Title: Parts Fabricated
Review: It's a very interesting book and a good first attempt at the subject matter. Unfortunately some of the material presented is simply fabricated (eg: the initiation ceremony) and has nothing to do with reality. As such I floccipend the book as a whole, as one cannot trust other parts of the book either, thus rendering it pretty worthless. A pity as the subject deserves more attention and investigation.Other books I liked much more areThe Syrian Goddess: De Dea SyriaandThe Life of Apollonius of Tyana.
