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. -------------------- "DARE TO BE WISE" The Enigma League

I never completed the course, but I got a lot out of it anyway. Definitely talismans are important for mages. I don't like his use of Enochian later in the book. I think the other book to get with this one is the Magician's Workbook by Tyson. c2-c4 This post has been edited by sithhunter: Oct 28 2006, 07:42 PM -------------------- You enter into the gibbering madness, the attack of alien forces so bizarre and profane that it stains your soul, and you exit into the next world a stronger man.

I've paged through it thought it looked interesting, but it didn't look like he gave much theory. As for Enochian check out Tyson's Enochian for Beginners.

Redhand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wizard.gif) The Magician's Workbook is short on theory, but draws extensively from Crowley and Regardie's beginner exercises to provide a somewhat more complete... "initiatory experience" than Modern Magick does. I really recommend the exercise where you note down every time you say "I", although I think a rubber band on the wrist is better than a tally. I like that one a lot. I don't like Tyson as a rule... but then again, I can't get Enochian right either and I've been studying the original texts for a while. I'm sure Tyson has too. Definitely something hidden in there. -------------------- You enter into the gibbering madness, the attack of alien forces so bizarre and profane that it stains your soul, and you exit into the next world a stronger man.
