anthroxagorus's review
5.0
Fascinating, historical. I eventually skipped chapters to get into the practical aspect of the book (got a bit dry for awhile). I think the advice is still solid, but I'm certainly not invoking Christ (as suggested) and I don't consider fortune-telling a "slur."
The material is highly practical - first rule out anything psychical and then be sure your patient is not lying. Then, to know most physic attacks are unintentional but nevertheless there. Ill well begets ill deed. There's discussion on psychic vampirism (still modern!) and thought-forms/shadow work.
Highly recommend, but take it with a grain of salt.

This was an interesting read. There were a few good nuggets of information scattered throughout the text in the form of anecdotes from the author's life experiences and examples of rituals and the like. HOWEVER (and this is a big however) there is a lot of racist and misogynistic bullcrap to wade through to get to those useful bits. Examples include (but are not limited to) saying that new initiates that claim to have been assaulted or harassed by higher level men are making it up or exaggerating because these powerful men have a strong magnetism because of their power and can't help influencing others. Another particular example that comes to mind is in the last chapter where the author mentions that pretty much everyone who studies the Qabbalah is a gentile and Jewish people do not understand it or it's mysticism.
TLDR: It's not worth wading through the crap to find the good bits. I'm sure there are other books out there that have a better crap-to-useful-info ratio.
