Summary: An update to an older magickal system
Review: From what I can tell Nema has attempted to do for the Aeon of Maat, The same thing Crowley did for the Aeon of Horus, Even though I wasn't even aware that we were in the Aeon of Maat. Nonetheless the quality of this book is astounding, and very well brought together. I haven't personally had a chance to perform any of the rituals, but have a basic understanding for the Theory. The word that comes to mind when she speeks of the astral temple is enchanting, very imaginative. My only beef is that I have noticed of late that recent magick books have drifted from the artistic aspect of high magick to a more astral/imaginative area of magick. Personally my favorite part of magick has always been the beauty and complexity of the ritual garb and tools.

Summary: Nema's book reveals nature's truth to a waking mind & heart
Review: Many have said that nature is truly the greatest teacher, and when the time for word and thought rests in the immortal essence of the moment, her lessons come to us and may speak to us and teach us the truths of our heart as we weave through the seeming complexity of day to day life and find ourselves back in the moment, as truth disolves all illusion and love teaches us all lessons. This is the message of the ancient egyptians as it is also the nature of NEMA's book to provey this message. Nema's book is about this truth and the search for inner vission as it reaches its refinement in our day and age. And we find,that between us, this truth is ultimately much less different than the centuries before us have led us to suspect...leading us to the realization that only love could allow such chaos to exist, and only will could bind such truth. As an introduction to the magickal arts, this book provides the neophyte with a mature, well though out and researched evolving view of a "magick," as a willed mind change, which can not be confined by "tradition" but which represents the culminating flower of human compassion.
