An extraordinary book by a rather well informed writer on matters of spiritual and occult (they are not the same) interest. This book has a powerful description of the experience of meeting "the guardian on the threshold". It is worth it for that alone.
tragic and cautionary tale that weaves a love story, magic, and politics together. A must read for any aspiring magician (IMO). Makes you ponder the price and sacrifice necessary for adepthood.
Real good metaphysical novel, not much into novels but this is a good book for those who can read & see beneath the novel aspect.
a strange yet somehow pleasant experience.
I feel like I should be wearing a ruffly blouse and sipping hot chocolate while I'm curled up in a twilit drawing room while I'm reading it. Why this is, I'm not entirely sure, but it has something to do with the incredibly flowery prose, doubtless.
Interesting, but a little dark...
