Clock Shavings

I enjoy the book. It's fun to read at night the questions she askes during the interview of the entity are spooky.You have to have a interest in Christianity view points I haven't finished the book but it is a large turned no doubt.

I have enjoyed my trip down this rabbit hole. It is interesting how you can find parts of the jigsaw everywhere and how they fit together (albeit are jigsaws are all different). Tracy has given much thought to all aspects, and I like how she isn't driving her opinion down your throat. I think that reality is stranger than fiction. I think there is a huge swathe of knowledge that a few keep to themselves.It's easier to say "I think", than "I believe." "Think" doesn't involve fighting with your own ego when your belief in something that turns out to be incorrect. Just my thoughts.

Tracy Renee Twyman has written a book that is unlike anything I've ever encountered. You might think it odd that I use the word `encountered' instead of the more expected `read', but there's a reason. You see I discerned something more than just a book here; there is a living presence, other than the author, residing within these printed pages. You will recognize this presence as a disquieting sensation that paradoxically pushes the reader away, while simultaneously pulling them deeper into the mysteries waiting within. At first you will sense a cautionary impulse, an interior warning to discontinue reading. However if you are willing to fight through this innate defense mechanism before long this feeling will give way to a deep fascination that will override that initial impulse. With that said, welcome to the stout of heart. Welcome to the world of Clock Shavings'!Since this book is autobiographical in nature I feel certain that the author is more than just aware of this dichotomous fear vs. fascination process I am referring to. Unquestionably she has moved in some of the darker corners of the esoteric, occult world where the more cautious and timid amongst us dare not go. Such being the case she has become intimate with particular people, groups and spiritual practices that have opened her mind and soul to non-physical dimensions and entities that may have agendas that are not in mankind's best interests. Thankfully some people just don't know what's good for them.Throwing caution to the wind Tracy takes the reader on a remarkable journey of mythic proportions involving a quest undertaken by her newly founded secret society, `Ordo Lapsit Exillis' (Stones of Exile). Operating under a stated goal of discovering the true nature of the holy grail and exactly how it functions within the esoteric history and contemporary descendants of the royal bloodline of France. A lineage which allegedly includes Jesus of Nazareth and Mary Magdalene within its line of progenitors. Aided by her best friend and husband Brian, Tracy's quest oscillates between objective intellectual research and subjective personal experience. The first leading to the publishing of the now defunct underground classic zine (self-published magazine), `Dagobert's Revenge' and the latter to a specially designed Ouija board used to successfully contact the infamous goat-headed god Baphomet along with a number of other nefarious disembodied spirits.Believe me when I say you will not be able to put this book down. Between the highly charged channeled material, the internal politics and intense egos warring within the OLE (Ordo Lapsit Exillis) and the arcane material presented you're in for quite a ride. If you enjoy exploring such topics as; Grail lore, numerology, divination, alchemy, etymology, sacred geometry, mythology, Satanism, Kabbalah, secret societies, the Nephilim, lost civilizations, Christian eschatology, UFO's, reptilians and the hollow earth then this is the book for you.The final section of the book; "Terminus: Further and Beyond" (pages 252 - 418) functions in true interdisciplinary fashion presenting a dazzling comparative analysis and synthesis of the material presented, as well as some final thoughts & personal reflections from Tracy. This section is by far the most intellectually demanding portion of the book and will require the reader's utmost attention.Whether you regard Tracy's interests and actions as being fearless or foolhardy, her inquisitive nature and research oriented pursuits have led to the creation of an amazing document. The authors firsthand accounts with preternatural entities coupled with her intellectual prowess within a wide range of esoteric fields have successfully coalesced in `Clock Shavings' into what just might be her Magnum Opus (Great Work). I predict that in the years to come this will be recognized as the book that summoned Baphomet out from the dusty pages of Templar history and veiled allusions of Freemasonry into the contemporary occult landscape as a conscious, aggressive personality to be dealt with. For good or ill, Baphomet once again moves amongst us!

A good researcher will often spend years investigating a subject and gathering sources for a book or a report, but there are few researchers who will risk their own lives to get first-hand knowledge of a subject. Tracy Twyman did just that, and the account of her investigation into and eventual communion with the entity known as Baphomet is given in this book.It is a very well-written book that is so intriguing that I read it all in only a couple of days. There is some mysterious force within the text that draws you into it and captivates you. No doubt it is the same force that inspired the author. I do not say this to scare anyone, but I say it to make readers aware that by reading this book they are tapping into a source of intelligence that is aware of all those that engage with the material.Before purchasing it, I thought the book was little more than a collection of transcripts from board sessions. It turned out to be a detailed account of the author’s experiences in investigating the subject, and the transcripts were only part of that experience. It reads like a story. I highly recommend for those truly interested in the subject.

It was an interesting book, however at times incoherent and confusing
