⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Morgan’s revised edition offers a meticulous reconstruction of Seth’s legacy, appealing to those seeking to bypass standard demonizing narratives for authentic cult practices. The work succeeds in detailing the historical trajectory of vilification, providing a robust framework for understanding this primordial force. However, it does not suit readers who prefer established, uncritical syntheses of Egyptian mythology or those resistant to revising long-held theological assumptions about Seth’s role. It is not a casual introduction but a focused esoteric study requiring patience with complex symbolic analysis. Those seeking straightforward mythological summaries may find the dense exploration of obscured power and primordial contexts too specialized. Ultimately, it is a vital resource for serious occultists ready to confront the 'hidden god' within the intricate tapestry of Egyptian magick, rather than a general audience guide.
