A proper new analysis of Cagliostro September 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book is a real triumph. It does not hide its authors' passion for the subject - Cagliostro and his ritual. However, it is not a biased effort: it is wonderfully transparent and well-referenced, and enables the reader to make up his or her mind.
Personally, I consider this to be first and foremost a biography. It is a fascinating tale worthy of the best of fiction; and it is beautifully written. The language is involving and the authors' enthusiasm and expertise, as well as thoroughness, constantly shine through.
It was about time that this subject was brought up to date, and I am pleased that it has been done so in such a high calibre fashion. This book eclipses the earlier monograph by Trowbridge. Buy it, and read it.
The Masonic Magician Wonder September 15, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
As a non mason I found this book facinating. A masonic ritual designed to summon angels and to take control of the mystical powers of the planets. I think i may go to the Grand lodge of scotland to see the orignial manuscript of the ritual.
