This reminds me of the opening chapter of Clive Barker's "The Great and Secret Show," in which the main guy gets a job running the dead letter department at the post office, and starts to understand that there's all this underground stuff happening in America. I always thought the dead letter department would probably be the coolest job in the world.

These are great. I loved pondering the more innocuous ones in comics, Charles Atlas style body guides and "how to win friends through mesmerism." Wish I'd ordered a few.

I can't help but read these in the voice of Billy Mays:

HI! BILLY MAYS HERE WITH CANDLE BURNING RITUALS.

ARE YOU TIRED OF BUYING SPECIAL OCCULT SUPPLIES?

WELL, HAVE I GOT A PRODUCT FOR YOU!

A surprising number of these have Wikipedia entries, by the way.

Oh man, a Magical Silver Mounted Badger's Paw! I wonder how much that went for, that wasn't any dime-store mystical talisman, no sir. There was some pretty classy junk in that sale I bet, I wish I could see the catalog!

Well, no...not yet and probably never will be. I mean, some people collect spoons, some people collect eldritch horrors.
