Book Description

About the Author Stephen Skinner began his career as a Geography lecturer and magazine publisher, but his long term interests have always been Western magic and feng shui. During the 1970s he was the driving force behind Askin Publishers, producing a number of classic magical works by Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, and others. During the 1970s he co-wrote many books with Francis King, including the still popular Techniques of High Magic. Also with Francis King he wrote Nostradamus. His interest in prophecy stimulated by this book, he went on to write the best selling Millennium Prophecies. Stephen is credited with bringing the art of Feng Shui to the West, and in 1976 he wrote the Living Earth Manual of Feng Shui, which was the first English book on feng shui in the 20th century. Stephen has written more than 35 books, which have been published worldwide in 28 different languages. These books have had introductions by such diverse people as Colin Wilson, HRH Charles Prince of Wales, and Jimmy Choo, shoe designer to the stars. Stephen lives in Singapore. Stephen is the first Westerner to be awarded the title of Grand Master of Feng Shui by the International Feng Shui Association. Read more

Customers Review:

I’m sure the book contents are fine, however after holding this hefty tome, which should have weighed much more than it did, and then opening it to reveal pages made of the thinnest and lowest quality recycled materials, I knew I could keep it. I can’t believe Llewelyn publications released such a poorly bound and crafted edition.
I got kind of nervous after reading the other review about the pages being cheap. I was pleasantly surprised how well the book was made. Also the contents inside are outstanding. I commend Dr. Skinner for taking the time to put all this together.
This new edition of Dee’s Spiritual diary is absolutely indispensable and a labour of many years hard work and dedication. Dr. Stephen Skinner has been on the fore front of reaseach regarding the life and works of John Dee for decades, being responsible for making Casaubons text available too a whole new generation of readers. Decades later Dr Skinner would once again revisit this amazing work be releasing the first ever corrected and easily readable edition in 2011. This in itself would have been a monumental task as the typesetting and ridiculous punctuation of the original text made it an extremely difficult work to manoeuvre through let alone comprehend, it was amazing edition and sold many headaches. Now finally with the brand new release you not only have the corrected and highly readable text in a much more pleasant font but Dr Skinner has painstakingly gone out of his way to present in this one volume all the Latin text of the original translated and easily readable in English.The book has also been reduced in height from the previous edition by popular demand so that it can fit beautifully into most bookcases.For anyone interested in magic, enochian tradition and history in general, this is a must! Have.
