"Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock & Roll" - This is an interesting book. I strongly remember you mentioning this book in your various writings over the years. I never made time to check this out, but I will make sure I do this time around. In the Sinners film, it was very ironic to see how Sammie's father was trying to convince him to abandon "devil's music", when in actuality, Christianity is truly the devil's work.

"Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition" - This is another book that I most definitely need to check out. Ryan Coogler did an amazing job depicting our Hoodoo root work traditions, which repelled and protected us against vampiric dark forces throughout the film.

"The Psychic Vampire Codex: A Manual of Magick and Energy Work" - Wow, this is another piece of work that I most definitely need to check out. Let me get this straight: due to the fact that some people naturally produce an overabundance of bio-spiritual energy that they don't actually need, this automatically give others the right to siphon off this particular overabundance of energy. Spoken like a true parasite! In addition, your personal story is crazy! That Caucasian woman was trying to consume your energy like how Remmick was after Sammie's bio-spiritual energy in the film.

"My Soul to Keep" - Wow, this is another acclaimed classic that I must read. I just checked out the views on this book and can easily see that this is an amazing read. This book reminds of the "Solomon Dark" by Erick S. Gray, where the setting takes place during the plantation era. This is about a man who lost the love of his life (Irene) to an auction sale, where she was sold to another plantation. Solomon, being a tortured slave, ran into Akasha, a Black vampire with an axe to grind. Akasha gives Solomon the option to gain eternal life to seek revenge on his overseer and to possibly retrieve Irene and to join his vengeful cause. Akasha, on the other hand, is a rebellious Black vampire that is out for revenge against any and all white slave owners. Furthermore in regards to "My Soul to Keep", I see that you mentioned the sequel, "The Living Blood". But come to find out, this is all part of a four part series! The entire series consists of: 1) My Soul to Keep, 2) The Living Blood, 3) Blood Colony, and 4) My Soul to Take. So, I am in for a full treat thanks to you brother!

"The Science of Love" - I never read this, but I did read his other works "The Secret Science: For the Physical and Spiritual Transformation of Man" and "The Stellar Man". Baines drops amazing science and philosophy in his books. Therefore, "The Science of Love" seemingly is no different, especially with your endorsement. Therefore, it is a must read in my book.

Overall, this is an amazing book list and a mere study all within itself. I will personally go seek out each book mentioned and add to my personal library. I truly appreciate this contribution as well. The non-readers are missing out on an amazing treat by not reading this article.
