⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
This exceeded my expectations. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Solid, if not essential.
Needed this for my research. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.
I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Exactly what I was looking for. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. A keeper.
Riva’s 'Secrets of Magical Seals' offers a refreshing, streamlined approach to traditional talismanic magic, making it highly accessible for newcomers. The emphasis on simplified, potent seals addresses a genuine gap in the market for practical, no-nonsense occult guides. However, this book does not suit advanced practitioners seeking deep theoretical frameworks or complex ceremonial structures. Those who prefer rigorous academic study of esoteric history may find the text too superficial. It is best viewed as a functional toolkit rather than a scholarly treatise. While it successfully democratizes magical practice for the modern age, it lacks the depth required for serious researchers or those disillusioned by oversimplification.
