Since the Books of Gor were started back in 1966 many texts have already been written and many persons have spent countless hours studying and sharing information to help others understand better what is GOR. One of these persons is known as “Ubar Luther” who wrote a series of papers (most seem to be over 15 to 20 years old, but still very up-to-date in many topics) called the “Luther’s Gorean Educational Scrolls” that were available on Gor-Now.net, but that site has been hacked. Interpretation of the books is widely contested, and Luther's articles are no exception. However, they are an invaluable resource for those new to Gor and so to preserve them I have moved a copy over to our wiki.
