Review

"As a writer, Regardie has long been hailed as one of the most coherent proponents of Western magic. His work is refreshingly humble and honest: he is able to convey difficult, abstract concepts with clarity and openness to inquiry. Never one to talk down to readers, he focuses instead on the patient teaching of esoteric knowledge: his warm style coaxes readers toward further investigation. He invites the reader to join him in the journey on the Path of Light. And it was through Regardie s writings that we began our own Rosicrucian adventure." -- Chic and Tabatha Cicero, From the Introduction

"Regardie's mercy and severity have provided me with everlasting love and guidance." -- Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D., author of Undoing Yourself

"Regardie is the last representative of the great occult tradition of the late 19th century." -- Colin Wilson, author of The Outsider

"Without Regardie, the Golden Dawn would have perished in the flames of history." --David Cherubim, the head of the Thelemic Order of the Golden Dawn

Regardie's mercy and severity have provided me with everlasting love and guidance. --Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph.D. author of Radical Undoing
