Potser la pitjor merda que m'he llegit. Puc contar els parà grafs on no volia llegir en diagonal amb els dits d'una mÃ

An excellent review of occult practices for the neophyte and the adept. Gareth Knight also presents a very important connection between occultism and religion, bringing light to both ways of approaching one's own development. By doing this, he fills the aim of explaining that faith and knowledge not only may walk along, but it's actually a necessary perspective. This is a really must-have, in spite of being a basic reading. Recommended.
