Here's some books that I've found helpful or interesting in one way or another.

Magical Theory & Practice:

"Postmodern Magic" by Patrick Dunn
"Book of Lies: The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult" by Richard Metzger & More
"The Magician's Companion" by Bill Whitcomb

Off-Topic, but Relevant:

"The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell
The Collected Works of Carl Jung

Fiction:

"His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susan Clarke
"The Ropemaker" by Peter Dickinson

Check out the thread "First steps in CM" in the Ceremonial Magick forum of this site. In it I give a good list to get you started as well as another member gives key Thelema texts. They both are a good place to start.

Also Crowley gives many lists of books in Magick and Theory and Practice as well as Liber E.

Oh the magickal encyclopedia of herbs is great. I've used it in the woods when gathering herbs, so I can also testify that the pics are very helpful too. Cunninghams encyclopedia of crystals and gems is also very helpful.

Donald Michael Kraigs book 'Modern Magick' is also a must. I absolutely love that book (and if you saw the condition of the book you'd agree LOL!)

The Three books by H. C. Agrippa.

Franz Bardon's works (minus Frabato and Memories) are invaluable especially to those wanting non-ritualized work. Also anything by Rawn Clark is great supplementary for F.B.

Paul Foster Case has some really great works such as, The Tarot, The Book of Tokens, The True and Invisible Rosicrucian Order, etc.

Just last month I finished reading a very fascinating book by David Allen Hulse titled New Dimensions for the Cube of Space. I haven't seen many people talking about it, but it gives an outstanding view of the cube and its relationship with the 22 tarot keys from the B.O.T.A. deck. It shows the complete journey of the soul around the cube, and in the back it has a little tear out cube that you can fold together to help use a follow along guide as you read.

Magick for Beginners' is a godd one to start out, its by J.H. Brennan

Earth Magick is one of my favorite titles

The classic that's been with me for thirty plus years: MAGICK IN THEORY AND PRACTICE (Crowley). Book of Thoth (Crowley). Had both forever, still refer to them weekly, especially for correspondences.

MODERN MAGICK by Kraig was a great beginner book way back when (I have a battered first edition). I like a lot of (actually most of Lon Milo DuQuette.
