[Royal Blue Sicarii · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book was ok. Péladan explains that to be a Mage, one must be isolated from 19th Century Nightlife, alcohol and sex. Personally for a book that explains being isolated will do the trick, there’s a whole lot written about 19th Century French Politics. Some of his complaints are relevant to the problems of today but for the most part, I can’t really see how this is in any relation to being a Mage. Also, I’m not too fond of Péladan’s views of women, very misogynistic (which is not much of a surprise for the 19th century). I did enjoy his breakdown that the truest of Mages are those of the arts (painters, musicians, sculptors, etc...) and if Beethoven would’ve played in a church, it would be a packed house in spiritual unison. All and all, don’t expect much lessons about becoming enlightened or a Mage. The only thing that’s truly worth the read in this book are The Golden Verses of Pythagoras which can be found on www.sacred-texts.com

Excellent references and ideas, I was using and having a lot of his experiences in a modern sense. He is so timely and easy to move to this date and time. Quite interesting.
