Hi everyone—thanks for organizing this thread regarding experiences and interactions with them.
It happened at their "Arcane Academy." I used to be a regular on their site—specifically, I had an account and a personal dashboard there. I was active on their platform for about three years. Then, just the other day—quite recently, actually—I went to log in, only to find that I was no longer there. It seems they have an automated system that purges users who haven't shown any recent activity. It was an automatic removal—but that really shouldn't have happened in my case. I was actually one of their favorites. They had always treated me well; I even corresponded and communicated with them directly. So, it remains a mystery why they kicked me out.

I purchased several books from them—specifically, several courses by Al-Buni (Parts 1, 2, and 3, I believe). Then, for some reason, things stalled. Somehow—I’m not sure exactly how—they just vanished. I mean, from my account dashboard. All my purchased courses and everything else used to be listed there.
I tried to recover my account with them, but they told me that I wasn't on their list—even though I definitely was.
All in all, he presents some rather decent topics—mantras and formulas translated from rare Arabic sources. However, it is astonishing where he managed to procure his materials regarding the Elder Masters, the Annunaki...
Later on—due to the fact that Ishtar Publishing vanished or shut down—I ran into some issues. They had promised to deliver a number of books, but ultimately failed to do so; they operated using a bonus points system, and I had accumulated a substantial number of points. They pledged to ship everything out and fulfill all orders, but in the end, they only sent the books that had been paid for directly via PayPal. Their points system simply disappeared, and—all things considered—since they failed to make good on the promises they made to their customers, I no longer fully trust them and have no desire to purchase anything from them. They failed to deliver, complete, or even produce some of the very materials they had used to entice people to their website in the first place.
Later, I had to turn to other side occult resources—sites like Occult.click, Zlibrary, and so on—to obtain the rest of his materials. Although they promised to send them, somehow... they failed to do so. Well, I did manage to get what I needed through them—but still not everything. Some of the rarer books seem to have gotten stuck somewhere on their place...
