5.0 out of 5 stars Readable, scholarly and fascinating, 30 May 2002
By M. P. Sammut "Paolo" (www.spectrallight.com) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Zelator: A Modern Initiate Explores the Ancient Mysteries (Paperback)
I think that this is probably one of the most important books on hermetic thought every to be published. David Ovason presents what is essentially the autobiography of Mark Hedsel an initiate of the "path of the fool" and describes the trials and ecstaties of a walker on the path of the mysteries. The book covers lots of detail on hermetic lore in Europe, esoteric symbolism and alchemy. I cannot recomend this book strongly enough

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Account of the Seeker, 20 Jan 2008
This review is from: The Zelator: A Modern Initiate Explores the Ancient Mysteries (Hardcover)
Mark Hedsel has written an intriguing account of his journey in his "Zelator." This remarkable book holds full of gems and insights as one will discover new knowledge that lies within.

This book will surely takes the reader to the experience the mysterious knowledge as well the esoteric path. In this work, one can see the keys to unlock the ancient mysteries and knowledge.

With little over eight chapters and roughly 460 pages as well the included fascinating pictures, this book is tough to read but well worth the read.

For any devoted esoteric seekers of the truth and knowledge, I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genuine Wisdom and Puzzling Details, 15 Aug 2004
By ianrmillard - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Zelator: A Modern Initiate Explores the Ancient Mysteries (Hardcover)
The title refers to one of the "grades" of "pupils" or "seekers" after The Light in the Western Tradition of occultism. The book is a chronicle of learning or striving after learning or, perhaps better put, Enlightenment (cf. such as the works of Rudolf Steiner). Yet this particular seeker's path was not a smooth ascent to some Nirvana-- far from it.

The only annoying thing about this book is that the author never says "I" but always "he" or "the entity" or some such, which may be an attempt to suppress egoism but just makes the work a trifle hard to follow at times. A book for all serious libraries of the metaphysical.
