I ordered this with no real expectations. I didn't know it was based on the tarot trumps, as it wasn't indicated in the description. Turns out that it's one of the best esoteric works I've read. Not as lengthy as Tomberg's 'Meditations', but in quality it ranks with it imo, and I consider 'Meditations' one of the best spiritual books I've read.This book will hold an esteemed place on the top shelf and will be one I'll likely refer to again. It's well above my paygrade, though what I was able to foggily glean from it synched & applied directly to what I needed to hear when I read it, on repeated occasions; and for this I am very thankful.I'll nitpick in spots with the certitude of some concepts and claims which seem to me extreme or unverifiable, but sprinkled in so slightly, which, at worst prove merely superfluous without detracting from the main themes. The quality and strength of writing shine through any criticism through a sheer sense of authority.Not light reading, but well written for the complex and serious subject matter explored and expressed. I'd like to thank the seller for the translation, and am grateful to them for making this work available in English.
