About the author
Paschal Beverly Randolph
39 books40 followersPaschal Beverly Randolph was a medical doctor and occultist, notable as perhaps the first person to introduce the principles of sex magic to North America, and, according to A.E. Waite, establishing the earliest known Rosicrucian order in the United States.
Randolph died at the age of 49, under disputed circumstances. According to Professor Carl Edwin Lindgren, D.Ed., many questioned the coroner's finding that Randolph died in Toledo from a self-inflicted wound to the head, for many of his writings express his aversion to suicide. The evidence was conflicting. R. Swinburne Clymer, a later Supreme Master of the Fraternitas, stressed that years later in a death-bed confession, a former friend of Randolph conceded that in a state of jealousy and temporary insanity, he had killed Randolph. Randolph was succeeded as Supreme Grand Master of the Fraternitas, and in other titles, by his chosen successor Freeman B. Dowd.
In 1996, the biography Paschal Beverly Randolph: A Nineteenth-Century Black American Spiritualist, Rosicrucian, and Sex Magician by John Patrick Deveney and Franklin Rosemont was published.

This book seems to be a very long run on rant rather than anything meaningful. I’ve never seen an author write so much yet saying so little. This book could have been easily reduced to a few pages.
I also found the font choice for the entire book difficult to read and over all a poor choice.
There are better books out there on similar topics. Instead of this book I would recommend hunting down a book titled “Crystal Gazing” by Northcote W. Thomas.

I greatly enjoyed this book from a historical perspective and as an introduction into esoteric, spiritual, and mystical knowledge. This was my first book on such topics, and I'd highly recommend it to others for the same purposes, given a few considerations:
Dr. Paschal B. Randolph does not present a "101 How-to" guide for obtaining divine power, and anyone searching for such a guide is the type of "charlatan" whom Dr. Randolph decries in his text. There are some tips, tricks, and foundational knowledge supplied herein, but the main theme of this book is, firstly, to identify one's own unique power, and, secondly, to focus and hone that power.
The second half of the text is largely devoted to quotation, much of which is left unreferenced. This is the only reason I gave 4/5 instead of 5/5. And however trite this may initially seem, these quotations provide historical significance to Dr. Randolph's knowledge, and they supply many interesting rabbit holes for the curious reader to explore.
As I read this book, I became intimately familiar with Dr. Randolph and his personality, almost as if we became friends. Many times while reading, I imagined him sitting beside me, almost as if he were instructing me himself. I felt that we could actively engage in meaningful dialectics, and I look forward to reading more works from Dr. Randolph.
