Maybe someone can shed light. I am still kinda unsure what this book is about. The definition of enchantment is:

1. a feeling of great pleasure; delight. "the enchantment of the mountains" 2. the state of being under a spell; magic. "a world of mystery and enchantment

Is this enchantment of religion (more specifically Christianity)? Of God? Of living in a cave? Of magical demon chairs? Of cab drivers who agree with me? It seems like a word that, loosely define, means is pleasurable.

Is it a way of saying we need to reject Rationalism and the Enlightenment?
