Living Math
By Jerry "Jerry" - June 15, 2007Modern mathematics as professionally practiced is too often severed from its roots in the marvelous contemplation of our life in nature. When its origins are remembered at all, the focus is usually on necessity, for example the need to measure the movement of the sun or moon for practical matters of planting or harvesting. But to our ancestors even the most practical math was also a source of wonder at the deep yet comprehensible connections within the universe. This wonder is the true beginning of magic.
Renna Shesso's delightful Math for Mystics recovers both the practical and the wonderful in math with a refreshingly clear and lively writing style. The author includes numerous well-designed illustrations and diagrams that she has thoughtfully integrated with the text. Here you will find explained not only the math methods but also the associations that inform their proper magical uses. The selection of topics is excellent, from the origins of measurement to geometric... read more
Math Is as Math Does
By Stephen A. Kallis, Jr. - September 8, 2008The book is supposed to be about math, but near its beginning, it indicates that little background in math is required. The book explores a number of traditions that many occultists are already aware of, though the writing is in a pleasant style.
Some of the more diverting subjects include different ways of counting on one's fingers, though the approaches are simplistic (with a little creativity, one can count to 100 on the fingers of both hands, but I haven't run into such a technique in the book). Before presenting each of the "planetary" Magic Squares, the author discusses the aspects attributed to each square. Similar things have been done before, notably in Medieval and later grimoires, and more succinctly.
For best results, the reader should be a novice in esoterica with little mathematical background. The book is, at best, an introductory text, hardly anything intermediate to advanced. It makes nice summer reading though.
For beginners should be added to the title
By Lover of Magic - June 29, 2009The book has some interesting ideas in it that can be found in other books on sacred geometry. As the title of this review states, it is for beginners. But be observant around the section on magic squares, there is a big error there. The same square is reproduces for each of the planets and I'm sure the author is embarresed over this. Over all an easy read with basic material.
