Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Highly recommend to serious students.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Shipping was quick too.
My book club chose this last month. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. One of my better finds this year.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Good, with the caveats above.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
DuQuette delivers a spirited and accessible introduction to the entities of Western Hermeticism, successfully bridging the gap between traditional occult theory and practical use. His ability to render complex subjects into engaging, witty chapters is a significant asset for beginners. However, this book is not suited for advanced scholars seeking dense, peer-reviewed academic analysis or those who prefer strictly dogmatic, unyielding traditionalist approaches without modern interpretation. Readers looking for dry, purely theoretical texts may find the conversational tone too informal. It is best appreciated by those who value clarity and practical application over rigid orthodoxy, making it an excellent primer but perhaps insufficient for deep, specialized research.
