Seven Hermetic Letters is a welcome new addition to our repertory of books especially as far as preliminary and meaningful exercises are concerned. It will also be a welcome addition for the serious minded student of Hermetics, because the path to perfection will be considerably smoother and progress will be accelerated considerably.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good book one should read before the Bardon series, July 31, 2000

This review is from: Seven Hermetic Letters : Letters for the Development of the Secret Powers of the Soul (Paperback)

This book is an introduction to Magickal thought and a few Magickal practices which is intended to be used before practicing the Bardon series. I got some stuff out of this, such as various tips on how to lose one's interest in the physical life and physical body to focus on their spiritual one; Their soul. It also talks about how the eye is a tool to send messages, and how dreams can contain symbols as to what needs to be corrected. It's an interesting read, with more info to be comtemplated than one finds in the Bardon books, which are more designed towards practice and less about philosophy. Still, there is much to be practiced in this book and you won't be disappointed if you get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Relevant Regimen for Those who seek Mastery of Self, February 6, 2003

This review is from: Seven Hermetic Letters : Letters for the Development of the Secret Powers of the Soul (Paperback)

This book sets forth an excellent regimen for training the mind and body for spiritual work. It stands alone and needs no follow-up. Well translated, the book flows well and reads well. For those who are serious about increasing their potential mastery I believe this to be a fine book. The step by step course is simple to understand ( however rigorous and demanding). If there is someone contemplating true psychic development and training, this is a very good read in so much as you will gain a quick idea as to the amount of hard work and dedication this type of undertaking requires. The typeset is comfortable and easy on the eyes. I think this is a true treasure and should be a welcome addition to any esoteric library. If followed with rigorous dedication this book will change anyones' life!

2.0 out of 5 stars Forget this precurser, November 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Seven Hermetic Letters : Letters for the Development of the Secret Powers of the Soul (Paperback)

Although the philosophical side of this book is okay, the practices are not. Lomer suggests you to get your palm and handwriting analyzed, gather peas, sit still (without blinking), and many other seemingly pointless tasks. I suggest that you begin with Initiation Into Hermetics without this.
