In the dark and brooding firmament of occult literature, best-selling author Lon Milo DuQuette is a star of unique and exceptional brilliance. Although he takes the subjects of magic, Masonry and the Western spiritual traditions very seriously, he tries to remember not to take himself too seriously. This rare combination of common sense and self-effacing humor has in the last fifteen years secured him a respected position in the world of esoteric literature. Hailed by critics as the most entertaining author in the field, (His style has been compared to that of Mark Twain and Robert Benchley) his books, seminars and workshops evoke from his audiences a curious mixture of laughter, terror, and wonderment.
