Desmond, Arthur; [Ragnar Redbeard], Might Makes Right. www.BronzDragon. [1893, 2003]
Ragnar Redbeard was the pseudonym of Arthur Desmond, the author of “Might Is Right,” an ultra-individualistic creed of the 1890’s. A bizarre mixture of Stirner’s anarcho-individualism, Nietzsche’s “Triumph of the Will” and Darwin’s evolutionary ideologies. Reading this work allowed in the form of a ritual would make a suitable Catharsis Rite for any who are looking to cleanse themselves of old attitudes and emotional baggage.

In many respects this book is useful as a reformation of knowledge of the Khemetic religious paradigm. The clarification or the relationships between the Neteru and the native pronouncements of their names are especially appreciated.
When it comes to the author’s Hebrew scholarship, however, something is desired. Particularly, he argues heavily from the perspective that the Torah is a singular construction. Hebrew linguists have identified four literary styles. The Deuteronomical Texts written between the reign of Josiah to the return from Babylon. This also fills much of the major histories from Joshua to the Books of the Kings and reflects the monarchy’s and priesthood’s wish for a unified kingdom and religion. The Jehovadic texts are drawn from the traditions of the Judahite Kingdom. These traditions are older than the Judahite Kingdom and maybe strongly influenced by Khemetic sources. The Elohym Texts are drawn from the traditions of the Israelite Kingdom. These traditions are older than the Israelite Kingdom and maybe strongly influenced by Haitti and Mesopotamian sources. Finally, there are the Redaction texts which stitch the other three together into a smoother fabric.

Listed as a concise history of the black arts — and those who dared to practice them. Sadly, I would place it onto the same category as The Malleus Maleficarum. Each relies on superstition, fantasy, and on the myth of the features they portray, without the foundations of those myths to secure the secret truths they shelter. This work might be of value if you are writing a fantasy story, but not if you are looking for the occult secrets of Mystics and Magi.
