Description:

This is the collected writings of one of the founding fathers of the Moorish Orthodox Church. “In searching for the origin or seed of this vision return to 1965 when Walid al Taha - brilliant junky 350-pound jazz saxophonist poet - inducted us into the Moorish Orthodox Church, gave us a copy of al Ghazzali’s Confessions, & told us about the Assassins. ‘Passions are equal to Destinies’ as Fourier's calculus teaches - & these krazy-bricks laid the foundation of a temple of desire - of an imaginal Egypt 2-dimensional as a cigarette-packet design from 1913 but also n-dimensional - emerald gate to Jabulsa & Jabulqu the no-where Cities. Pyramids, palms, sphinxes, roses, crescent-&-star, minaret -- the orientalismo of a child's reverie. Why shouldn’t ‘Truth’ take the form of our obsessions?” – Peter L. Wilson (Hakim Bey)

Fascinating and sensitive introduction... [ No Rating ] 3 Sep 2006 (updated 10 Sep 2006)
The 100 Seeds of Beirut is a fascinating and sensitive introduction to the life and work of Walid Al Taha (Warren Tartaglia), a Moorish saint deserving of wider recognition. This compilation is a light on a hidden - but important - part of Moorish history. Many readers may have encountered the name "Warren Tartaglia" in accounts of the genesis of the Moorish Orthodox Church. Now, thanks to the author's research, they can encounter for themselves the insights and inspiration of Moorish Orthodoxy's early days.
