⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Farber provides a structured approach to cannabis in magick, appealing to those interested in practical application over theoretical debate. However, this book does not suit skeptics of botanical spirituality or readers who prefer strictly textual, non-empirical occult studies. It also excludes those unwilling to engage with the physical act of consumption as part of their ritual framework. While comprehensive in its techniques for invocation and meditation, it assumes a pre-existing comfort with psychoactive substances. Readers seeking purely academic history without practical guidance may find the tone too instructional rather than observational.
