"The Incantation", also published as "A Strange Story", is the tale of Dr. Allan Fenwick, a rational materialist who is forced into a series of encounters with clairvoyance, ghosts, and hypnotism. The Victorian narrative blends romance, science, and various occult phenomena in an intriguing way. Dr. Fenwick braves all to rescue his beloved Lillian.

I thought it was an interesting story. But the performance left a lot to be desired. He had the right voice but his rhythm and delivery were all wrong.

At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, "What is wrong with my husband?!" In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.

A touching, funny, and revelatory journey that was fun and engaging from page one to the Tantor add at the end. My only regret is not having read this a decade ago. Thank you Mr. Finch, and thank you Kristen!

Since the beginning of time, humankind has pondered the meaning of life, the extension of life beyond this world, and the existence of a God or creator. The Hermetica is the second major work of the Ancient Egyptian philosopher Hermes Trismegistus, who is reported to have had an awakening during an extended period of meditation. During this awakening, Hermes, much like Jesus and Buddha later on, claims to have been exposed to the meaning of life, the presence of a world beyond this world, the existence of God, and the secret of our immortality.

Revisado: 01-07-21
Despite the often choppy reading, poor pronunciation, and suboptimal recording for this book, it is surprisingly well written. The author uses beautiful yet accessible imagery to illustrate the concepts in a powerful and innovative way. Though I believe Mr. Barnes spends much too much time talking about his own experiences and arguing against atheism and Christianity, he still manages to deliver a the single best "Pomanders" I've ever read.
Well done.

The gritty business of politics is not something we usually associate with the occult. But esoteric beliefs have influenced the destiny of nations since the time of ancient Egypt and China, when decisions of state were based on portents and astrology, to today, when presidents and prime ministers privately consult self-proclaimed seers. Politics and the Occult offers a lively history of this enduring phenomenon. A few of the fascinating topics include the fate of the Knights Templar and the medieval Gnostic Cathars, the occult roots of America and the French Revolution in Freemasonry, Gurdjieff and the swastika, and much more.

A great narrative
Revisado: 12-13-20
A wonderfully detailed deep dive into how the occult shaped, and was shaped by, the political realities of the great men and women explored in this book. However, the author's doomsaying in the last chapter, warning of a radical right wing uprising on the horizon couldn't have been more tone deaf or more wrong. Considering it was published in 2008, 12 years ago, and how things have developed since then I'd say Mr. Lachman didn't have as strong a grasp on the cyclical flow of events as he thought. This is made maddeningly clear with the ease in which he dismissed the threat of leftist agitation, which has now manifested the form of burning cities, attempted assassinations of sitting congressmen, and the ever present threat of political violence by the mob that we see constantly today. Perhaps a new book condemning leftist radicalization is forthcoming?
