'The reader turning to this book for knowledge and self-knowledge
will be delighted to find it so instructive, enjoyable, and
user-friendly. With Tom Moore as guide you will feel at home in
the marvelous world of Renaissance Hermetism, its psychological and
astrological insights, its music, its madness. How much Moore knows
and how generous he is in giving it go the reader.'
-- James Hillman, author of The Souls Code: In Search of Character
and Calling and Emotion: A Comprehensive Phenomenology of Theories
and Their Meaning for Therapy
'In his presentation of psychological insight and understanding
informed by Renaissance astrology and musicology, Dr. Moores
clarity with complex matters is topped only by his wisdom. To tune
the fantasy of a well-tempered life with the disharmonic of
necessary madness is precisely the soulful genius that Dr.
Moores master, Ficino, would have loved.'
-- David Miller, author of Orestes: Myth and Dream as Catharsis
