⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This book presents a compelling synthesis of Hermetic philosophy and musical theory, aiming to reveal the underlying laws of existence through sound. While it successfully outlines the seven principles and their potential application to composition, readers seeking rigorous academic musicology or historical data on ancient Egypt may find it lacking in depth. It is best suited for those already familiar with basic esoteric concepts who wish to explore their sonic applications. The approach is more philosophical than technical, which might disappoint practitioners looking for specific sound frequencies or detailed historical citations. Ultimately, it serves as an inspirational guide rather than a definitive manual for serious scholars of music history.
