The Alchemy of Finance (Wiley Investment Classics) 22 reviews
George Soros
Wiley, 2003
hard to follow
Honestly this book was hard to follow and I'm still not sure how Soros does it. He is an excellent thinker but I think this book was over the top for me.

Earth, Air, Fire & Water: More Techniques of Natural Magic (Llewellyn's Practical Magick Series) 63 reviews
Scott Cunningham
Llewellyn Publications, 2002
Connect with the Elements !
I adore Scott Cunningham's work, and EAF&W is no exception. Although I love EARTH POWER as well, I like that EAF&W has more techniques and really helps the reader to understand how natural things are affected, and in turn, affect the elements. I love Cunningham's ability to show the reader that magic doesn't really need 50 candles and some expensive oil to be magic - all we have to do is remember ...

Unlocking Harry Potter: Five Keys for the Serious Reader20 reviews
John Granger
Zossima Press, 2007
I'm a much more serious reader now
Very early in the book John Granger recalls Professor Moody's trunk with 7 locks. Each time Dumbledore inserts a key into a different lock the trunk opens and contains different items. This book is exactly like that trunk! I have read or listened to every Harry Potter book (except Phoenix) more times than I can count and yet each time that Granger brings out a new key my reaction was "I didn't ...

Modern Magick: Eleven Lessons in the High Magickal Arts (Llewellyn's High Magick)126 reviews
Donald Kraig
Llewellyn Publications, 2002
The best introduction I know
Just thought I'd mention how much I got out of this book and how valuable I feel it can be for the practicing magician.
After searching the bookshelves for well over a year and struggling to find techniques and theory about magick I was finally fortunate enough to come across this book. It totally goes against the grain of most occult literature.
It saved me years of research as the book ...

Michael Scott
Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2007
It's Harry Potter and the Percy Jackson series combined!
This book is amazing. I bought this book and I couldn't put it down. There is magic and Greek mythology. It grabs you and you constantly wonder what will happen next. The characters Josh and Sophie are easily relatable and are normal teenagers until they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. There is alot of action but it isn't action all the time and there is actually a real story and plot ...

In the Beginning Was the Word
Dr. Fred Alan Wolf has once again pricked our consciousness in order to awaken us to realities already within our grasp. In Mind Into Matter he explains in lay terms how thought transmutates into the material, and how we can therefore truly create not only our world, but the world we leave to our children.

The Structure of Magic II: A Book About Communication and Change (Book 2)6 reviews
John Grinder, Richard Bandler
Science and Behavior Books, 1975
Are you a mind reader?
If you are interested in knowing how psychiatrists effect life altering change, then this book is for you. As you may know, the authors modeled the life altering strategies of successful psychiatrists, such as Milton Erickson, Perls, and Virginia Satir.
I was rather intrigued, when reading this book to notice a strategy of Virginia Satir. In one of her dialogues with a patient, when the ...

Book of Lies41 reviews
Aleister Crowley
Weiser Books, 1986
One of Crowley's Best...
This is Crowley at everything Crowley does best. He mixes magick, mysticism, poetry, sarcasm, irony, and satire into a strange little book that is more like a puzzle than a traditional book of poems.
Perhaps difficult the first time through if one has no background in Thelema or Qabalah, but it is not the worst introducion one could have to Crowley. The copious footnotes help somewhat, but ...

I own two copies...
One copy is at my bedside. One copy is in my study scrawled with notes, quotes and notations! I found the second copy at a bookstore bargain table! I didn't even blink, it was bought by me. I knew a second copy would give me one to share. This book is what Kabbalah is. An amazing book. Simply, amazing.

Alchemy of the Heart6 reviews
Michael Brown
Namaste Pub Inc, 2008
A Jewel Box
As a stand alone or a companion to Michael Brown's "The Presence Process," this book is a jewel box of precious gems. "The Presence Process" is as important a discovery as Genpo Roshi's Big Mind, and if Ken Wilber is the Einstein of consciousness, Michael Brown is the Einstein of emotional body awareness. "Alchemy of the Heart" provides substantial inner nutrition for anyone undertaking the ...

Contemporary scholarship at its finest.

In this excellent work of historiography/history, Jacobson explores the American conception of racial "whiteness" and how it has changed over time. This book won virtually every major scholarly award in 1999, most notably the American Studies Association's Award for the best book dealing with American istory and ...

The Alchemy Of Stone1 review
Ekaterina Sedia
Prime Books, 2008
Very much enjoyed Alchemy of Stone
The Alchemy of Stone pulled me in from page one and never let me go. Mattie is a mechanical girl who works as an alchemist. That alone would be enough to hook me. Watching her complicated relationship with her creator unfold was by turns sweet and painful. I highly recommend this book.
