5.0 out of 5 stars A highly recommendable book for the occult student!, August 17, 1999

By	P. M. Jacobsen "Odinsruner" (Birkerød, Denmark, Scandinavia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brother of the Third Degree (Paperback)

To read this book is similar to undergoing an initiation experience oneself. The book is very well-written, and it is hard to lay it down before reading it all the way through. Personally this book has had a profound influence on my life; I can only recommend it to the highest degree. If you are ready to get a push forward on the initiatory path, this book can do it for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the hidden literary treasures of the ages, May 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Brother of the Third Degree (Paperback)

Anyone on any path whatsoever needs to read this book. It's a tale of dedication and love, written with a fervor and passionseldom accomplished. Mystical, enlightening, challenging, thrilling, and overall a non stopbarn burner about love and service of the highest degree.I feel blessed to have been given it by a total stranger, and was so glad to find Amazon had it, (I couldn't find it anywhere) have since given copies to others, whose words I also echo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light as a feather, serious as stone., December 31, 2002

By	Ancient Hollow "jackraven69" (Beaumont, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Brother of the Third Degree (Paperback)

This book is an occult masterpiece, with deep esoteric meaning. It describes in detail how the mystery priesthoods did and still do function. Of course, a few things are "beefed up" magickally, much as Hollywood uses blue lightning effects when a wizard casts a spell. However, this book is a guide and a reminder to all practitioners of the occult sciences of where we came from, and where we're going, especially in our modern age where blindfolding an initiate is considered "terror". Recommended for advanced occult practitioners, only insomuch as that the information can be fully digested and understood by the more well-versed reader. For younger students, read it by all means, but don't forget to pick it up again twenty years from now, because it will unlock an entire new vista to the more experienced mind, which might better recognize the symbology found within.
