Wonderful view of Angkor .......2007-10-10
So many books available on Angkor ... and I bought Dawn Rooney's! I am just delighted with my choice. The photos and the scope of material covered in the book are so comprehensive. Would really love to spend days and days seeing it all! Maybe some day ....
Angkor, Cambodia's Wondrous Khmer Temples.......2007-05-24
ANGKOR, Cambodia's Wondrous Khmer Temples is not only a very practical guide for visiting the Khmer monuments at the Angkor archaeological park but also for visiting the Khmer monuments in Phnom Penh. Furthermore this guidebook includes the most important remote temples (Banteay Chhmar, Koh Ker, Preah Vihaer, Beng Mealea).
Apart from a clear description of each temple it also gives a description from their location and from the access.
Important to mention also is the fact it gives a short but clear insight in the old epics (Mahabharata, Ramayana etc.) and legends and this book includes a list of the most forthcoming gods, deities and divinities which makes its easier to understand the bas-reliefs of the Khmer art and architecture.
The book also includes general and practical tourist information as well as for Siem Reap as for Phnom Penh.
Together with the book from Michael Freeman and Claude Jacques "Ancient Angkor" and the book from Jean Laur "Angkor, temples and monuments" one will have the most actual existing complete information about the Khmer art and architecture in Cambodia.
Ancient Angkor (River Book Guides)
Excellent book, but big.......2007-03-21
If you are like me and avoid tour guides as much as possible, but still like to know about the places you are visiting, then this book is for you. It gives excellent descriptions of the temples. It has lots of background information on the history and on the art you'll see. It also contains wonderful photography. Plus, it has lots of general information on traveling in Cambodia including a section on Phnom Penh. If you are doing a basic Cambodia visit of Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, then this book is all you really need.
My only complaint is that it is a big book, bigger than other tour books like Lonely Planet or Rough Guide. This is a problem if you are trying to travel as light as possible. However, I still recommend taking it.
A general suggestion for visiting the temples: be aware that they are now apparently the second most visited tourist destination in Asia. Lots of Asian tour groups everywhere. To avoid them, go early! Get going at 6AM (or even earlier and go see the sunrise over Angkor Wat!). Then you'll have the temples to yourself for a couple of hours. Midday, when the tours go back to their hotels for lunch is also good, as is late afternoon/early evening. But even with the tour groups around, it is still an amazing place!
A complete guide for an on-site visit.......2007-01-30
I just returned from a 3-day visit to Angkor and used this book as a background and then as a detailed guide to visit each temple. It is most useful, providing detailed and accurate maps and descriptions of each temple and guiding the reader through the highlights. Well written and easily beats listening endlessly to the vague chatter of most on-site guides.

It is a nice approach for understanding the arquitecture, reliefs and sculptures of the Khmer culture.

A weaker link in Mishima's tetralogy.......2006-07-24
This was, for me, the weakest of the three Sea of Fertility novels I have read. One problem has been commented on by almost every reviewer: the theme of the overall work is reincarnation. But traditional Buddhist philosophy regard the soul, and even the self, as illusions. If this is so, then what is it that is reincarnated? A long and complex essay on this takes up far too much of the novel and probably could be understood only by a reader with extensive previous knowledge of Buddhist philosophy.
A more subtle problem is that this book seems to lack the compassion of the earlier volumes. Part of this is the treatment of Honda himself, and perhaps a natural reflection of the fact that Honda, in the timeline of the overall work, is becoming an old man, combined with Mishima's own horror of old age that influenced his suicide a few years after this book was written. Certainly the contrast between the fading age of Honda and this novel's reincarnation of Kiyoaki, a beautiful young Thai princess, is made frequently and rather heavy-handedly. But in other cases Misihima's cruelty seens clearly gratuitous, particularly the case of a pseudo-intellectual and a would-be poetess who are brought in as characters almost solely so that Mishima can mock them before killing them off. This whole subplot struck me as entirely unworthy of Mishima.
Mishima was a genius, though, and there is much in this book that is impressive, fully equal to the brilliance of the two prequels. The dramatic ending has been justly praised by other reviewers. The recent history of Japan is a major focus of the tetralogy, and the descriptions in this story of Tokyo in ruins during and just after the war are harrowing. And the portrayal of Honda's marriage with Rie, two people who have spent their lives together and are growing old together, tied to each other by familiarity and social custom, yet never really united by love, is poignant and remarkable.
