4.0 out of 5 stars
Please don't mind that other guys review,
By
This review is from: The Truth About Psychic Powers (Paperback)
Ya see that guy doesn't know what he's talking about, actualy I'm guessing he was very drunk when he wrote it. Maybe he thinks he's funny?
I have not yet read the whole pamphlet (just the part online) so In all fairness I could only give it 4 stars but I can tell you from reading DM Kraigs other much larger book Modern Magick, that he is not only very knowledgable on the topic but has been practicing magick for a long time. While there is something to him holding to the Judeo-Christian he's not about a primitive faith. DM Kraig is a favorite among Ceramonialist and Pagans alike. For the ceremonialists like himself he's up there with Isreal Regardie and Aleister Crowley. Believe me, the guy knows what he is talking about. To say he mixes up his symbolism and can't use common sense is like saying Einsteins' Theroy of Relitivity is flawed and therefore usless because because he didn't know his trig formulas. Kinda silly. At the price it's perfect. For what I did read it's very good advice to anyone who is looking for a psycic reading and how to avoid frauds and cold readers. Some is common sense, some is common sense if you know anything psycic stuff already. Hey, at the time I'm writing this it's on clearince for 1 cent! If you are seeking a psycic, by all means, get it!

1.0 out of 5 stars
deluded Hierophant tries honestly to warn us from Fraud,
By Pietroschek "nephandi" (Essen) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Truth About Psychic Powers (Paperback)
First, this book is clear written and holds most basics about frauds/deceivers misusing the esoterics. Sadly Mr. Kraig forgot that before Daath no relevant book can be written and when being M.T. or Magus, there is no more need to write books. The road to hell is full of good intentions, so is this book, but Mr. Kraig forgot that it is the "infernalist" who learned to survive there. Black Magick, white magick, a beginners dabbling, hypocricy. The mere fact that he operates from a primitive "faith" in magick displays that he does not have checked it's symbolism and got trapped in fallacies. The fact that there are frauds is for sure, but the chapters deal with the oldfashioned and superstitious view of the crafts. And sadly, this booklet is thin, short files on each topic only. Sad, I wished you were better. Anyway, for that price it's fun! oh, guys like Crowley said "study the stars" does that mean astrology? No, he also mentioned that "everyone of us is a star" so that psychology and other personal studies of fellow humans would be much closer. Strong Faith does not compensate lack of wits, neither does it make your wishes come true or make your fears go away. Especially, because faith is a christian principle, which magick most certainly isn't.
