Reader rating
Sankey and Anderson provide a comprehensive, accessible entry point into lunar magic, making complex esoteric concepts digestible for the general audience. The inclusion of 120 exercises ensures variety and sustained engagement. However, seasoned occultists may find the content somewhat superficial, lacking the dense theoretical underpinnings or rigorous historical analysis found in more academic texts. It is not suited for those seeking purely scholarly critique or advanced ceremonial complexity. Instead, it serves as a practical workbook rather than a deep philosophical treatise. Readers looking for straightforward, magical application without heavy metaphysical jargon will enjoy its empowering tone and clear instructions.
