interesting book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
i really enjoyed versluis' book. he delves into the history of magic while discussing technique of ritual. he discusses alchemy, astrology, the symbolism of the alter and other aspects of magical practice. he discusses alchemy as the purification of consciousness and awareness. he also mentions the importance of religion as it is tied into magic. he keeps a modern perspective on the subject which i like. my only complaint about the book is the writing style. his sentences are very long and cumbersoome. reminds me of gurdjieff's writing. versluis needs a better, or stronger editor to tell him to cut his sentences in half. a good book nevertheless.
