I received the book earlier this week and I’ve already put it to use. In fact I’ve been carrying it around with me.

I had already received the manual and even while having a great time at East Coast Spirit Sessions I studied the manual and thought of how I would work it.

Out of the different things you can do, and there are quite a few, I focused on the Tarot readings and having the book answer questions under my control while they handle it. This book can force things but it’s hard for you to understand that if you don’t have it.

I tell people …

This book is not just a collection of tarot cards, it is a guide to the unseen. If you come seeking answers, guidance, and insight, hold the book, feel its energy pulse through, and place the card anywhere in the book (I use thin card stock and have the subject insert it, I find it better than just opening the book)

The book has no title, author, publisher, it’s weird but I had a dream about it once and in this dream I heard someone call it The Oracle of Shadows and Light. Maybe the book was communicating with me.

The book will reveal a tarot card and a description that will prove eerily accurate, almost as if the book could peer into your very soul.

I found the book during a visit to a small, unassuming antique shop in a quiet corner of London that I happened to stumble upon. There, in a box of forgotten, seemingly unimportant items among the clutter this particular book caught my attention. The shop owner, an elderly gentleman with a penchant for storytelling, claimed he knew little about it, only that it had been acquired from an estate sale in Cornwall.

He didn’t seem to care much for it and wasn’t charging me much. So I got it.

Anyway … Hermetica gets my highest recommendation. I’m using it and I don’t see why I would ever stop doing so.

My books arrived today (both Leather and Cloth editions) and they are BEAUTIFUL!!

Every detail thought out all the way down to the COA’s being protected within top loaders. (My trading card guys will get it)

And Bobby has blessed me with edition #13 of 45 of the leather bound editions!!! Sure you can hope for #1 or #45. But I think #13 is juuuuust right.

Happy…Days….

Can’t wait to out this to good use!

I really enjoyed Alexandre's post, above,

Today I was curled up with snow falling outside, inside with a wood stove keeping me warm. Hermetica was in my lap, as was the instruction manual. Flipping back and forth between the two, I found myself giggling at not just Bobby's thinking, but also the execution in the book. The crib is deviously clever. So much is revealed! The structure throughout the book gives one so much information. I was actually texting Bobby throughout the day letting him know I was so surprised as I was working through the instruction manual with the book-in-hand how much one can glean. Throughout the manual he refers to "layers of deception" - that is such an apt phrase, as there are SO MANY LAYERS OF DECEPTION built into this book. And, I am thinking of using it for a couple of the layers of deception in my work. But, as I become more conversant with that, I will undoubtedly add in more of the hidden utility capacities Bobby has built into this treasure trove.

I tried not to be that guy......but my anticipation got the better of me.

Bobby is working his way through the queue as he hand ages each book.

We all order within minutes of each other. Deep breathes

Richard, it was a pleasure meeting you and hanging out at ECSS. Your presentation was stunning, hope to catch your new show!

Hermetica continues to impress as I’ve been carrying the book around with me. Everyone’s intrigued. The book knows!

Nice! I've been looking at that, but I don't really do a lot of fortune-telling style routines.

I received my copy of Hermetica today and am delighted with it. The quality and craftsmanship are superb -as are the beautiful methods integrated into the book.
There is an elegant simplicity to its appearance and I think it succeeds as something that will feel and look natural in the spectator’s hands. There is nothing for the “skeptical” spectator to discover either. In addition to several routines, Hermetica gives those who are not as familiar with doing readings a lovely place to start!
I recommend it highly.

I also received mine today and love the look of it! The effects and methods are powerful and the mysterious look just enhances that further.

I picked up my copy Friday. Spent the weekend going over it and through it. Tried it out and it said the Lions would lose in their Championship Game. I cried. Seriously, I am not a performer but this could make me want to try. It is physically perfect and, from what I have seen so far, psychically, it is perfect. This has my highest recommendation.

I am all of nowhere on that puzzle. I tried every possible thing I could think of and neither of them worked.