Moving, shocking, thought-provoking, and superbly elegantly constructed, the height of the "Sea" so far.......2006-07-14
In THE TEMPLE OF DAWN, the third book of Yukio Mishima's "Sea of Fertility" tetralogy, we find Shikeguni Honda on business in Thailand. Six years after the death of Isao Iinuma, the former judge is now a successful lawyer, but his interest in practising law is shaken when he meets Ying Chan, a Thai princess who is the second reincarnation of Kiyoaki Matsugae. THE TEMPLE OF DAWN differs greatly from the first two books of the tetralogy. While SPRING SNOW and RUNAWAY HORSES focus mainly on their tragic young men done in by fatal youthful flaws, love and idealism respectively, Honda is the central figure of this volume. All events are filtered through his eyes, and what little we learn about Ying Chan comes from his desperate musings. In its chronology this third volume also differs, for while the first two volumes take place within a span of a couple of years, THE TEMPLE OF DAWN leaps from 1939 through the war years to 1952, and ends with a shocking revelation in 1967.
Honda has changed a lot since we last met him. Right off the bat Mishima tells us that the death of Isao turned Honda from a idealistic man of reason to a nihilist, and nihilism is finally revealed as the big theme of the cycle. Honda continues to change as he grows older in this volume, and this process of growing old, of questioning earlier assumptions, and of searching for some answer to life's mysteries makes for a fascinating plot. Readers will be shocked by the behavior of the protagonist, his wife, and their social circle. This is a novel where every nearly every page punches the reader in the cut, and Mishima appears as much a master of apparently casual revelations as Gene Wolfe. He is also a master of the love story, for love affairs in this book, twisted though they be, come out as much more realistic than Kiyoaki's doomed affection for Satoko.
But beyond the individual personages of the book and their foibles, Mishima wants the reader to consider universal principles of philosophy. Honda spends the war years in a haze, reading through the Buddhist canon and trying to figure it all out as his country is battered around him. While one can enjoy THE TEMPLE OF DAWN without too closely paying attention to ideas of samsara and the self, the novel richly rewards repeat reading. And finally, the book stands out for its amazing ending. I won't give it away, but I will say that Mishima brilliantly alludes to his earlier writings, reinforces his thoughts on "cosmic nihilism", and even pays a tribute to his mentor Yasunari Kawabata.
All in all, this is the finest book of "The Sea of Fertility" that I have read so far, and I really can't recommend it enough. Pick up SPRING SNOW if you haven't yet, and other readers can continue on through this one without fear.
Sea of Silence ..........2005-08-15
This is not an intent to (summarize) mishima's sea of fertility... rather it's an approach into analyzing it ... a sort of reading between the lines...
Then ... again, what are we exactly trying to portray?
we would say we are ( intending ) to deliver a semiotic vision of what the sea of fertility represents ... we are not trying to ( read ) it for our reader , rather , we let him read , and help him amidst it , by presenting a cluster of signs , keys , semiotics , call it whatever you want , that would - at the end - clarify the road , and that can be grasped by the reader so he can get a wider vision , and a better comprehension of this gigantic universe , which mishima called ( sea of fertility ) ...
But first, why is this bizarre title (sea of fertility)?
mishima himself is going to answer this question , to give it the first ( leading ) sign , that we should know it doesn't crack secrets for us , but merely provides us with a minimum limit , which we can begin our journey from ..
in a note mishima sent to the famous American criticizer Donald Keene , he clearly admits that the reason he chose this title for his tetralogy is a hint for an area of the same designation on the moon's surface not so far of ( the sea of silence ) ... the reason for this reference is to aim at a ( contradiction ) between this vivid and colorful name , and the wasteland it stands for in real ... we can go further on saying that this title combines the image of universal nihilism with the image of ( sea of fertility ) ...
in summer 1945 mishima wanted to write an immense oeuvre that would sum up Miller's famous trilogy ( the rosy crucifixion ) , and that would stress more and more on that ( dark ) side of art ... to write a novel that would take six years of his life , and that would cover - chronogically - those sixty years from 1912 and on ..
That decision , which was the most important one in mishima's practical life , obliged writing this novel in four volumes , in each an individual story , for each a special protagonist , but these characters would not be totally separated from each other ...
How?
The figure in the first volume is the lad kiwaki, the noble descent of the wealthy family of Matsugai, lives a love story, one of its kind that memory would not forget easily, and his friend Honda stands as an eye witness for this superb experience of his...
