Useful information and wonderful analyses,
By
This review is from: Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (Paperback)
This book provides invaluable background information for any occult study. The author, and this book in particular, is widely known and referenced. I found the in-depth and complex analysis of the symbology of the fleur-de-lis particularly interesting and thorough.

Unnecessarily Wordy,
By
This review is from: Rosicrucians: Their Rites and Mysteries (Paperback)
Lovely WORDS, strung together impressively, but devoid of meaning. Occasional meaningful communication, but very restricted. Unless you're a dedicated student in this area, avoid it!
