⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Recommended with reservations.
Added this to my reference shelf. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. The font runs small in the appendices. Good, with the caveats above.
Was skeptical at first. Every rereading turns up something I missed. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. Highly recommend to serious students.
Simon successfully demystifies a notoriously complex text by imposing a rigorous astrological framework upon it. The book serves as both a historical survey and a practical manual, appealing to practitioners who value precision over mystification. However, this approach will likely frustrate readers seeking pure mythological storytelling or unstructured spiritual wandering. Those uncomfortable with technical planetary mapping or the concept of 'astral mechanics' may find the content too dry and analytical. It is strictly for those willing to trade ambiguity for actionable steps in their magical practice.
