Magick Of Thelema, By Milo Duquette, Any Reviews? Options

93
Someone recently bought me, as a present, The magick of Thelema : a handbook of the rituals of Aleister Crowley by Lon Milo Duquette, hasn't arrived yet and I'm very excited about it, BUT, I would like to know if someone has read this book, is it any good?, what would be the greatest contribution and which are his faults or soft-points?, is there anything in particular that I should stay alert for?

Is it really a comprehensive guide to thelemic magick? (which often becomes confusing to me, with all those rituals and Liber this and Liber that).

I don't know, I guess my basic doubt is, what am I to expect from this book?

From someone who's been called crazy by L.M.D.

I will have to say that I, respectfully, disagree with those who have said that there is little to get from this book.

I disagree, because he says things that are beyond the "beginner" understanding level, in ways even on the intermediate level- and in other places, more advanced intimations are made.

One example of an advanced understanding is his explanation of the pentagram rituals where he reveals the secret of High Magick:

he says something to the affect of this act in nature producing a vacuum, and that, nature has a way of compensating for empty space (seeks to fill it with Something)

this is the Key to all Transcendental Magick.


If there's anything i've ever berated the guy for: it's for saying too much.


Then again: this is all a house of cards, no fear when the house gets blown down; we have been expecting it for time now.
