"The 6th and 7th Books of Moses" - Is that just folklore? Pagan silliness?

I own a Tanakh, and I have access to the other writings.
The site I posted is just silliness then, yes? There are no other books of MOSES besides the "Five Books" [not even hid in an old Synagogue located in "parts unknown"?]. I know Joshua comes after Moses, but Joshua does not equal Moses.
When Moses departs from the Tribes, there are no more adventures for him as a solitary man?

What do you mean 'Moses departs from the Tribes'? At the end of the Torah Moses dies and is buried in the desert by Hashem....
The Torah {5 books} clearly explain what happened to Moses. He blessed Joshua as the leader of the Children of Israel and Hashem takes his soul back....

Deuteronomy 33:1-34:12
1. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, [to the] top of the summit facing Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the Land: The Gilead until Dan,
2. and all [the land of] Naftali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, until the western sea,
3. and the south, and the plain, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, until Zoar.
4. And the Lord said to him, "This is the Land I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your offspring.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there."
5. And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there, in the land of Moab, by the mouth of the Lord.
6. And He buried him in the valley, in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Pe'or. And no person knows the place of his burial, unto this day
7. Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eye had not dimmed, nor had he lost his [natural] freshness.
8. And the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days, and the days of weeping over the mourning for Moses came to an end.
9. And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands upon him. And the children of Israel obeyed him, and they did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10. And there was no other prophet who arose in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11. as manifested by all the signs and wonders, which the Lord had sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and all his servants, and to all his land,
12. and all the strong hand, and all the great awe, which Moses performed before the eyes of all Israel.

Here is information which discusses the book of Iyov, which is attributed to Moses...

--- Quote ---1. Who wrote it?
From chazal (our Sages) z"l, it is clear that the authorship of this book is attributed to Moshe (Moses) Rabbeinu (our teacher). This point is discussed in the tractate Bava Bathra page14b. The Malbim explained that Moshe wrote it to console the Hebrew nation when they were enslaved and suffering under Egyptian oppression.

I have read about it in the standard work "Seelsorge und Okkultismus" written by Kurt E. Koch. The 6 and 7 book of Mose is very spread in lonely and rural areas of northern Germany. It is about witchcraft. As far as I know it is a German invention of the modern age.
Ulli:
Ariel, in the article you linked Agrippa (von Nettesheim) is mentioned. He was a total fraud. I heard about a story that he has always a small black dog at his side. The people said that this dog was the devil. :::D
Superstition^3 :::D :::D :::D

I have no idea why I thought Moses split company with the rest of the 12 tribes. Yikes. Embarrassing, I suppose. - Thank you for setting me straight. :)
