I gave the book four stars because, as fine a work as it is, it is dated, especially in Fortune's attitudes about homosexuality and the "nature of the races." Her warning to stay away from any magical group which "promotes" homosexuality and warning against the predatory nature of homosexuals who seek to "convert" others, has become the attitude to avoid. Likewise, what she writes about the different natures of Asians, Western Europeans, and "negroids" is no longer accepted as self-evident.
Fortunately, these limitations of her era take up very few pages in an otherwise still worthy book. ( )
