Review

'Experiencing Astral Travel- An 8 week course' by Mark Pritchard, writing under the pseudonym V.M.Beelzebub, is a good practical introduction to the subject. In about 150 pages, the author gives a practical approach to learn astral travel. There are many books on the subject, but this book starts from the very beginning and takes the reader to a fairly good level.

The author deals with astral planes, the problem with concentration, fears and other obstacles caused by egos and ways of overcoming the same. He also suggests a few mantras to help in remembering one's dreams, to conjure evil entities away etc.

This book is based on the FREE 8-week course offered by www.gnosticweb.org, with whom the author is associated. Similar courses on 'Self Knowledge' and 'Esoteric Wisdom' are also offered by the same site. That all these courses are FREE is praiseworthy.

The cover has been printed very attractively and the book is well printed. The editing could have been better to avoid style errors, punctuation problems etc.

Considering all the factors, I would rate the book as 'Very Good' with a score of 7/10.
