A groundbreaking new view of the Hermetic traditionNovember 29, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book of stories surrounding noted German Rosicrucian figures is filled with intriguing feats of magick that will fascinate any practicing magician. A broader idea of who these Rosicrucians were than that given by modern commentators may be realized. These old stories may be exaggerated but one may gain an inkling of what is possible for someone who has achieved Rosicrucian adeptship.
A scholarly and accurate textMarch 29, 2000 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am impressed with Schrodter's neutral and history views. I have used this to check other authors views, and historical things regarding some of the concepts and practices. While i must agree with another reviewers thoughts that this was quite dry, i would equate it largely to a Kenneth Starr report. All things considered a valuable book.
Good information - but very very dry!December 10, 1999 7 out of 11 found this review helpful
You can tell this is a translation. There is alot of information, but do not read this book late in the evening, you will fall asleep! The style of the book is dry, the presentation is also very dry. It is not very interesting to read, except that it gives alot of valuable information.
An excellent referenceJuly 25, 1999 10 out of 11 found this review helpful
While Rosicrucians themselves will find little in this book they don't already know, it's an excellent, scholarly approach to the subject of Rosicrucianism. A great many references and pointers toward other texts are included as well as a number of delightful anecdotes which offer insight into the goals of the sincere Rosicrucian student.

If you aren't a rosicrucian student, you should read this book, in order to get some info about the teachings of the Order. If you are a rosicrucian student, just don't read it!, it will not give you any new knowledge!!, it seems to be writen by an amateur with good intentions about the Order and the investigation. In my humble opinion Mr. Willy made a good Job!
