It’s around chapter six and onward that things just let loose, applying various branches of conspiracy theory to Downard, mainly via mystical toponomy and mind control. A whole bunch of names who are more or less entire books in their own right get tossed out there in just chapter six alone, from Aleister Crowley to Richard Oppenheimer to Jack Parsons and how they all relate back to the 33rd latitude. From there we expand into Robert Temple’s Sirius theory and UFO-lore, including the Order of the Solar Temple cult suicides, then move on to the assassination of Robert Kennedy, “The Revelation of the Method,” insane journeys with Downard in his silver stream trailer, the connections between Jim Keith’s death at Burning Man and the movie The Wicker Man and the Son of Sam murders… and it was about here that I found myself a little overwhelmed. There is a ton of information crammed into this little book, almost too much. Read my entire review here: http://ireadoddbooks.com/james-shelby-downards-mystical-war-by-adam-gorightly-2/ ( )

I'm not very impressed by this little book. Gorightly is a decent writer but very sloppy and the information is not very good either. There are a few entertaining ideas in it, but you will find the same half digested info for free at any random conspiracy forum online. ( )
