Thanks to my Patrons, who contribute as little as $2.00 per week for an exclusive one-year sneak-peek behind the scenes, i am able to write a new web page every week on the history of folk magic and divination. "The Hypnotism Bibliography, Part Seven at YIPPIE," is yet another installment of my insanely long-running, in-depth Hypnotism History series, hosted at The Yronwode Institution for the Preservation and Popularization of Indigenous Ethnomagicology as a one-year Patreon exclusive for those who financially support my writing.
In this episode, Melvin Powers leaves his home in Irvington, New Jersey, and heads West to Hollywood! Power Publications becomes a dusty memory as Our Hero makes a new home amidst the Eucalyptus and the Palms, founds the Wilshire Book Company, concocts distribution deals with British publishers, searches the Library of Congress for expired copyrights, and satisfies a nation's unspoken need for knowledge. As always, my reviews of these decades-old hypno-books are illustrated and annotated. The aim is not merely to catalogue, but also to educate and entertain -- and whether you are a hypnotist or not, this tour through my personal hypnotism library, gathered over the course of 60 years, will certainly get you to thinking about the nature of your own mind.
