⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
As someone who reads a lot in this field, I can be picky. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Well worth it.
Finally got around to ordering this. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. Shipping was quick too.
This exceeded my expectations. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Five stars from me.
Needed this for my research. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. You can tell why this work has endured. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
Prower delivers a compelling, inclusive anthology that effectively bridges historical queer deities with contemporary magical practice. The inclusion of diverse traditions like Buddhism and Islam adds significant depth, making it a robust resource for modern practitioners. However, readers seeking dry academic historiography or purely Western-centric ceremonial magic may find the blend of theory and spirituality too diffuse. It is not suited for those who prefer rigid, dogmatic structures over the fluid, narrative-driven approach presented here. The practical spells are accessible but require an openness to non-traditional spiritual frameworks. Ultimately, it succeeds as a warm, vital compass rather than a strict technical manual.
