The author of "Modern Magick "gives instructions on how to do real magick along with a relaxation exercise and correct pronunciation of difficult magickal words.
This book started it all for me. I believe there is no better book for beginners than this book. There are SO MANY books that don't relay information correctly and are side-shows, not real magick. Donald Michael Kraig on the other hand obviously knows his stuff because his rituals work for me. He explains easy and comprehensive steps in casting each ritual. Magick is not mystical; it is science in practice. Science of elementals and use of the mind. The universe is comprised mentally, so everything can be done tapping into mental abilities. Elementals just help in your actions. They are from the 2nd density, where nothing is either "good" or "evil", they simple are a tool for the 3rd density being, you.
This is a scary book to say the least. It is a book of spells of supposed "white" magic. But he does say that white magic can turn to grey and even can turn to black magic. Some things are better left undiscovered.
