5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Thorough Research.,
By Queen of Cups (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Occult Sciences: A Compendium of Transcendental Doctrine and Experiment (Paperback)
Waite does an excellent job of breaking the subject of occult and/or magic into digestible bite size pieces that can be understood by anyone attempting to learn more about this subject as it was originally taught. Well organized and readable.
