I remember smuggling this book into the house when I was in my teens as my mum didn't like my interest in the occult. Having read this I then went on to locate other, more advanced materials, this was a good beginner's introduction to the many aspects of the occult. ( ) I believe this was one of the first truly occult type book I read some 20-25 years ago. You will not get alot of depth but you will get a broad brush treatment of information to give you a fairly decent overview of the magickal arts. No this is not the fluffy llewyllen stuff but the grimoire type magick with insights into astrology and numerology, cabala and ritual magick. Like I said it is enough to get a taste but not enough to do anything with it. A good starter book. no reviews | add a review
