Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Still worth having on the shelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Still worth having on the shelf.
Was skeptical at first. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Solid, if not essential.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. A text you study rather than simply read. The font runs small in the appendices. Solid, if not essential.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Would buy from this store again.
Geddes-Ward delivers a practical manual rather than a mere collection of tales, making it a valuable resource for serious practitioners. The emphasis on ethical guidelines and reciprocal relationships sets a responsible tone often missing in casual occultism. However, readers seeking purely academic folklore analysis or those uncomfortable with hands-on ritual work may find the prescriptive nature limiting. It is not suited for skeptics or those preferring detached historical study. This book demands active participation and a willingness to engage with subtle energies, making it less appropriate for passive consumers of esoteric content who prefer theoretical discourse over practical application.