From that point on , in every volume that succeeds, we can notice that the hero is merely the first one, but after being (reincarnated), to start a new cycle of life, and to let Honda only figure out the connections that ties these four characters...
Mishima Knew very well that his Tetralogy is a rich threshold for everything he learned as a writer ... he told his friends, that when he finishes it, there is only one thing left for him to do ... (suicide) ... and by taking his own life in November 25th 1970, he fulfilled his final quote: the life of men is short, I want to live forever...
( The sea of fertility ) is not an easy read nor its a happy one , it is a lament melancholic presentation of life ... rendered by an artist ...
Great book, makes you think long after reading it.......2005-04-01
Not as engrossing as the first two books of the tetrology, The Temple of Dawn meanders through Honda's life in his 50's, as he falls in love with the Princess of Thailand who, he suspects, is the reincarnation of Isao and Iunima, the protagonists of "Spring Snow" and "Runaway Horses".
The book provides for deep reading, and with Mishima's wonderful descriptions and exploration of the mind, it is a book not to be missed.
The story deals with the multilayered emotions of Rie (Honda's wife), Keiko (his neighbor), Makiko (Iunuma's romantic interest in Runaway Horses) and other characters.
With Honda as the main character, the development of his thoughts on life and death are dealt with in detail, which may provide some moments of "skipping", if you're not into that kind of stuff.
Mishima at his best.......2004-03-28
This was the first novel I read in the Sea of Fertility tetrology, and though I have finished the series, this still remains my favorite one. Few other novels I have read, not just in the series but other books in general, have been as shocking or deeply moving.
The main character's quest for enlightenment and search for truth culminate into a disastrous obsession with a young lady. His fixation on her youth and beauty are compared to his own tired and aging body, and that of his unhappy wife.
Deeper than other novels, he pursues the link between people beyond death. If someone is reborn, are they forced to replay their fate again and again? Is this the fate of mankind, or is the protagonist simply unable to accept the death of someone he loved? He is searching in this novel, searching for lost love and friendship, and searching for his own soul. The dialogue in the novel on Buddhism is somewhat dry and scholarly, but the this fits in with the dryness and objective view the narrator feels towards the world in general.
Mishima manages to connect eroticism, reincarnation, post-war Japan skepticism, beauty and death into a work of art. I highly recommend this novel.
Product Description
The act of constructing a wand or other ritual object is an act of magic. The magician spends an extraordinary amount of time creating ritual objects, not because it is only through these objects that magic can rightly be performed, but because the act of creating is a magical process of growth, one which initiates the development of the will in accordance with the divine intent or purpose. This in turn contributes to the success of the ritual. The construction of a ritual object should be treated like any other magical operation. It should focus all parts of the magician's mind (intellect, creativity, imagination, spiritual self) into one purpose to manifest an object which will be a receptacle for higher forces, in order that the magician too can become a worthy receptacle of that which is divine. Chic Cicero and S. Tabatha Cicero have been instrumental in preserving the mystical wisdom of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Their Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple: The Alchemy and Crafting of Magickal Implements was the first book to bring you detailed instructions on crafting and using the ritual implements of the Golden Dawn system of magic. Now their classic text has been updated. This is the most complete book to date on the construction of the many tools used in the Golden Dawn system of magic. Here is a unique compilation of the various tools of the Golden Dawn, all described in full: wands, swords, elemental tools, Enochian Tablets, altars, temple furniture, banners, pillars, thrones, lamens, mantles and robes, ritual headdresses and ceremonial clothing, admission badges, and much more. This book provides complete step-by-step instructions for the construction of nearly 80 different implements, all displayed in photographs or drawings, along with the exact symbolism behind each and every item.
Customer Reviews:
Wonderful and Daunting.......2007-04-06
This is a wonderful book produced by the Ciceros on the creation of Golden Dawn style magickal implements and also includes several interesting rituals for their use. Not all of the implements are "official" Golden Dawn but are wonderful additions to the system nonetheless such as the Wand of Double Power used in tracing the pentagrams and other symbols for invoking and banishing. The Geomancy box is another example of a great idea. Because this book includes almost everything I would say it is a wonderful addition to the Golden Dawn canon and is essential to every magicians library. That said though the book has some problems that can be quite daunting.
