Occult literature desk
Richards offers a compelling dive into levitation’s mysteries, blending history, science, and esoteric practice effectively. The book succeeds in demystifying ancient techniques for modern seekers, making complex metaphysical concepts approachable. However, it may frustrate readers seeking rigorous empirical proof or those skeptical of psychic phenomena entirely. Those looking for purely academic historical analysis might find the practical advice too speculative. Ultimately, it is a fascinating resource for open-minded explorers but less suitable for hardline materialists who dismiss mental influence on physical reality as mere anecdote.
