⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Grossman successfully demystifies the arcane for the modern creator, offering a refreshing blend of biography and practical advice. However, this book does not suit readers seeking rigorous academic analysis or historical precision; it is a devotional guide, not a scholarly text. Those looking for hard esoteric theory may find the approach too accessible or light on detailed ritual mechanics. It also may disappoint those who prefer purely psychological explanations for creativity over mystical ones. Nevertheless, for its intended audience—spiritual artists—it provides a warm, inviting entry point into the world of enchantment. The connection between figures like Bowie and af Klint serves as engaging inspiration rather than deep critique, making it a delightful but somewhat superficial companion for serious occultists.
