Gotta get the new translation of The Book of Abramelin....
it fucking rocks.....
In the text itself it is so much more clear than Mathers THEE and THOU woo woo formalities translation....
I don't know that I would suggest doing the work as it is described in the book
but I think it is more than a legit argument that the heart and center of magick is contacting your
higher self (holy guardian angel)

much of what is described in the book NEEDS to be looked at metaphorically and it becomes much more clear...
on the other hand it is so simple and clear just as is.

ONE OF THE MOST influencial magickal books EVER written and with just cause.
Should be a part of every serious students library.

thanks for the recomendations! yes i see some of these writings posted on line however it is not really convenient to read lengthy text on the internet. A book in my library, however, can be referred to again and again and read anywhere. i do prefer a book to on line text. With this in mind how do you feel about eliphus levi's contributions? enochian magick by crowley was also suggested. anybody else like this book?
