A Classic for Beginners
"Techniques of High Magic - A Handbook of Divination, Alchemy, and the Evocation of Spirits" has been around for a quarter of a century placing it in the category of a 'classic' in its own time. In an increasingly fickle market where many beginners books come and go, "Techniques of High Magic" has managed to hold its own. While the authors present little material that is original, most of ...

Awesome!
Awesome! I give this book ten stars. Never Be Fat Again has got to be the best book on weight control ever written. I keep going on diets and the pounds keep coming back. For so many years I have tried to lose weight only to lose and regain the same 25 pounds over and over while gaining more weight every year. For the first time I now understand why diets don't work, and how to lose weight ...

James Papadakis
The late Francis King in this book does an excellent work translating the Eastern tantra into Western ritual magic. Noone before him attempted such a serious effort (except maybe J Evola in his "Yoga of Power" [ASIN:0892813687 The Yoga of Power: Tantra, Shakti, and the Secret Way]but this was rather a digestion and a summary of the tantras). Francis' great scholarship is obvious in this greatly ...

Tall tales and true fables?
Clarence King sure knows how to tell a good story. Whether they are true stories, well that's for you to decide. But really, it doesn't matter. You'll read of him dangling from the edge of great cliffs and running from wild west bandits, all the while keeping the reader wondering how he'll ever live to tell the tale. Overall the book is a collection of stories by a man who loved the Sierra ...

A great book for predictions
I saw a TV show about 6 months ago on Nostradamus and was very interested in the whole idea that someone who lived so long ago could predict things so far into the future. This book brings to life his predictions and I strongly recommend it if you like a book thats extremely interesting and a little frightening. You can interpret how you like his "fulfilled" predictions, but whether you believe ...
The Winding Stair: Francis Bacon, His Rise and Fall (Virago Modern Classics)

“All rising to great place is by a winding stair,” wrote Sir Francis Bacon. It wasn’t until he was 45 that Bacon’s feet found the first step on that staircase, when King James I made him Solicitor-General, from where he rose through the ranks to become Lord Chancellor. Many accounts of the life of Sir Francis Bacon have been written for scholars, but du Maurier’s aim was to paint a vivid portrait of this remarkable ...

Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) has been seen variously as a man of notorious sexual habits, a satanic occultist, and latterly an icon of the 1960s love generation. He was the synthesizer of what he termed "Magick," a system of occult philosophy and technique outlined in such classic texts as The Book of the Law and Magick in Theory and Practice . Crowley's vision combined clarity, intellectual power,and a strange, sometimes frightening beauty. ...
