Planetary Magick: Invoking and Directing the Powers of the Planets

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. The font runs small in the appendices. Good, with the caveats above.

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Long-time student of the esoteric here. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Well worth it.

As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A keeper.

Denning’s volume serves as a comprehensive manual for those dedicated to planetary invocation, offering a robust framework that integrates astrological, alchemical, and Qabalistic correspondences. The text excels in providing clear, actionable rituals that demystify complex esoteric concepts, making them accessible for practical application. However, this book does not suit readers seeking purely theoretical astrology or those uncomfortable with ceremonial magic’s structured, ritualistic nature. It may also disappoint individuals looking for brief, simplified advice rather than detailed meditative frameworks. While the depth is commendable for serious students of the occult, casual enthusiasts might find the density of correspondences overwhelming. Ultimately, it is a vital resource for dedicated practitioners ready to engage deeply with celestial powers.
