Customer Reviews

Sacred-Texts.com is an Outstanding Compilation / Resource
For those unfamiliar with the "Internet Sacred Text Archive," the site is an enormous compilation of "Sacred Texts" of the world religions. Also included on the site and this wonderful CD-Rom, are various Philosophies, Mysteries, Shakespeare and much more.
Regardless of your Faith; Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Baha'i, Shamanism, Wicca / Witchcraft / Goddess Worship, et al...including Thelema and Zoroastrianism, you will find material on this CD-Rom that applies to your life, or your Research in Religion, Spirituality, Philosophy, and The Mystical.

I have been sharing the site with friends for a long time. I would-have written a review for this CD-Rom sooner, but I assumed it was probably reviewed numerous times, already. Apparently, word has not spread about this amazing Compilation of Documents!

This is a list of the information from the "Internet Sacred Text Archive" (World Religions, Traditions, Mysteries) :

"African, Age of Reason, Alchemy, Americana, Ancient Near East, Atlantis, Australia, Baha'i, Bible, Book of Shadows, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, DNA, Egyptian, Esoteric & Occult, Evil, Fortean, Goddesses, Gothic, Greek and Roman, Grimoires, Hinduism, I Ching, Islam, Jainism, Journals, Judaism, Legends and Sagas, Mormonism, Native American, Neopaganism/Wicca, Nostradamus, Oahspe, Pacific, Paleolithic, Piri Re'is Map, Sacred Books of the East, Sacred Sexuality, Shamanism, Shinto, Sikhism, Sufi, Tantra, Taoism, Tarot, Thelema, Timeline, Tolkien, UFOs, Utopia, Women, Zoroastrianism"

I just checked-out my new V 1.2 version of the CD-ROM from "Sacred Texts.com" and found nearly every religion / philosophy is covered on the V 1.2 CD, which has new additions, such as the "Thelema" section of the website, Shakespeare, etc. I highly recommend the Sacred Texts CD because;

a) The CD costs (Money) and this CD-Rom could save you hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the future (or inspire you to buy hard-copies of books, after Previewing them on the CD-Rom).

b) The CD Rom is much easier to Navigate, than the website, due to load time, or age of PC and/or Memory issues.

c) You always have access to the documents, even if the web connection is down.

d) Think of all the upgrades you can receive in the future.

e) Purchase of the CD supports the maintenance / preservation of "Internet Sacred Text Archive."

Suffice to say, this is The Best opportunity available for people who are serious about researching Religion, Spirituality, Occult, Mysteries, et al. I am more than thrilled with my purchase of this CD-Rom !

Stunning
Unbelievable. A lovingly chosen library of sacred and non-sacred texts and classics of great literature. It's huge. It would cost tens of thousands of dollars in paper form. Now, thanks to cheap scanning technology and the cd-rom format all of these books can sit comfortably on 1 CD!!!! Even 10 years ago we wouldn't have believed this possible. Highly recommended. You simply can't go wrong for 49$.

A chance to read the classic texts of a lifetime
This CD is worth every penny as far as I was concerned. I can take this disk with me anywhere and read ancient (and not so ancient) classics in my chosen path. A chance of a lifetime at a cost that cannot be compared.
