We’re so glad you love the book! Thank you for such a thoughtful and inspiring review. ✨

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I've been spending more time with it today. Such a beautiful, important piece of humanity's spiritual manifestation you've made available to the world with such care and attention to detail. I really can't thank you enough for this gorgeous gift!

[@yves6180]

À second edition soon?

[@MsGnor]

What a glorious treasure! I've always adored Mucha's beguiling work 🥰

[@CenturyGuild]

@@MsGnor Thank you very much! I'm so glad you feel the same way.

[@yves6180]

I just received the paperback edition of this book. The edge is golden and some elements of the cover are textured. It cannot therefore be slipped into a bookcase or placed under another book. I found him a box. Inside, the artwork is breathtaking. Ce livre est une pure merveille.

[@CenturyGuild]

Thank you very much, Ozarik! I'm so glad you love your copy of the paperback edition. 😊

[@thomasnegovanonline]

Thank you so very much for the kind words. I’m speechless. 🙏🏻

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Thomas, your work is beyond description. Making Alphonse Mucha's profound interpretation of the Pater Noster so approachable, not just through your careful words, but by the methodical, didactic manner in which you've organised the chapters and related art that inspired it... I will treasure this one! Thank you again for such a kind, beautiful gift!

[@dlove3636]

This is the most beautiful book I've ever seen! Thank you for being who you are @Foolish Fish that you'd receive this love and beauty and share immediately with this community! Both my daughters studied Latin for 4 years. What a gift it'll be to them!!! Thank you!!!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I agree with you, Art Nouveau is the pinnacle of Western Art. Mind you, Arts and Crafts, Shaker and Art Deco do deserve some accolades as well. Thank you for mentioning The Century Guild. I never heard of them until now.

This video release is one of the most synchronous events in my life. No joke. Last weekend I came across a piece by Mucha (my introduction to his work) and I swear the model looked exactly like someone very dear to me. I sent her a picture and told her jokingly this must have been her from a past life. Now that I have a glimpse of the content of this book, which my dear friend would be fascinated by, I have absolutely no doubt this is meaningful beyond reason... If that makes sense. I must get a copy!

Once again FF! What a great video and what a lovely book! I just had to order it! Looking at the cardboard box, sometimes you can get those treated either by wax or a special chemical to make it endure time and use it as a decoration…just saying, it’s a beautiful box! Keep bringing us these amazing videos!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Aha! Yes, a great idea! 😄 I'm so glad I was able to give you a reasonably approximate idea of what the book looks like. Honestly, when you receive it, you'll see that the video is far from doing it justice. You're in for a real treat!

[@OISaviour]

Gorgeous gift. You deserve it.

[@tedpikul1]

You just sold a copy of this new edition of Le Pater. Many educated people are unaware of the profound influence that mysticism (as we call it) had on the Modernist aesthetic. The Symbolist movement itself was significantly, intentionally esoteric, and many people enjoy works associated with that movement without any awareness or understanding of the esoteric elements. I've found that my appreciation of artists such as JK Huysmans, August Strindburg and Maurice Maeterlinck has been greatly enhanced by my study of modern European mysticism. Are you familiar with Maeterlinck's play, The Blind (Les Aveugles)?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

No! I don't know it! Thank you for the hint 😄🙏

[@runander]

Gorgeous book! Absolutely stunning and right up my alley content wise. Comes with quite the hefty price tag though, Swedish Customs Agency would probably pile on a bit too :P

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Oh for sure, it's a very special object. Worth every cent, but by no means pocket-money fare...

[@jasonwilcox6890]

[@entropy1172]

So much beauty so much ressemblance to visions i have without knowing where they come from. Understanding is always there but always from inside. Mystic understanding is understanding of the whole and connection within therefore without and to see it is not self delusions but there are some who walked the path and left clues is a blessing in disguise to me. Thank you for sharing this

[@MT-jb3pw]

I know it is complementary! But compare to other books you have shown on this channel this book is to expensive for it content compare to other ones that have similar content. But the cover is very nice!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I'm afraid I have to disagree. The format and the construction are very much in a different league from most of what I've shown before. I would say that it's current price is surprisingly low given the quality, size, materials used and content.

[@captainmeow5335]

I can't bring myself to look at the price. Thank you for review, it looks stunning.

[@vergecryptocurrency4552]

170$ lol

[@svendevarennes520]

Is this the hardcover edition or the clamshell? Im just wondering because I didnt see any box but the quality seems superior to most hardovers for that price (and such limited print)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

It's the original hardcover No clamshell.

Hey! Wanted to check with you about a membership, is it still enabled or is it because I’m using iOS? There’s no join button for me and the link just takes me to your channel. Thanks!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Hm... Yes, possibly due to iOS. The link should take you to the tab of my channel called 'memberships'. You can try accessing via a browser instead of the app. It's also not impossible that memberships are disabled in certain regions...

[@martiangentian]

Hi I had quite a bit of trouble too the first time it was because i had 2 you tube profiles and though I joined with this one it registered to the first one I had so didn’t get membership badges etc. then when I deleted that profile I had to rejoin again. I am on IOS and I think you need to use chrome when it directs you to join it doesn’t work on safari. I got there eventually though. Good luck! 🤞

[@Tom-mw6jb]

Mr fish at one point on your channel there was a book about keeping things in memory through the construction of buildings/houses in the mind. I'm not entirely sure but if you have any idea what this book was called id much appreciate it as I have been looking for it and I can't remember where on your channel it was. If anyone knows anything ill sends good energy in return for any help in finding it😋

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Possibly "on the Shadow of Ideas" by Giordano Bruno. The Kickstarter failed, but there is still a chance it will be possible to order the hardcover directly from Scott Gosnell.

[@CoachArjunAiyar]

Hey All! Need your perspective(s). Thanks! Am looking at these books by Damon Brand (1) Words of Power (2) The Greater Words of Power and (3) Mystical Words of Power... I'd be Super Grateful if you could help me discern, which is most suitable for me - as someone moving from Initiate towards Practitioner.... Also, could you recommend a book(s) for Magickal Intelligence & Memory (and / or Wisdom) - something to aid me as a communicator / speaker / teacher. Thank Youuuuu!

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Words of Power is a great place to begin in my opinion. 😊
