Reviews

[Brendan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great collection of writings on magick. Mainly following threads of Thelema, satanism and TOPY, these essays (with a story or two thrown in for good measure) are engaging and informative. Incan’t wait to dig into more issues of this.

[Drew · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book provides an interesting snapshot of Occulture during the late 1980s to early 90s. A lot of the people found within this text works would prefigure the Disinfo scene of the late 90s. Much of the material felt very dated though and did not provide me with much food for thought.

There are some articles and essays I enjoyed more than others. The first two issues have some jewels, but I think the best content is in vol. 3, especially "Lucifer-Hiram" and "Pythagoras, Plato and The Hellenes"

I'm looking forward reading other issues
