Should I share "The Lost Teachings of the Cathars"?

[Wildchildx11]

The Lost Teachings of the Cathars: Their Beliefs and Practices by Andrew Phillip Smith, I found it on a Magick server but it looks like it's more of a history book, sometimes there are books on psychology and other things.

It's not really a book on Magick but on the beliefs on a gnostic sect, I don't know how much detail it goes into or if it shares anything that can't be gathered on the Cathar site.

Please appreciate how I decided to ask if I had a question about something instead of linking something.

Do you want it in the library?

I'm not sure I can answer that one. There are quite a few books on the occult and paranormal that I personally enjoyed reading, but I would not put them in the forum library. I lean to more of a practical approach so as not to devolve the library's content into a general interest forum. @HoldAll is the historian, so perhaps his input would be helpful.

Moved thread and changed the title. No problem.

I would love to have it in the Library. It's always good to have history books here for the background knowledge they impart, esp. when they've been written by serious scholars. During the Occult Revival so much occult pseudo-history was made up because it somehow fitted in with what people wanted to believe, all that crap about purportedly unbroken traditions that stretch back over thousands of years all the way to Ancient Egypt (and probably Atlantis, too) when in actuality there is not a shred of evidence to support these claims. The Amazon preview makes it difficult to judge the quality of the book; it looks like popular history book, not like an overly scholarly one which should make it at least more readable, so post away!

I downloaded it, Catharism comes up a lot on my path because just like my Nazi delusions, I've also had delusions (I know I'm not so pseudo-delusions) but strong feelings of being the daughter of Jesus in a past life as an archetype I associated with and I associate Catharism as being from the alleged daughter of Jesus. I already had it downloaded regardless, I just try to share what I can.
