3.0 out of 5 stars Good for historical purposes, Jun 4 2001

This review is from: The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy (Paperback)

This book provided much Magickal information to our anscestors. It included much information from various tombs that were otherwise unavailable to the masses. For the student of Magickal History, the book is a necessity. To the practitioner of Magick today, the original tombs have become readily available, consequently reducing The Magus to a curiosity. It is better illustrated than many of the other tombs, however, so it is nice in that respect. I still thumb through its pages every so often.

1.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful work of plagarism, April 19 2001

This review is from: The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy (Paperback)

Francis Barrett plagarized 100% of this book from Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy, so there is some good information present, but none of it is original. (well, maybe some of the interesting illustrations) So if you're interested in the full story, seek out Agrippa (though do not buy Kessinger's version. For some reason they only include the first book, but still call it "Three Books of Occult Philosophy". Buy Llewellyn's--it's a beautiful production.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Puts your reason to the test...interesting and challenging, Oct 31 2000

By

"arfca" (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy (Paperback)

This book is chock full of interesting takes on the Bible and God as well as practical ways for affecting reality through spiritually charged knoweldge and their items. Barrett like Esuebius pulls together a lot of older information that, again, puts one in a p[osition to better consider reality and your p[lace in it with God. A must read for seekers, intelligencers, and psychonauts; or just someone normal who wants to change their mind.
