I read this a LONG time ago (16 or 18 years), and it was really the first occult/new age book I picked up. I remember enjoying it, but I also remember it being a bit more structure than I was comfortable with. But there were techniques in it I've internalized, and it was an effective introduction to the whole arena.
Good entry-level sorcerer's handbook. Cuts through the B.S. & gets down to the brass tacks. Handful of step-by-step lessons lay occult practices bare. Author can be a bit pretentious, but wealth of info makes it worthwhile. Follow with "Sefer Yetzirah" by Kaplan for more history & practical info.
