Title: Wouldn't expect anything less from Taschen
Review: This is an awesome book for those interested in visual representations of gnostic, qabbalistic, masonic and rosicrucian mystic philosophy. Well written and thoroughly explained, this book is an excellent visual aide for people who like to study the development of hermetic philosophy throughout the centuries. Would've liked for some more 20th century content. It might not appeal to someone who is new to the subject, since even the essays make quite obscure references. Its content is beautifully reproduced (wouldn't expect anything less from a Taschen book) and even it's highly symbolic, metaphoric and allegorical, it's a must for neo-gnostic studies of the school of Samael Aun Weor. I used to own the 700+ page book with the same title by the same author, but it was misplaced. I don't remember the other book having so much text explaining everything, then again, I didn't mind the essays or explanations in this one at all.
