Simply Spiritual

Finally got around to ordering this. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm.

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. A text you study rather than simply read. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. A keeper.

Finally got around to ordering this. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.

Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Great value for what you get.

Exactly what I was looking for. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Solid, if not essential.

Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Five stars from me.

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Recommended if you're ready to do the work.

While Hewlett’s lighthearted style provides a welcoming gateway to spiritualism, it is not for everyone. Readers seeking rigorous academic analysis, detailed historical accounts of séances, or traditional religious doctrine will likely find this text too whimsical and lacking in substance. The reliance on fables and poetry may frustrate those who prefer direct philosophical argumentation or scientific skepticism regarding the spirit world. However, for those open to a poetic interpretation of existence, it succeeds beautifully in its goal of demystifying the afterlife through love and humor rather than awe-inspiring terror.
