Negative Positive
Title: Not Much
Review: This book, in my opinion, does not have a lot to offer. Essentially it is an alleged 1655 edition of the Heptameron with detailed commentary on how to perform the ceremony.The chapters that come before contain a ridiculously stupid version of history leading up to the present time (which isn't surprising since most occult books have a ludicrous view of history); passioned and arrogant statements about how "Modern Era Magick" supposedly doesn't work because of the hippie mentality; lists of "axioms" the author deems to be true; the constant warning that the practitioner of magic needs to do everything EXACTLY as it appears in a magic grimore or it will fail/make the practioner sorry.Although some points Lisiewski points out I agree with, especially how lax modern practioners have become, there is so much other baggage in this book that it is difficult for me to recommend.
Is the review positive or negative?
