"Of all the grimoire texts I've purchased, this one seems to
be the most viscerally and palpably magickal. I can feel the whole books
pulsating with its living current, and I am most inspired by its talismanic
power. Thank you for creating such a precious, welcome, and imposing treasure.
This is clearly a book of great power."
"Yours is an important book, and clearly a work of love. The perfumed
rosepetals that adorned that talismanic package are now resting in a white
bowl on my altar"
"I have nearly finished my reading of The Red Goddess. I must say
it
is was an absolutely wonderful volume! If you can imagine: there i
was, sitting in the middle of a field, unwrapping this beautiful
talisman, the scent of rose and spikenard (i think) saturating my aura
with a glorious and sumptuous bliss. Oh, if only all gifts (and i am
strongly aware that such a book is a gift, even though it was i who
purchased it) were so wonderfully presented. The wax seal and rose
petals are now permanent additions to my altar.
And the text;
well-researched, amusing, insightful, witty and
sarcastic in turns, but always with its face turned to Her. The
playful and careful subtextualising is marvellous. Her veils are drawn
back, one by one, a striptease indeed! Until finally, we are teased
with the barest glimpses of the powerhouse of the author's magick; but
those glimpses are more than sufficient.
And it is always
so visual! In truth, it is rather more about what
Peter's writing made me *see* than it made me *think*: to ignite the
Vision is a rare thing in a book. And that in itself it makes it
impossibly hard for me to write the review i intended to write here. I
will have to settle with what i have managed to wring from the stone
here.
It is a great
thing that all these ideas have been collected together
into one volume and presented to the world. Therefore: Bravo. I seethe
with envy and admiration "
"The book arrived perfectly preserved today and all I can say is
Wow. You've done a fantastic job. For once, this is a magickal text I
can't wait to read through - most we get sent I go, oh that looks interesting,
set it to one side and dip into it on occasion. This is a book which will
be read, most likely reread and certainly treasured."
"You've done a fantastic job and should be well pleased."
"Wow what a book. So far I have just skimmed the text, but it is
clearly a highly important book and beautifully produced."
"Believe it or not, I got as far as to clear a space for it (un-opened,
with wax seal still intact) on my altar to await the proper moment to
open it. I am in the midst of a project onslaught at the moment, and have
actually dreamt about this book already, several times. To me, this is
more than just a book, it's part of turning a new page in my life, in
a way. I want to open it when I am cleared of my distractions, and the
moment will arrive this weekend! I even took a photograph of the lovely
seal on the packaging. So exquisite. "
"The Book is absolutely exquisite. Many Thanks. Due to
my ranting a number of my friends have expressed great interest in reading
The Red Goddess, which I fundamentally refuse to lend out. "
"Seven stars out of seven!
Well, what a fabulous book!
Very, very lovely. Expertly written with lots of delightfully juicy turns
of phrase. A real star turn."
Our heartfelt thanks.
