“This book was way more interesting than I thought it was going to be.
I really enjoyed the sections on ghosts, dark matter, lost civilizations, the Age of Aquarius, and the theology interspersed throughout.
It doesn't give off "woo-woo" vibes like the name could suggest, and it doesn't focus on magic or come off as a self-help type of guide.
If anyone is curious about theology or this type of stuff, I recommend this book.”
