Grabbed this during a weekend order. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Still worth having on the shelf.
This has been on my wishlist for months. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Will be gifting a copy to a friend.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A keeper.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Shipping was quick too.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Happy enough with the purchase.
Graves successfully strips away the pretension often surrounding dowsing, presenting it as a disciplined skill rather than an exclusive gift. The emphasis on tool-making and consistent practice grounds the esoteric in the tangible, which is refreshing for skeptics within the community. However, this book may not suit readers seeking elaborate ritualistic frameworks or those who view divination solely through a purely psychological lens without any metaphysical component. It is best for pragmatic practitioners willing to engage in repetitive physical exercises. Those expecting quick psychic leaps without tactile effort might find the manual nature tedious, but for dedicated students of subtle energies, it serves as an essential, no-nonsense foundation.
