literally the only redeeming quality is the title. it might have been an interesting read in it's day. but from a modern perspective it just rehashes all the the worst superficial and self-serving ideals of the new age movement with none of the sincerity or self-reflection of the corpus hermetica.

It's the "Art of War" of occult books.

Pseuds get filtered by it's apparent simplicity and have no idea how to actually apply the concepts. It's not perfect, but anyone with the necessary foreknowledge can make very good use of it..

The better question is what is your beef with any perceived "self help" readings? You said it first, as the first post in the thread no less, so maybe explain why you even feel that way.

Hermetic fanfiction. It's "neat" if you know nothing but you will probably never cite it for philosophical value and definitely never for magic or spiritual value
