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 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).

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.
My word, I really had been enjoying those hotel breakfasts 🤣 thank you once again for having me!

Denis. It’s great to know your book is in Watkins. The guidance and wisdom you share in person, on RUclips and Patreon is enriching. Thank you 🙏🏽 ❤
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 RUclips channel, I wouldn't have known about Watkins Books.
Lovely video ❤
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!
I've collected tarot decks for years. I think sometimes I should downsize.
Me too.
I am with you both 😂
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.
I'm all for Piracy
Scan, share, care.
Not that I don't prefer the hard covers 😎
But let's not talk politics here.

A lot of those books are probably full of complete nonsense. Does anyone disagree?
Biggest grift in the spiritual game
Most occult authors are arm chair magicians. Since Crowley their hasn't been a real magician/author. Tell me how wrong I am?