Many of the implements described in this book require the crafter to have access to a full wood shop and metal shop. This is simply impractical for the magician living in the city or even those who are not able to afford the equipment necessary. I'd like to see someone write a book similar to this but with more practical instructions that anybody can use without costing an arm and a leg just to get started on some of the more immediate things. Otherwise, some of the items in this book are quite daunting to produce.
Also, the book lacks practical instructions on constructing the pillars, instead giving "at best" type advice and anecdotes of their own experiences that while interesting are not at all useful.
One thing it lacks, and well it should because it would take a whole book of it's own, is the construction of a Vault of the Adepti. Such a project is too big for a book of this scope but it is a book I would like to see with practical instructions on items like the lid of the pastos etc. There is a picture of Doc Regardie standing in the Vault that Chic and his wife contructed in the 1970s that is very powerful but even with all that power fails to get across the true scope of the Vault.
I give the book a 3 overall in spite of its excellence, it just isn't a practical manual unless you have all the tools required.
A Personal Work.......2002-02-27
Chic and Tabatha Cicero have given the occult world quite a present with this text, as it is informative, insightful and a glimpse at some of their own personal work. The "meat and potatoes" of this book, if you will, is as it says the creation of ritual implements. Within is contained a step-by-step guide which starts with finding the materials and ends with consecrating the tool. The tome is further supported with several color images of some of the author's very own creations. The aspiring Hermetic Magus would do well to purchase a copy of this book as even those inept at wood-carving would be able to follow its easy instructions. Kudos to the Cicero's for this excellent piece of work.
A must-have if you follow the Golden Dawn magical tradition.......2002-01-23
The path of western Hermetic magic is a path full of symbolism and a staggering amount of paraphernalia that has the intention of sending symbolic messages to the mind of the practitioner, a western mind that usually craves for lots of information in the form of colour, shapes, aromas... This wonderful book gives detailed instructions on building all of the implements of the elemental grades, the Portal grade, the Adeptus Minor grade, and also how to furnish your Outer Order Temple, a Crypt of the Adepts and the Adept's personal Temple. Not only does it give detailed and easy-to-follow instructions on building these implements, but includes explanations on the instrument's symbolism, and profound meditations to help you get attunded with the instrument's power and meaning. At the end of the book, several non-traditional, but useful instruments are included. I have made several of these myself, and can assure you they work very well. If you follow the Golden Dawn magical tradition either in a group or by yourself, you should have this book. Even more if by chance of destiny you have become the elder or leader or founder of a Ceremonial Hermetic Magical group, and you steer quite an amount of your magical peers' education, training, and inner work.
Next best thing to the temple.......2001-10-12
This thick and oversized volume eplains crafting and rituals, necessary information for the formation of a temple. Most of it over my head. An inset with color pictures of tablets and tools, a description of the appropriate energies associated and especially the description of the vault of the adeptii taken straight from the "The Golden Dawn" written by the late Mr. Israel Regardie. This book unlocks secrets for "outer" students and explains all those tools pictured in the tarot. Some rituals ar4e given to help understand the pack. Gives you a real grasp of the things required for the basic entry into the temple and also new directions to further your studies or a brief look at things that just aren't for you.
Brilliant!.......1999-11-07
An essential reference book on how to craft almost all of the golden dawn magical tools for ritual work-a rare find indeed.
Included are detailed instructions on correct painting schemes and correct sizes for each implement or accessory to make your Golden Dawn Temple as authentic looking as possible.
The tools and robes and other implements follow Israel regardies lineage of Golden dawn practice.
this book is a must for the Golden dawn practitioner or serious magical historian...
Book Description
This celebrated study — derived from Lockyer's belief that ancient Egyptian monuments were constructed "in strict relation to the stars" — explores the relationship between astronomy and architecture in the age of the pharaohs. The author addresses one of the many points already extensively investigated by Egyptologists: the chronology of the kings of Egypt.

Good, but Lost Star of Myth and Time is better.......2007-01-10
If you are interested in this book, you'll LOVE "Lost Star," by Cruttenden. You also might want to read Swami Sri Yukteswar's little book, "The Science of Religion," - even though it requires sustained concentration on every word. More accessible are related passages in Paramahansa's "Autobiography of a Yogi."
Book Description
The great legacy of the ancient Khmer civilization, the temples of Angkor, cover an area of 77 square miles in central Cambodia.

