The work of Rook Hawkins
This is really a message for Rook, hi. I only just stumbled across your prodigious work today by chance, as I was doing a web search on Vittorio Macchioro's From Orpheus to Paul. I listened to your video about Nazareth and the lecture on Jesus, both of which I found enjoyable and perspicuous. Then I scrolled through your impressive wish list and noticed you do have a book of G.A. Wells listed, however I would recommend more than one, as he is such a careful and forensic writer. Also I notice there is no mention of John Lamb Lash, so I recommend his website www.metahistory.org as John's highly original writings on Gnosis are sure to catch your interest. This is more than sufficient for the present I'm sure, and I seldom presume to recommend books without some sort of formal contact. I am based in the UK - a (very) mature sceptical esotericist currently working on a doctoral dissertation through Newcastle University in NSW. I look forward to reading your book on Gnosis and Orphism as these topics interest me greatly. I hope you find these suggestions helpful, all the best David (Llewellyn Foster) p.s. I also ought to mention Thomas McEvilley's The Shape of Ancient Thought as I believe you will find this essential reading if no-one else has yet mentioned it to you...
Thank you, David. I have
Thank you, David. I have quite a substantial library of books, including several from G.A. Wells who I greatly admire. (I have some 600 books currently in my library) I will look into those other books. Hang around a bit and look into some of my blogs. The articles there are full of great, substantial information.
The best to you,
Rook

Et suppositio nil ponit in esse.
"You act ridiculously," said Ion, "to doubt everything. For my part, I should like to ask you what you say to those who free possessed men from their terrors by exorcising the spirits so manifestly. I need not discuss this: everyone knows about the Syrian from Palestine, the adept in it, how many he takes in hand who fall down in the light of the moon and roll their eyes and fill their mouths with foam; nevertheless, he restores them to health and sends them away normal in mind, delivering them from their straits for a large fee. When he stands beside them as they lie there and asks : 'Whence came you into his body?' the patient himself is silent, but the spirit answers in Greek or in the language of whatever foreign country he comes from, telling how and whence he entered into the man; whereupon, by adjuring the spirit and if he does not obey, threatening him, he drives him out. Indeed, I actually saw one coming out, black and smoky in color." "It is nothing much," I remarked," for you, Ion, to see that kind of sight, when even the 'forms' that the father of your school, Plato, points out are plain to you, a hazy object of vision to the rest of us, whose eyes are weak." - Lucian, Lover of Lies
