I originally read this for my apprentices and I was truly amazed to find myself completely hooked!

Oberon Zell-Ravenheart is like a modern-day Merlin. However, I must admit that I found some of his perspectives to be outright false. For example, when he described "The Big Bang" as a "creationist theory" and believed that it postulated the universe came from one giant explosion, I couldn't help but cringe. But then again, it's forgivable as a pen can easily cross out that silly little excerpt. =)

Putting aside that and some of the 2012 b.s., this book is truly a phenomenon. It is a PHENOMENAL book that excels in its coverage of Magik. It is filled to the brim with various projects and practices. There are great exercises for just about every aspect of Magik. And we all know that in the world of Magik, exercises are far more important than philosophies. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Magik.

Silly


Silly is a word that can have different meanings and interpretations. It can refer to someone who is lacking in common sense or intelligence, making foolish decisions or doing things that seem senseless. However, being silly can also have a positive side. It can bring a sense of lightheartedness and fun to a situation. Sometimes, being a little silly allows us to let go of our inhibitions and just enjoy the moment. It can also be a way to connect with others and create memories. We all have our silly moments, and while they may make us look a bit foolish at times, they are also a part of what makes us human. So, the next time you find yourself being silly, don't be too hard on yourself. Embrace it and have some fun!

I just received this book in the mail today.

I have to say it is almost overwhelming. The reason is that it is so packed full of information.

It is truly a work/study book. The topics and chapters cover a wide range. It includes discussions on wizards and fairies, nature spirits and elementals, many forms of ritual and ceremonial magick, as well as spiritual meditations and divination techniques.

This may very well be the only magic reference book you will ever need on your bookshelf.

I am extremely excited to work through this book.

One thing is for sure, this one will definitely require a pen and notebook for note taking.

I can't wait to explore all the wonderful knowledge and mysteries that this book has to offer.

It seems like it will be a truly fascinating journey of discovery.

I'm looking forward to seeing what I can learn and how it will enhance my understanding of the magical world.

I truly adore this book.

I have dedicated myself to doing everything that is written within its pages and have even gone beyond that by continuing my studies independently.

This remarkable book has not only opened up the realm of standard ritual and history but has also unveiled a plethora of other fascinating subjects.

It has introduced me to the wonders of science, the intricacies of math, the mysteries of conjury, the art of story telling, and the vastness of the cosmos.

In fact, there are a total of 12 - 14 subjects that I am continuously exploring and delving deeper into.

Each new discovery within these pages has been like a precious gem, adding to the richness of my knowledge and understanding.

I am forever grateful to have come across this book and look forward to many more adventures of learning and exploration as I continue to study its contents.
