Thought I'm gonna post the first thread here and share my collections and reviews.
Aleister Crowley's Illustrated Goetia: Sexual EvocationNothing new, and I kinda regret buying it. But it is a good refference book when I want to quickly browse the goetic spirits without having to load the Adobe.
Astral DynamicsGreat book on AP - I haven't quite finish it but I already got my body to vibrate and getting closer and closer to OBE.
Basic Magick: A Practical Guide It's what it says - Basic - it however a very good intro and will be suitable for someone who have not read anything much yet.
Mysteria Magica: Fundamental Techniques of High MagickGreek and hebrew magick here - not suitable for beginners - it has a LOT of rituals and a lot of "barbarous" words.
Liber Null & PsychonautWell, the library has the practical part converted (liber MMM) and the rest of the book deals mostly with principles and philosophies of Chaos Magick. Good addition to my collection.
Stealing the Fire from HeavenOne of those good book and a must have for Chaos Magick. Interesting read.
Circles of Power: Ritual Magic in the Western TraditionA great intro and intermediate material on Golden Dawn system magick - I only skimmed it so far, but this one is a must have.
Modern Magick: Eleven Lessons in the High Magickal ArtsDefinitely a MUST have. nuff said (IMG:

My Life With the Spirits: The Adventures of a Modern Magician One of my favorite book! Hillarious and fun to read about the biography of Lon Milo DuQuette and his HILLARIOUSLY FUNNY experience evoking the Goetic demon Orobas.
The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford: Dilettante's Guide to What You Do and Do Not Know to Become a Qabalist O o - my first book on the Qabalah I've ever finished to read - This is another of DuQuette's book - a hillarious one on that too - great book when you know nothing much about the Qabalah.
The Black Arts I like this book. Actually I LOVE it. I used it as refference and I occasionally read this when I need a refresher of some historical accounts and systems of magick.
The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power Good combo between ceremonial magick and NLP - haven't finish reading it yet.
Creating Magickal Entities : A Complete Guide to Entity Creation This is a good book on servitor - at least for me - it get me started in creating my first servitor (in progress now) and it does give's a some ideas not found on the net - yet that I know of.
Ceremonial Magic & The Power of Evocation: A System of Personal Power Wow! This is a "modern" grimoire. The author talks about the Heptameron and about what you "should" do to evoke to FULL physical manifestation.
The Secret Teachings of All Ages Good resource book on ancient magick.
Cicero's Golden Dawn Magical Tarot I was looking for Hermetic tarot deck, but they are out of print, so this was the second choice - I like it (IMG:

Dark Mirror of Magick, 2nd EditionGives me an idea how Poke Ruyon conducted his evocation. I wouldn't care about the Vassago prophecy also contained in it.
and two books of Regardie's I haven't been able to understand yet
