculture books etc) and it will be subject to staff discretion

This will not be retroactively enforced, but going forward, ALL book shares must be shared with MEGA links. You CAN also include other links, or mirror downloads to other links, but every single book share MUST have at least one MEGA link per file shared. This means if you have an Anna's Archive or PDFCoffee link or libgen (or ANY other type of link) you MUST download it, and upload it to MEGA and use that link when you are making a book share thread.

The reason for this is a new semi-automated archival system I am working on - more details will be shared later. This rule will not be applied to replies in the book requests section - yet - but it will either in the future, or that section will have links prohibited in the future. In the meantime, I'd highly appreciate if anyone can take fulfilled links from within the replies of threads in Book Requests, and make them into full Book Shares threads (using MEGA).

This. I’ve never figured out how. I only use my phone for uploading books if that makes a difference.

Go to the book's amazon page, click on the cover to display it separately, then right-click to open the menu - select 'copy image address', then use that address in your forum post where you click on the 'landscape' icon. Once the 'landscape' icon opens, paste in the image address you just copied from amazon or wherever, and the cover will appear. You can then resize it according to taste before you post your book.

Most of the stuff I have has no Amazon page, or any image online.
It would be nice to be able to actually just upload an image from a screen capture (jpg)...

How to post pictures

At the moment, WF doesn't allow you to directly upload images from your computer on to WF. Why? Well, because we operate for free, and we aren't facebook, we don't have access to unlimited servers and storage. Uploading pics directly to WF would get expensive in the future when there are more...
