alt_percyMy dear Antonin,
You were generous enough to mention your willingness in the past to lend me certain texts from the extensive collection of books you have collected on your travels. Naturally, now that I have entered Our Lord's service more directly, I am even more grateful for your kindness. I would certainly profit from your guidance as to what texts might serve as the most fruitful basis for further study. I still occasionally pick up my copy of Mastery Over Self, to refresh myself with the exercises, but...
Yes.
Perhaps--I cannot seem to locate my copy of Clements-Chichester's Grimories of the Worthy Families. That was your recommendation, was it not?
My own father did not give me the sort of guidance that one would expect of a Worthy Family. I feel the deficit most keenly.
I remember one absurd book he showed me--I no longer remember the title clearly, something like Zed and the Artistry of Muggle Transportation. An American book. Can you imagine? He was obsessed with Muggles. He couldn't make heads or tails of the book himself, but he said that it might be fun if we both read it and it might spur some discussion.
Fun. How ridiculous.
What should I read next?
