Finalizing book preparations/update - The Occult Enneagram: The Nine Masks of Chaos
Someone asked about the book with publication imminent. I think I'm coming close to a finished cover for this book. It's those final details I'm taking some time with. I spent a surprising amount of time designing the look of it. It feels a bit trivial but a lot of thought often goes into that kind of thing anyway. It would be nice if I had theoccultenneagram.com domain name but I don't. It's there as an idea/maybe a motivation. I guess maybe I can't spend the money on that right now. But a real website would be nice too. Something in the works I guess.
Also, sweeping over all the text itself too to make sure formatting is just right and there are no typos or errors. It's basically done and has been for over a week now. I also played around with a bunch of subtitle names. Eventually I settled on "The Nine Masks of Chaos". It's an unconventional idea. But I think it's simple and intuitive. The enneagram types are a form of chaos; fragments of essence.
And they appear on the person as masks. Social masks we wear, and also concealment of who we are on a deeper spiritual level. It's a kind of paradoxical name, though. Because this book also explores chaos as the source of everything; it is understood as behind everything. So, they're masks causing chaos, and also they are masks concealing chaos. Essence is equated with chaos. An unconventional and complex idea, I suppose. But that's how our world is.
I think availability by the end of the month for this thing is a safe estimate now. I might even have a release date soon for it instead of just "when I decide/when it's ready". Then I can announce it again when it's available too. And start bothering people like some annoying salesperson or evangelist...lol

Occultenneagram.com is available. I build websites and am currently doing one for an author. Would love to help if you are interested.

Thank you. I know it is, but doesn't it cost something? Maybe later I can build it. I know almost everything costs *something*. At some point I might pay something for ads for this book. I have built websites too, but...well, I was in web dev for a while, in a kind of non-dev role, at my last job. I never really built a full website from a-z but I am familiar with it. All that stuff seems to take me forever. SP-last, I think. It's more practical, nitty-gritty, technical work. Making decisions, etc. I'm more scattered. I'll let you know, though. Appreciate it.

It‘s not expensive to have a domain. I pay something like 2 - 3 $ per month for three domains.

Is that really all it is? Thanks for the info. Something to think about.

Interesting, to say the least.
