[Taylor Ellwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of Gray's most intriguing books, wherein he lays down a lot of ideas about magic, introduces you to some amazing techniques and shows you what it is like to truly live your magic. It's a work of genius and if you're serious about your magic, you should read this book. Multiple times. It'll challenge you and help you grow in your spiritual practice.

I found this amongst a whole stash of mysticism books at Goodwill. I figured the previous owner either chose a different path, or else they achieved enlightenment and didn't need the manuals anymore. Magic(k) has always seemed too D&D to me, but this book looks like it puts things in pretty reasonable terms and makes sense.
