Modern Magick Options

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.

Well, that's why through out the book Kraig said, "Think for yourself, question authority." He even meant himself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I loved the book. I read it through 3 times and still refer to it when I need something brushed up on or just to double check something. He brings magick out in a way that EVERYONE can understand, thus why I really liked the book. When I first started magick a friend of mine had the book. I borrowed it from him and tried reading it (This was YEARS ago). I couldn't make heads or tails of it and actually found it boring. Then, about a year later after I had read some basic stuff on magick I felt it was time I could tackle that big blue book. And tell you what, it's been a fav ever since. I'm actually fond of lesson 7, making and designing your own talismans. I still use that system, I've modified it to my own needs, but I still follow his general guidelines.
