I just read Modern Magick by Donald Kraig. I found it to be very informative and a good beginers book that can take you to more advanced forms of magick also a good review for more seasoned practioners. Of course they are Mr. Kraig's own views and style, I do believe anyone interested in CM could get something out of it. I'm intersted in others view's on the subject.

I agree completely. Modern Magick is a great place to start for any aspiring Ceremonialist.

I don't agree with Kraig on everything he says in the book but I think the book succeeds in its aim to allow the student to pick up and understand most other magickal books after studying Modern Magick.

It's strengths are that it puts everything into context nicely and it explains the history and meaning (as well as gives very detailed instructions on the execution) of many of the popular rituals today. Its weakness is that it is a little too white-light-new-agey for me, but that just might be a personal opinion.
