Tomes of Magick: Akashic Brotherhood
The Akashic Brotherhood has a storied history both in game and out of game. These experts in the Mind sphere were also inspired by the Hong Kong action films of the 70s through 90s and turn their bodies into Awakened weapons. Find out how this Tradition was brought to life as Adam Simpson brings his expertise and Terry Robinson brings his ignorance to the question of "how do the Akashics line up with actual East Asian practices?" Adam also provides a reading list that the book didn't all the while Terry nods faking like he knows what's going on.
Notes!
Adam's Reading List
There are many translations available but this one makes use of more recent archaeological finds in the 1970s and has a nice commentary. A good place to get an overview of Akashic thinking. Please don't confuse with the Taoist folk religions and Taoist magical traditions that came later.
A short book and rather cryptic. This is later Taoist thought than the book above. A great place to find odd quotes to put in the mouths of older Akashic NPCs.
As good a book as any to get an overview of Zen thought. If you don't have time to read the whole thing you'll still get some mileage out of the 10 Oxherding Pictures w/ Commentary at the back.
Not really a good example of Akashic thought or practice but a great book for Mage and full of East Asian flavor. If you get inspired to create an alternate technomagick based on "psycho science" you wouldn't be the first.
