Reviews

“Mysteries of the Bridechamber contributes an astonishing wealth of lore to the discourse surrounding the original teachings of Jesus. Centered in the ancient and universal esoteric rites of hieros gamos, these teachings illuminate the ‘Way’ of harmonious reconciliation of head and heart, reason and compassion, Logos and Sophia.”
*Margaret Starbird, author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar and Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile*

"It is no less than a complete manual of metaphysical knowledge and science, all in one marvelous volume."
*Jennifer Hoskins, New Dawn, Mar/Apr 2008*

" . . . assuming the reader is possessed of an open mind, the potential exists for opening vast new perspectives--some of which will seem blindingly obvious in hindsight and some of which will creep up on the reader. . . . There is much of value [here] and much of it is accessible with only a modicum of effort."
*Michael Gleason, Witchgrove.com, May 2008*
