Magick 101 (16 books)

This list features introductory level workbooks for new magick practioners. The idea is that someone with absolutely no background knowledge can pick any of these and rely solely on it for the beginning stages on their path. (While of course reading other books, which could be more theoretical or go deeper into topics they're especially interested in.)
