Lorelei Sage, Contemplative Literature Editor — Wollheim's 'Saknarth' is a profound exploration of astrological mysticism through the lens of science fiction. The author masterfully presents Martian astrologers not as aliens, but as custodians of ancient cosmic truths, their practices deeply interwoven with the celestial dance. These stories offer a unique perspective on divination and the hidden energies that govern existence, resonating with practitioners of esoteric arts and seekers of deeper meaning. 'Saknarth' excels in its evocative atmosphere and its ability to spark contemplation on our place in the universe. Highly recommended for those who appreciate intellectual depth and spiritual inquiry within imaginative narratives.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use.
Honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm impressed. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected.
Needed this for my research. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. Every rereading turns up something I missed. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. A keeper.
