    If you start out with something complicated it makes the learning curve a little easier later on down the road. Assuming that you actually understand what you're reading of course... Wouldn't you agree??

    The problem with Crowley is Crowley didn't understand some of what he was writing about. I like Crowley and his philosophy and magical system but, there are many many things he is simply wrong about. Now it could be argued that the errors are blinds but, it is as equally likely that he didn't know what he was talking about. The LBRP is just full of inconsistencies in the god names and the elemental correspondences. So I wouldn't say Crowley is a good place to start. Crowley is a good place to go after you have done your other training and research so you can distinguish what is misinformation form what is good information, and he does have a lot of good information presented in innovative new ways even if the information itself is thousands of years old.

    When it comes to Crowley the obvious first MUST READ is Liber Al Vel Legis aka The Book Of The Law. Also reccommended: Magick Without Tears, 777, Book Four. For a glimpse of his personality so you can better understand the man behind the works, check out The Book of Lies, or one of his fictional novels (they all contain magickal instruction as well) such as Diary of a Drug Fiend and Moonchild (Moonchild recommended for advanced Cowley readers only)
