Customer Reviews

A Primer

Yes, this book is incomplete, it is a primer! And as such it will instill a set of values that will be useful throughout your career. Magic is not learned in a year, or a decade, but across a lifetime. This is a good book for that first decade. Have fun, enjoy.

An Author who writes for the people

I have brought books with an interest in magic/OccultismThis book was one of those books which was an pleasure to read.Some authors write books and it seems as if they were writing the books with no understanding that the reader has limitedunderstanding of the subject and buying to book to clarifyconcepts that are not understood . Hoping that the author will accomdate them. In this case mission was accomplished.It also contained added features which I did not expect.This book is great.

A treasure chest of knowledge!

This book is packed with information on occult techniques ranging from performing master rituals to astral projection to prophecy to amulets and talismans. This book was written by a genuine Welsh magician, using a pseudonym. He takes his subjects seriously but offers them to those who would use them, with the proper warnings given where appropriate. It's an excellent introduction to magic for a beginner and contains information that will be new to current practitioners.
