After I learn that this gem of magical literature of the 20s of the 20th Jhds. should seem new again, I've been waiting in anticipation to receiving the book.
And it does not disappoint: The first thing one sees on a high-quality paperback book with a previously unpublished image of Gregory under the title. Otherwise meets the quality of printing, paper, etc. what is one of Esoteric Publishing usual.
good read, one swings right into the first of nine lectures. These include:
karma and astrology.
The Astral Plane and their importance for the Practical Magic.
The Trinity and the analogy of the old law of science.
The symbolism of the Tau and the pentagram.
The symbolism of the higher planes of existence.
symbolism and magic.
horoscope and human psyche.
religion as a secret love.
The awakening of the myth in the new age.
One should note that these papers were presented in the 20s/30s in the forecourt of the Fraternity of Saturn in Berlin.
Accordingly, they also read. The language is sometimes a bit dated and hard to, to stay on topic, especially in the theoretical lessons to be represented.
When, however, has been read only once, you realize the deep knowledge and even then the research spirit of the early animated FS. Although some may be outdated today, perhaps, so there are probably mediated lessons still the basic knowledge of any Western magician who takes his subject seriously.
