"Enter the Circle" is a collection of personal essays on how occultism has benefitted mental health and wellbeing for Davidson and Stone. Through careful examination and expression these essays will provide insight to the many ways both authors came to the realisation that mental health needn't be something to be ashamed of. The essays vary across a selection of literature from occult and Buddhist teachings, nonfiction and fiction, and other media. Both authors open up how they balance and maintain mental health through personal lessons and experience.

This was way more interesting, informative and uplifting than I had expected it to be. Davidson's part had more to do with accepting that one is what one is, and the entirety of that whole. However, her journey is not yet complete, so depression may one day no longer be a part of her. Stone's part was more clear cut and focused, which is in keeping with his status as an individual who achieved union with that which was desired, but previously absent from his existence. Both authors agree that treating depression is not simple, as it is not just a symptom, but the whole person, with all her/his dimensions, that must be addressed. Failure to approach depression holistically will very likely result in failure to alleviate depression.
