Long-time student of the esoteric here. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Recommended with reservations.
Exactly what I was looking for. You can tell why this work has endured. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. A keeper.
Exactly what I was looking for. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Happy enough with the purchase.
This has been on my wishlist for months. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious. Solid, if not essential.
