This exceeded my expectations. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A keeper.
Exactly what I was looking for. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Still worth having on the shelf.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. It connects ideas I'd only seen treated separately elsewhere. Well worth it.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Happy enough with the purchase.
Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. A text you study rather than simply read. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Five stars from me.
