Essential
Essential reading reference for the serious/adept magician. For those seeking self-initiation and/or a study book to help with the vast and often complex material, then treat yourself to "Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn Tradition", by Chic Cicero. Using these two volumes together produces the ideal training system for those who are serious about the Work.

Great Book - Dry Read
A wealth of information. It assumes a degree of background understanding but, if you can persevere, contains all the information one could conceivably require to enter fully up to the middle levels of Ceremonial Magic. Dense. My only criticism would be that it will remain opaque for many. Yet that would be acceptable to many of those for whom its meaning unfolds. Thus though he reveals many mysteries and rents many veils for those with the eyes to see he also protects the same mysteries from those who would profane them. Love & Light & Lemniscates

Indispensable Reference!
This book is simply a must have for any Ceremonial Magician! While it is true that there are other paths in the world that practice High Ceremonial Magick, essentially all of them have borrowed in greater or lesser degrees from the Golden Dawn. This book includes all the initiations as practiced in the Temple of Stella Matutina, plus all of the original Knowledge Lectures that were given to the members in the Outer Order of the Golden Dawn. While most of this material has been published elsewhere, no where else has it been kept in as close to its original form as Regardie has preserved it, complete with lectures from W. Wynn Westcott and S.L. "MacGregor" Mathers. In other words, why have you been reading this essay rather then clicking on the "Add To My Shopping Cart" button?
