A Fascinating Study
This is the first study of Hermetic philosophy I have read. As such, I cannot say whether there are better books out there, or if this is a poor representation, or whatnot. I have no comparison. However, I was absolutely blown away by this and it amused me to no end that I have heard all of these principles before expressed in different ways. All religions pull from these principles as a source for their own religious teachings and skew them. I would recommend this to any student of the occult, philosophy, or religion. -
There are points in this book I agree with but there are other points that speak to its age and gender binary assumptions that are very problematic despite its attempt to contextualize gender “scientifically”. I can see how much of the early 1960-1990 occult philosophies seem to draw from this text.
I’m glad I read it. There are bits of it I will come back to as source of historical contemplation. But most of it will stay firmly on the shelf with regards to my practice. -
This is my study guide at this time during meditation.
