I've only started this book, and skipped around in it. But, now that I'm into my II* work, I'm finding it pertinent and very timely in it's subject matter.
An excellent resource for those wishing to work with planetary energies. I combined certain procedures defined in this book with certain procedures defined in Seven Spheres by Rufus Ofus to great effect.
What is this book exactly? is this a book that is intended to teach others how to astral project? or is this a book written in the form of a memoir of the author's experiences in mysticism? I believe it is the latter of the two. This book does not flow at all in it's chapters, the sentence structure is awful and the subjects are blurred and confusing. Not a book I'd recommend.
I like this a lot. It explains a lot of the basics and philosophy of Magic. The Magical Order of which I'm a part takes a lot of inspiration from these books.
