Very interesting but extremely challenging to read. Some paragraphs have more Tibetan than English, and the Tibetan is impossible to read because it's transliterated the written way rather than to reflect how it's spoken.

Inordinately fascinating. The phrase 子不语, that of which the Master would not speak, keeps coming to mind. Most books barely acknowledge the existence of spirit mediumship, vaguely glossing over the notion if they mention it at all. It feels almost like Bellezza is breaking a taboo by actually exploring the history and practice of something so otherwise secret (or shunned).
