Long-time student of the esoteric here. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Good, with the caveats above.
Added this to my reference shelf. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. One of my better finds this year.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. 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.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. Some sections stopped me cold in the best way.
