'Real Magick' is a little hard to define and particularly cater to without a few extra details.

So, a few questions for you to help me provide you with something more suitable:

- Are you religious in any way? And if so what religion do you practice?
- Do you believe in a Greater Power such as God?
- Do you believe in the influence of spirits/powers that cause Magick.
- Alternatively do you feel that Magick is a product of chanelling neutral energies which can either be internal or external.
- And I think most importantly, what are you trying to get from the use of Magick?

In that case I would reccomend you look into a lot of the traditional occult practices such as those refined by the Golden Dawn.

If you are a Christian I think the key word here would be Hermetics, this form of magick is heavily based on Judo-Christian mythology and practice and will contain a lot of symbolism and work that, although you probably won't be familliar with, is very heavily linked with Christian teachings.

Franz Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics (
www.amazon.com...=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1218286503&sr=8-1) is often touted as a very solid place to begin learning about the occult and so you should definately think of looking up a copy of that if possible.

As mentioned previously the Solomonic system in addition to a lot of the Traditional Grimoires also come from a very Christian ceremonial magick perspective.

(www.sacred-texts.com...) Is a very good resource for a lot of the traditional Grimoire's if you'd like a read of them. If you want stuff specifically on the Golden Dawn there's lots of material out there on torrents and archive websites. (www.hermetics.org...)


Other than this there's not really much I can point you straight to, Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org...) as always is a good starting point to get a good overview of the basic principles. You can also have a look at the other mainstream forms of magic there as well.

Hope that helps.
