PENETRATING AND LUCID
Lon DuQuette, once again, provides the practicing Thelemite with solid and insightful commentary on some of those 'particularly thelemic' rituals. His affable manner and sense of humor are refreshing, and a nice change of pace from the usual heavy, almost 'holier-than-thou' perspective I get from some others tackling the phenomena of Crowley. Lon gives you the feeling that he's 'been there, done that', as clearly, he has.His forte, however, is making Crowley's sometimes complex ritual working, understandable. Not only in the practical sense, but also from an intellectual one. Not an easy task. Lon DuQuette's books have enriched my Thelemic experience greatly.

Also recommended: Like to tackle Enochian but a little put off by its apparent complexity? Read DuQuette & Hyatt's 'Enochian Sex Magick'. It broke the 'code' for me after several others failed.

Crowley made readable!
I'll be honest...I am not a ceremonialist, and frankly I never hope to be one. But be that as it may, anyone worth their weight in dirt magically (at least who follows any Western tradition) needs to be acquainted with the Banishing Rituals, and some other basics. And this is, in my opinion, the best introduction to them out there. He is actually able to EXPLAIN all those Crowleyisms that may have kept you from dabbling until now.

Want to be just like Aleister Crowley,...here's your chance.
Sex Magick was always one of my biggest interests. If your interested in that and other magic rituals, read this book. It's a better, and more accurate book on the magical arts than i thought it would be. This book includes several magical rituals for the experienced to try. (some advise) if your not experienced, do not buy this just yet. Invest in beginner books.
