>>15937094I was introduced to it by my grandmother and first started reading books at age eight (reading the Bible and the Lesser Key of Solomon two years later). I read several other works in my younger years, such as Aristotle, Netwon, Johann Weyer, Agrippa and similar. I also read other documents such as the Grimorium Verum. The German National-Socialist Publishing House's works on Freemasonry were also fascinating, but innacurate and biased at certain points.

John Michael Greer is intelligent, widely read, and often worth reading, but he is not a master I would trust in the deepest matters. He has a real gift for synthesis, for recovering neglected traditions, and for writing about esotericism without the shrillness and vulgarity that infect so much modern occult literature. He is far superior to the marketplace occultists and internet poseurs. Yet his mind is too hospitable to spiritual pluralism, too willing to let symbols coexist without forcing them beneath a final theological judgment. He is often illuminating, but not severe enough. He knows how to arrange a library; he does not always know how to build a court.
>So my opinion is strong and mixed: I respect Greer as a learned and capable essayist, and I regard much of his work as useful secondary reading, especially for orientation, historical atmosphere, and civilizational perspective. But I would not take him as a final authority for serious operative work within a Christian Solomonic frame. He tends toward breadth where I would demand hierarchy, toward symbolic richness where I would demand jurisdiction, and toward esoteric fluency where I would demand doctrinal clarity. He is a man of many doors; I prefer a man who knows which doors must remain shut.
>Essentially, he does not take the practice firmly enough. im trans btw
