Im gonna have an second opinion and say that this book is just awful. It will problary work for you if you are an christian fundamentalist open to scientific ideas that are hundreds of years outdated. But otherwise just stay clear of this crap.
If you are interested in witchcraft I whould recommend Paul Huson's Mastering Witchcraft. If you are more interested in things such as Lucid dreaming and Astral projection i whould recommend Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce and School of Out-of-Body Travel by Michael Raduga.
Another good beginners book would be "Magick Without Tears" by Aleister Crowley
No wait! . . . I wear a cool black robe and I have been known to chant!!!
Many ceremonial traditions of magic utilize special robes of some sort, though not many are actually black. There is also very little actual chanting in most rituals. Though there are words that need to be said precisely there is very little repetition that one would normally associate with chanting. I don't mean to sound indelicate but, a bit of preliminary research into such topics would go a long way for you. There are online archives full of PDF's of old magical texts which will give you the exact instructions for many ritual workings. You're questions aren't bad ones per say but, they highlight a fundamental misunderstanding of magical tradition with little effort on your part to find out the truth. One thing that many occultists value is the ability to do research and to learn on one's own to a point where one begins to ask intelligent questions.
I would strongly urge you to do a bit of independent research, get some of the fundamentals and then, armed with that knowledge, ask some really interesting questions and learn some really interesting answers.
I absolutely agree with this. Research is not only enjoyable and exciting - uncovering ancient and modern history, searching for clues about how things work and so on - but also thoroughly rewarding.
Not only that, it's important for you to reach your own conclusions on many things, as spiritualism and magic are very personal journeys and experiences. If you are just told what's what, it takes half the fun and the value out of it all
