What a fantastic speaker and, indeed, a fantastic listener! His passion for this subject is evident and it was really lovely seeing his respect for and interest in the audiences’ questions. What a treat!!

I think that’s a matter for individual discernment. Imo it’s also possible to glean inspiration and knowledge from anything, so to a degree it depends how you use and interpret a given text. But skills of discernment are very important to develop, so a person can work out whether they believe a text is “legitimate”, reliable or useful, in my opinion.
I read 50 to 100 esoteric books a year, and while i dont disagree with you, i also try to support living authors as much as possible because thats how theyre trying to survive often times, and its a very small market for their works. I live well well well below the poverty line and still manage to support people i respect
Most of these authors are small time. We wouldn't have a lot of this literature if they weren't able to cover the cost of publishing (never mind make a profit).

Great work. Glad to have found your TH-cam channel, despite how painful on the wallet it can be...
That was a nice surprise. I miss it live as I got stuck at work.
I live in the U.S. and if it wasn't for Denis and his TH-cam channel, I wouldn't have known about Watkins Books.
Denis. It’s great to know your book is in Watkins. The guidance and wisdom you share in person, on TH-cam and Patreon is enriching. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
Lovely video ❤
Denis. It’s great to see your book and as always the guidance and wisdom you share in person, on TH-cam and Patreon is enriching. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
I've collected tarot decks for years. I think sometimes I should downsize.
Me too.
I am with you both 😂
this guy.
Thanks for posting this, wish I could have been there
Dear Denis,
I was great to hear you speak and to meet you at Watkins. The book you suggested I read has been extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanx for this nice video well spoken❤😊
Glad to see the Fish in Watkinsbook store. 😆🤣🤣
This guy destroyed us. In a Good Way though. Lol. Nice to have people like him in the community.
Most occult authors are arm chair magicians. Since Crowley their hasn't been a real magician/author. Tell me how wrong I am?
A lot of those books are probably full of complete nonsense. Does anyone disagree?
Biggest grift in the spiritual game
