What non fictional book(s) do you recommend, and what are they about?

I'm looking to learn magick.

Black, white, grey, anything useful.

Hat book(s) do you recommend and what are they about? I'm looking for 'how to' books not generally about the subject. Books that actually work not really beginners books (I can find them easily).

What will blow me away?!?

Be careful- some of these spices can come
back to haunt you.

ETA: I got thinking of the difference between your headline and your OP. I don't think you can get there from where you seem to be. I suggest here a background material that "allows" at least the premise of certain types of "magic." This material is at least science-based.

The Conscious Universe By Dean Radin, 1997. The title says it all. Yep, it's been around for 20 years but so many people are more than 20 years behind the times. Radin, formerly of Princeton now works with the late Edgar Mitchell's organization the Institute of Noetic Sciences [[email protected]]. Works such as this does not come down the pike very often as his road is an alternate road disdained, distrusted and ignored by most consensus-thinking (materialistic) scientists.

South!!! by Sir Ernest Shackleton.

Google him. Nuff said.

Edited by Richard Metzger and Preface by Grant Morrison


This will teach you everything you need to know about the Occult and Magic(k). (And how most of it is drug fuelled nonsense.)
