I just bought this book today, and I was wondering what anyone knew about it. It seems to be decent, from me just flipping through it, but i was curious wether anyone has read it before and could offer some feedback.

Very nicley bound as well.

Thanks
Tiac

I have it. Its not too bad . . . although there are a few VERY significant issues. His Wand / Dagger have Fire / Air switched between them . . . (this is a common mistake made by one who have more pagan experience then ceremonial) . . . but it could be that he actually practices that way. (I personally like the coordinance better myself)
He has some minor adaptations/changes to his pentagram and hexagram rituals . . . there not bad (again, sorta nice) . . but not 'standard' .
Otherwise, I kinda like the book. He's really packed a bunch of different schools-of-thought / paradigms into a small book . . . but not with the worst blending.

Its basic and introductory material. . . and no secrets. But i still like it. (plus, its nicely binded)
Just don't let it be your only book on the subject(s) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's a rather sweet little book.

By some strange serendipity,kismet,fate or grace,I found out that I was at university with the author.I had no idea at the time hewas a practising alchemist...

At least he has practical experience as a working occultist....