Don't Go Without It.......2002-08-13
I just returned from a week-long visit to Angor Wat and the surrounding temples and found this guide invaluable. It is concise and well-written, provides the historical background of the Khmer empire, and tells the visitor what to see and what he is seeing. I took the book with me everyday and feel that I would have missed a lot without it. It helped me to appreciate the spirit and beauty of the magnificent temples.
I wish that more books on ancient sites were as easy to understand and as helpful as this book. Anyone going to Angkor Wat should take this book with them.
Essential for Angkor.......2002-08-06
If I had to choose one item to take to Cambodia it would be the 4th edition of Dawn Rooney's book on Angkor. The background on the geography, religion, architecture, and cosmology in the first half of the book provides a wealth of information that will enhance anyone's trip to Angkor. The second half, grouped into ten recommended tours, details each temple by giving an overview of the site, the historical setting, and the layout, which in most cases is accompanied by a plan. Descriptions of the carvings are clearly written and add to one's enjoyment of the site. My only complaint is that Dawn Rooney didn't tell us more as she obviously loves Angkor and is most certainly one of the world's experts on the subject. I've read the book three times--before, during, and after my visit and, thinking about the lively narrative, good photographs, and comprehensive content, I may just read it again. I give this book five stars plus! Don't go to Angkor without it!
The author's facts are not of PhD caliber.......2002-04-03
The book is fully packed of information. But then could the PhD Dawn Rooney sources be trusted ? Dawn Rooney maybe written from a Thai perspective. She irrelevantly made many references of Khmer's words as Thai words. For example, on page 125 she wrote: " 'wat' is the Thai name for temple, which was probably added to Angkor..." [so it became 'Angkor Wat']. Also on page 180, refering to "Preah Khan" monument, she cited that it is a translated word from "Nagarajayacri" of Thai means "The City of Sacred Sword". Therefore, she seems to imply the monument Pheah Khan (which is about 1.25 miles north of Angkor Thom) was a Thai monument. Dawn Rooney is wrong on both of these instances. 'Wat' is and was always a Khmer word for temple or pagoda. And 'Preah Khan' always means sacred sword. Cambodia is rich of her own culture, tradition and language. It is the Thai who uses a lot of Cambodian words and modified them as their own language. The origin of Thai language, according to the research of UCLA Language Material Projects, published that it "has borrowed heavily" from Cambodian(Khmer) words.
The book is a fairly good reading but since Dawn Rooney did not get some of her facts straight, I wouldn't rate it for more than two stars.
If you are interested to learn about the Khmer and her ancestors who built Angkor, I found the French translated books are excellent sources. Most French authors are archaeologists or expeditors to Angkor Wat themselves. I highly recommend Claude Jacqes "Angkor : Cities and Temples" in which Michael Freeman's photographs are stunning!!
A good book, but not enough pictures.......2002-03-20
Being a tourist who visiting Angkor for the first time, I want to find good guide book I could rely on. I'm more interested to know brief histories or stories associate with the sites (monuments) that I visit as well. I picked up this book at the souvenir shack in front of Baphoun which is one of the temple at Angkor Thom. It is a good book. I found Dawn Rooney did a fairly nice job of describing the Angkorean historical aspects in the Khmer religion, art & architecture style and present day restoration/preservation of Angkor. I'm not a bit surprised because the author is a PhD in art history. But the major disturbing flaw I found with this book is that the description of each monument left me blind as to where or what monument she's writing about. The book lack of enough monument pictures that she describing. For example, what does Phimeanakas or Prasat Soor Prat look like? Rooney should have included at least one picture of each monument she's referencing to or otherwise tourists who use this book will have a hard time trying to guess where they are and what monuments they are looking at. The book is good to those who want to know brief background of each monument but dont't care what that each monument looks like.
Great guide book on Angkor with detailed information.......2001-06-04
Great book with wonderful contents about the ancient ruins of Angkor. I found it very interesting since the book because it contained maps and diagrams of the temples and their whole layout. Of the best was that of Angkor Wat which is very well known by the Khmer people. Great attention was paid to the writing on this book and I found that this book is essential for those who want to explore Angkor itself. Wonderful photographs of the ancient ruins discovered late last century. The book actually covers most of the temples in and surrounding Angkor including the wonderful temple of Banteay Srey which is still considered by many as the "jewel of Khmer art" because of it's dependly carved statues and for the rose coloured sandstone temple which dwarfs Angkor Wat but built several hundred years earlier. Yet spectacular in it's right and so is this book too... I give it the thumbs up and yes... soon the understand for Angkor and it's mystery will grow...
