![]() Now, it may seem as though my opening claim of the book “magically appearing” in my life was hyperbolic and that it’s more of a case of absentmindedness and laziness. Well, that sounded like it was going to take a year to get through the first lesson, so I promptly shut the book and returned it to it’s home on the bookshelf.Īgain, time passed by and I forgot all about Initiation Into Hermetics. Bardon lists about ten exercises, then writes, “We should allow anywhere from 14 days to one month for each of these.” He goes on to say that for anyone inexperienced in Hermetics, this will take much longer. After reading “Lesson I” in the book, I became severely discouraged at the amount of time required. Having closed the matter, I contentedly placed it back on the bookshelf for another six months before I finally decided to try reading it. Satisfied, I ran upstairs to show my wife. I found Initiation Into Hermetics hidden behind some other texts. ![]() That deja vu feeling kept nagging me for days, until the point where I knew I had owned the book. Now there’s a Kindle edition and a reprint edition, so prices are back to being reasonable. Over the past few years, I’ve seen the price for Bardon’s books fluctuate anywhere between $20 and $1000. Sidenote: If you haven’t noticed, Amazon book prices skyrocket when there’s low stock. “I Feel like I’ve owned this book before!” -Me I remember turning to my wife and saying “I feel like I’ve owned this book before.” “Maybe I’ll get to read that one day, but no way am I ever going to pay that price for a book.” But as I stared at the image of the cover on my laptop screen, a strange feeling of deja vu came over me. I pulled it up on Amazon and saw the current price was listed at $450. Sometime later, I found myself on a peculiar Google rabbit hole involving search terms like “best book,” “hermetics,” and “magic.” Many sources kept mentioning this book, Initiation Into Hermetics, a title that I did not recognize or remember, as the book to read on the subject. I moved at least one time, probably twice, at which times it was transferred to another book shelf.
