Great Reference

Audio is the absolute best format for this book! I loved the lore of each time period.

Great timeline and explanation

The book is very thorough, provides great contextual comprehension. I would recommend this book to a serious practitioner

Great Overview of Ocultism

if you have an interest in the history of alternative thought, this is for you. Unbiased, this narration guides you as an outside observer through a high-level overview of thoughts and teachings from obscure mythologies.

Great Book from a Historical Point of view

The narrator was not my favorite but it's still easy to listen to. Takes a historical approach and mentions some things that are found in his book on secret societies. Overall great no for understanding where the occult knowledge we have today originates from.

Great Overview

A great launching pad for anyone beginning a study in the history of Western Occultism.
