Summary

Magic, the occult, the mystical - is there anything behind those words? If there is, is it anything beyond horror-movie cliches? People the world over have always known and interacted with these hidden forces. But in our culture, there are very few ways to sort out truth from nonsense.

In this book, Richard Smoley, an expert on the occult, delves into the world of mind power, magic, suggestion, and the realms of the unseen. He speaks simply and clearly, in common-sense terms, about these mysterious forces, how they can work for you, and what you need to avoid. This trip through unseen worlds could be most exciting adventure of your life, and possibly the most important, as you learn about: meditation; the colors of magic; the life force; the astral light; thought power; prophecy; psychic powers; astrology; the Tarot; ghosts, angels, and spirits; life after death; evil; witchcraft and Satanism; Atlantis and lost civilizations; the Last Judgment; the Kingdom of God; healing; reincarnation; the Brotherhood; psychedelics; and spirituality.

Oddly compelling vague ramblings

I often listen to audiobooks to help with insomnia. Robert’s tone and delivery are calm and relaxing. The content however is disconnected, veers off in tangents and is very superficial. It’s basically an interesting bloke chatting. Lots of hints at deeper insight that are not followed up. It jumps around between different traditions or historical periods with no real structure or purpose. It ends very abruptly!

However it was strangely engaging and entertaining.

Does it provide The Truth About Magic? Not even close, if you’re seeking insight into the occult and magic look elsewhere.
