I agree with the other reviews here, this is an excellent read if you, like many others, are looking for a solution to the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery. Van Buren is one of a group of privy authors, like Doucet, who have dropped hints at the solution, but are not at liberty to go into specifics. The dedicated bibliophile will be rewarded here, but I would also check out books by Eisenman for non-fiction and Anatole France for fiction among others. They say you will find the crux of the enigma's solution in its answer. Happy hunting. DS
A Fantastic Journey to Hidden Dimensions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I couldn't agree more with the previous review. This book is a rare jewel. It is far more poetic than factual, and many of the statements and assertions it contains will irritate and infuriate the skeptic and the cynic. On the other hand, this is the real deal...this book does a superb job of crystallizing the intangible spiritual forces and dimensions that make Rhedae such an unforgettable flower of eternity. It is a haunting and ultimately nonverbal book, and I'd have to say it's one of my all-time favorites. Every page is packed with awesome and nebulous mysteries. You'll either give it five stars or you'll think it's the worst piece of gibberish you've ever seen....sheer poetry from beginning to end. Vive le Cardou!
A BIG Piece of the Rennes Puzzle...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Too bad ALL of the "Rennes-les-Chateau Addicts" don't have this book... they might then have a CLUE!This is a MARVELOUS compendium of arcane lore, compared and listed alongside details of that most interesting mystery of Southern France which makes clear the absolute ANCIENT nature of it, and makes irrelevant all the silly conjectures about the "Tomb of God" or the "Horse of God" or buried "treasure" of the 3 dimensional ilk. Ms. Van Buren's conclusions are VERY deep and complex, but entirely in keeping with the demonstrated complexity of this phenomenon. It has proven over and over again to "shift and move" with the assumptions and expectations of the "seeker," showing us that there is not a simple nor cut-and-dried answer as so many expect to find. It is TRULY an alchemical work...The SERIOUS Rennes-les-Chateau and "Shepherds of Arcadia" aficionado cannot afford to NOT buy this book!
