The red book =

Clearly Nietzschean, inspired by esoteric Christianity, alchemy and Tarot and written by a spirit different (perhaps stronger) than Nietzsche. Some of Jung's ideas are delelopped in Meyrink's work as well. A piece of experimental psychology with a touch of Medievalism in it. I'm not very fond of the parodical and satirical pages.

5 stars just on principle; in reality this might have benefited from a harsher editor and more commentary on the insights. Still... a monumental book to have had while I did/do my own shadow work.
