    Default Book suggestions for the beginer

    Good Day, I hope this list of material helps. Most of which may be found online in .pdf format.

    Many of the books listed above are very very good. Reading and study is important. However Practice , practice, practice. And keep a record. toddlers crawl before they start running marathons. keep this in mind.

    Ladder of Lights by William G. Gray

    LIST OF BOOKS WRITTEN OR EDITED BY GARETH KNIGHT
    in date order of first publication

    A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism [1965]
    This is the first book I ever wrote. It analyses the Tree of Life in full detail, including the Paths that interconnect the Sephiroth with particular attention to their Tarot attributions. Originally published in two volumes it is now available in a single big paperback edition from Red Wheel Weiser – complete with an important new introduction which makes due apology for any errors or differences of perception that may have occurred over the forty years since it first appeared. As it stands it provides a snapshot of the Qabalistic teachings of the Society of the Inner Light as they were in 1962 which in effect are largely the work of Margaret Lumley Brown and other mediums who took over from the late Dion Fortune. My own contribution is largely on the symbolism of the Tarot. It was intended as a kind of supplement rather than a replacement for Dion Fortune's The Mystical Qabalah of the early thirties. It has given sterling service however, over the years, as a textbook for students of the Servants of the Light esoteric school, amongst others.

    too many to list here by that author...here is a link.

    One year Manual by Dr. Regardie

    I do not advise working with the Lesser Key of Solomon or even the Greater Key of Solomon...works of Evocation should by avoided until a very good practical grounding in occult science is achieved and a level head on your shoulders. As well as a healthy dose of PRACTICAL work performed and recorded in journals. Also...Enochian work I do not even work with as I do not concider myself either drawn to it or capable of dealing with a serious problem should one arrise. This bold admission says what... Do not work out of your depth! Trust me on this one.... you can burn your fingers just so many times touching the fire before you figure it out...Damn that stuff is HOT! Ouch!

    The Heroes Journey by Joseph Cambell

    Liber 0 This should be studied thoroughly.

    here are a couple sites where you may find some .pdfs

    Default Libers to be found at www.rahoorkhuit.net

    Liber Files from various Thelemic authors. The publications of the A:..A:. divide themselves into four classes.

    Class [A] consists of books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter: that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization.

    Class [B] consists of books or essays which are the result of ordinary scholarship, enlightened and earnest.

    Class [C] consists of matter which is to be regarded rather as suggestive than anything else.

    Class [D] consists of the Official Rituals and Instructions.

    Class [E] consists of manifestos, broadsides, epistles and other public statements.

    Some publications are composite, and pertain to more than one class.

    Default Out of the Shadows

    I'd probably recommend ...
    "Out of the Shadows; an exploration of dark paganism and magick" by John J. Coughlin. (Out of the Shadows - Preview)

    It might not be the best beginners book but its definately one I think most people on the spiritual path should read. Most defiantely if they choose a pagan path.

    It's about creating balance in your beliefs and practices, and looking at things from a different perspective. Definately a mind opener.

    Like any book you take what suits you and leave the rest, there is parts in it I do not agree with or use and other that really hit home.

    Some of my favourite part of the book...
    "Evil is a human term. It begins and ends with us. A tornado is not evil, yet it is distructive. Fire can be used to benifit or destroy it. Nature is neither good nor evil; it simply is. It follows no moral code and has no internal motive. Only humans, with our complicated set of emotions and intellect, can justify such categorizations."

    It depends on what you want to learn. I like Crowley even though if you don't know and understand that when he gives you rituals it isn't the whole ritual rather part of a ritual. I like Gardner, Cunningham, Buckland and Silver Raven Wolf too. I would say read read everything you can get your hands on. Look for the common message that the writers on a subject are saying whether it's about tarot, runes, astrology, Witchcraft, Golden Dawn rituals etc. Read it all and make your own decision.

    A book I'm thinking of buying is called The Golden Dawn which sparks interest since it also seems to be a valid source of information... I'm not actually very interested in spell books or any of sort, but actually something I can start with confterably. I'm just a beginer after all, and I'm only just starting to peek at these books.

    A few months ago I tried to look at the autobiography of Aleister Crowley but I succeeded in nothing. I also wanted to look for his novels, 'Moonchild', and 'Diary of a Drug Fiend' but I also found nothing. I found 'The book of lies', although sadly I couldn't buy it since I didn't knew I would be interested in it.

    If you are looking for a general magickal overview, some must haves are:
    The Golden Dawn- I. Regardie
    Liber AL Vel Legis- Aiwass through A. Crowley
    777, if interested in Quabalah, and if you intend to practice higher magick you should -A.Crowley
    Many, many grimories (some are garbage, its easy to tell by skimming) but some have been around forever.

    On Moonchild: when it comes to magickal references it is a book for advanced practitioners but can be enjoyed as entertainment by anyone. Look for Crowley's personality to come through in Simon Iff and sveral other characters

    OK, so you're a Laveyan Satanist (maybe? who knows, definitely a conspiracy theorist or something, been reading your posts and most make little sense) and I'm not. I don't insult you or LaVey, although i find him almost a comical figure, so why don't you not insult me, Crowley, Regardie, etc. To each their own as long as it works

    What, exactly, is your problem? I'm a "sheep" because I follow an occult system different than yours? One that works for me, gets results that I can see, so I stick with it.

    My mind is quite capable of reading posts, when they are written in proper English and spelled at least somewhat correctly. But I came here to read about and discuss magick, occultism in all its forms, etc, not argue with you, so you can bait me all you want, I'm done feeding the troll that somehow became a trial VIP member.
