Reviews

Potser la pitjor merda que m'he llegit. Puc contar els paràgrafs on no volia llegir en diagonal amb els dits d'una mà

[Felipe]

An excellent review of occult practices for the neophyte and the adept. Gareth Knight also presents a very important connection between occultism and religion, bringing light to both ways of approaching one's own development. By doing this, he fills the aim of explaining that faith and knowledge not only may walk along, but it's actually a necessary perspective. This is a really must-have, in spite of being a basic reading. Recommended.
