2.0�toiles sur 5 Interesting, But Painful and Dry to Read, D�c 19 2006

Par	Nikkoli "Nik" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires

If you consider yourself a casual reader, who is looking for a digestible source of information on this topic, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU. Although an interesting topic, worth reading about, this book is immensely dry, difficult to decode, and outright convoluted. Shakespeare is easier to read and understand (and I dare say enjoy) than this.

This review is from: Book Of Ceremonal Magic (Paperback)

This is not a grimoire of interesting spells. Rather it comprises Waite's Book of Black Magic and various other essays on the history of magick. If you're looking for a reference guide, this is an interesting book, and I think that any magician would do well to own a copy, but it's really not that practical. Get something by Crowley instead.

Par	Frater AChDAE (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Book Of Ceremonal Magic (Paperback)

Waite never meant to make this book practical in any sense; instead, he sought to create a reference book. For those interested in Magickal Grimoires, but without the intent to practice from them, this book is a great souce-book. It includes snippets of (and commentary on) various medieval Grimoires, for the edification of the curious.

Though at times, rather harsh in his judgments of Magick in general, and the Golden Dawn system specifically, he does provide a good deal of information in one package.
