I keep coming back to this one. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Would buy from this store again.
Finally got around to ordering this. A text you study rather than simply read. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Highly recommend to serious students.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Recommended with reservations.
This has been on my wishlist for months. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. One of my better finds this year.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Good, with the caveats above.
