Dense Dense Book

In case you are wondering I mean dense as in very much material/matter confined in a small mass in this case text as opposed to dumb:). The basic argument of Ponce's tome is a unification of psyche, science with the occult. In order to obtain, or prove that such a unification is natural or suitable Ponce examines the hidden world of Astrology, Tarot, and other occult phenonemon and studies them in a very psychological and scientific matter. The opening chapter particularly achieves his thesis as he traces Astrology's origins to scientific method before it became entangled with the taboo world of the occult. He footnotes and charts throughout the text various sources to back up his thesis. I would guess this book is targeted at people interested in the Occult, but it also finds an audience in philosophers, and after all the much of the human race even in the twenty-first century are amateur philoaophers. MY personal opinion is that this book is well reasearched, and written. The chapter on Kabbalism was a little oblique to me, and will have to be re-read. In fact this is a very small book, and should probably be completely re-read to fully appreciate and understand the total depth of it.
