About this title
Synopsis:In many ways, Arbatel is unique among texts on magic. Unlike the vast majority of writings, it is clear, concise, and elegantly written. The practical instructions are straightforward and undemanding. When it first appeared in 1575, it attracted the attention of people with a surprisingly broad range of agendas, including some of the finest minds of the time. Often quoted and reprinted, both praised and condemned, its impact on western esoteric philosophy has been called "overwhelming." Arbatel's magic is full of wonder and free from the sinister elements usually associated with texts on the subject. But it is about more than magic; filled with gnomic wisdom, it urges us to help our neighbors, be positive and grateful, and use time wisely. Above all, it teaches us to pay attention, looking for the wondrous and miraculous. In fact, to the author this virtually defines the magus. Included are illustrations, bibliography, index, and original Latin text.

Reviews for "Experiencing the Adventure: The Amulet Book Series in Order of Events"
1. Joe - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Amulet" book series. The story was all over the place, with too many characters and subplots that did not contribute much to the overall plot. The artwork was beautiful, but it couldn't save the confusing narrative. Additionally, the characters lacked depth and development, making it difficult to truly care about them. Overall, I found this series to be a confusing and underwhelming read.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I couldn't finish the "Amulet" book series. The story was convoluted and felt like it was trying too hard to be unique and original. The characters were one-dimensional and uninteresting, failing to engage me in any way. The pacing was also off, with slow moments that dragged on and action scenes that lacked impact. I was bored and ultimately decided to give up on the series. Not recommended.
3. Mark - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the "Amulet" book series, but unfortunately, it fell short. The plot was predictable and lacked the depth and complexity I was expecting. The character development was weak, and I never felt a true connection with any of them. The illustrations were visually stunning, but they couldn't make up for the lackluster storytelling. Ultimately, I found this series to be a forgettable read that didn't live up to its potential.
4. Emily - 2 stars - After hearing so much hype about the "Amulet" book series, I was excited to dive into it. However, I found the writing to be lacking and the dialogue to be stiff and unconvincing. The pacing was inconsistent, with moments that felt rushed and others that dragged on unnecessarily. Additionally, the plot was predictable and didn't offer any surprises. While the illustrations were undoubtedly impressive, they couldn't make up for the shortcomings in the storytelling. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't recommend this series.
