A friend in my study group recommended this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. One of my better finds this year.
Grabbed this during a weekend order. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Happy enough with the purchase.
Long-time student of the esoteric here. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. A few pages arrived with light corner wear, though nothing serious.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Highly recommend to serious students.
My book club chose this last month. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Recommended with reservations.
