What this library publishes, and what it does not
Everything here is free to read, carries no advertising, and asks nothing of you. That only works if the library is careful about what it puts up. Every volume is either old enough to belong to everybody, or published because the person who holds the rights said it could be. Where the answer was unclear, the book is not here — and this page says which ones, and why.

Enochian Magick Reference, version 0.8
Benjamin Rowe
Free non-commercial electronic distribution, granted by the author in the work itself.
Their conditions

- All copies must carry the complete, unedited text and the copyright notice.
- Readers may make one printed copy for personal use.
- All other rights are retained by the author.
How this library meets them
- The library is free to read and carries no advertising, no payment of any kind, and no commercial activity.
- The complete text is served unedited, ending with the author’s copyright notice on the final page.
- Text re-set from a clean electronic copy: the 2004 disc extraction was font-shifted gibberish (2,988 characters over 55 pages, “Contents” reading as “&RQWHQWV”), which could not have satisfied the ‘complete, unedited’ condition.
- Only the source page’s own markup was normalised (wiki bold/italic tokens and HTML blockquote wrappers). All of the author’s content is present, including the resource URLs and editorial brackets.
Known gap
The document notes that its illustrations live on separate linked pages; those are not held here, so the diagrams it refers to are absent.

Free to distribute, but our copy does not carry the notice (2)
The author gave permission on condition that the complete text and his copyright notice travel together. The library's copies of these have lost the notice, so publishing them would break the very condition that allows it. They are held until a copy carrying it turns up — a fixable problem, not a permanent one.

The underlying work is old enough to be free, but this particular typesetting, translation or apparatus is not. Where the library holds a clean public-domain copy of the same text, that one is published instead — Leland's Aradia and Charles' Book of Enoch are both here, just not in these editions.

The Sacred Symbols of MuJames Churchward, 1933 on its own title page, three years past the line. It circulates freely on a claim that the copyright was never renewed, which may well be true and which this library cannot verify: renewal is a records search, not a date. Held until it can be. Churchward’s narrative volumes, The Lost Continent of Mu (1926) and Children of Mu (1931), are a separate question and are not held here because they are not here

Principia Discordiathe work itself says “Reprint what you like”, but this particular file’s preface states that its makers appended pages from a Steve Jackson Games edition knowing those are copyrighted. The extent of the borrowed material cannot be bounded from the file, so the volume is held whole. A clean copy could be re-sourced

Names held back across the board
Anything arriving under one of these names is held, from any source. Matching on the name rather than the book is deliberate: it stops a second copy of the same work slipping in from somewhere else under a different title. They are matched as written here, which is why some are bare surnames — a net is meant to be wide.

Benjamin Rowe appears here and also among the works published by permission above. That is not a contradiction — it is what the rule is for. The name is held by default, and lifted only for the particular works whose licence the library can show it meets. Other works by the same author stay down, including ones under the same licence whose only surviving copy here is too damaged to satisfy it.
Served in some countries only
Copyright terms differ by country. A few works have entered the public domain in the United States, where the 95-year term from publication has run, while their authors died recently enough that Britain and the European Union still protect them for seventy years after the author’s death. The library serves those works where they are public domain and nowhere else: a visitor elsewhere is told so, and told the year the work opens everywhere. The country comes with the request and is not recorded. The rule is applied one volume at a time, by name, and this is the whole list.
The Bardo Thodol: The Tibetan Book of the Dead
Evans-Wentz, W. Y. (Walter Yeeling), 1878-1965 (ed.); Kazi Dawa-Samdup (tr.) · served in the United States · opens everywhere on 1 January 2036
First published by Oxford University Press in 1927: in the public domain in the United States since 1 January 2023. Its editor, W. Y. Evans-Wentz, died in 1965, so in Britain and the European Union it stays in copyright for seventy years from the end of that year, until 31 December 2035. The 1927 first edition only; the later editions add Jung's commentary and Govinda's foreword, which are in copyright everywhere.
