[Shaun Phelps · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a delightful opportunity to read the decline of the great generation of the Golden Dawn. It almost feels gossipy, peeking at letters from Yeats, Farr, Mathers, and Wescott as they come to terms with lies and deceit yet grapple with absolute respect and acknowledgment at their personal growth. And then Crowley is in the background, duplicitous and tantrummy. And even at the end they treat (in this booklet) Crowley with respect instead of spite, recognizing, I suppose, the overall value Crowley added to the movement after helping destroy the movement.
