This edition finally does the material justice. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Highly recommend to serious students.
First purchase from this shop. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. A text you study rather than simply read. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Happy enough with the purchase.
I keep coming back to this one. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Great value for what you get.
I keep coming back to this one. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. A text you study rather than simply read. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
This narrative offers a refreshing departure from the dramatic, ritual-heavy accounts typical of the genre. Quigley’s chronicle of an ordinary woman’s journey into mediumship is both intimate and surprisingly humorous, making the subject matter accessible to a broad audience. However, readers seeking detailed technical instructions on how to perform séances or complex metaphysical theories will likely find this work lacking in practical utility. It is not suited for those who prefer structured occult systems or academic analysis of spiritualism. Instead, it shines as a personal testament to the quiet power of unadorned communication with Spirit. While some may find the lack of dramatic flair underwhelming, others will appreciate its honest, grounded approach to psychic phenomena.
