A most complete discussion of Hermetic theory & practice! July 10, 1998
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Mary Anne Atwood's, 'A Suggestive Inquiry Into Hermetic Mystery' is the only text any Sincere, Earnest, and Intelligent aspirant to Adeptship in Hermetic Theory and Practice needs! Granted, it conceals as much as it reveals, but that is par for the course. Read and re-read the excellent introduction by Mr. Wilmhurst, it is a gem. Do the same with the 'Table-talk' included as an appendix. Then and only then should you proceed to the very recondite text. Ms. Atwood is a most able guide through the intricate labyrinth that is Hermeticism.

This book is my first introduction into the world of the Hermetic practice. The book is like reading a 560 page riddle, otherwise it does seem to touch base on a little of everything pertaining to Hermetics. If you can read between the lines and start to grasp what she is saying then you should be able to start on the journey of Hermaticism.

The scope of this text is stunning! From ancient mythology thru middle-ages and into modern times, Ms. Atwood has recapitulated and amalgamated the most lofty and intelligent book on metaphysics in english, possibly of all time. It will require MANY readings, over MANY years as the abstruse idea unfolds and develops within your mind/spirit. Pearls are NOT delivered unto swine, but priceless gems of wisdom ARE delivered unto the respectful pupil by this VERY wonderful book. Logodox, FRC >9th 33YR, PaxNous.
