Review: Sufi Symbols - Great book for spirituality Review: Packed with fascinating information - This little book takes serious students of the Enneagram to a whole new level. I've learned a lot about the Enneagram's history and its relationship to Astrology and sacred geometry. While I found some of the details complicated, I was relieved to get away from the 'pop psychology' presentations of the Enneagram that omit the wider applications of this beautiful mathematical system and are, unfortunately, so common in the West.
