Extremely difficult to comprehend, it comes across as convulated ravings. If he was trying to make his knowledge an unsolvable puzzle to the "vulgar," as he likes to call the supposed uninitiated, then he succeeded. As with many of these old school occultists, Levi comes off as narcissistic and misogynistic.

This book is definitely worth reading, I want to make that clear. It’s a key primer to occult philosophy and especially good at capturing the thought of 19th century occultists. That said it is very clearly a product of its era and is a lot more explicitly Christian than many other occult texts. Not bad but definitely dated.
