This is a magical book. It is the real deal. Today's market is saturated magick books that repeat over and over the same ideas. This classic is complete and has ideas that are still fresh. It has a comprehensive section on Enochian magic. It has a very well organized system that will take a complete beginner to a level of deep understanding of high magick. It was writen for people who wanted the enlightenment of a magical lodge but wanted to be a solo practitioner. Bottom line if you are beginner or advanced this book is for you. It is a classic. If you are a ceremonial magican this is a book you need in your library.

Primarily ceremonial magic, this book is very deep, and should be recommended to only the very advanced practitioner of magic. It is complex, and a good deal of it is written in the latin, and greek languages. It is NOT a single book either, it is a series of books, six I believe, which is an error. Highly recommended.

This should not be one's first book on magic(k), as others have stated. I DO think that a motivated novice could begin with the whole set of three books (Foundations of High Magic, The Sword and the Serpent, and this volume). In essence where the other two are theoretical, this adds practice.

Part of the problem however, is defining a novice book on the subject. I generally think Francis King's "Techniques of High Magic" is a good primer, but this is at least as good as that book as it is far more comprehensive and the understanding of the authors is impeccable.

The one thing that is lacking for a novice here is putting this all together into a curriculum for self-development. This is one area the book could be clearer. At the same time, the approach taken is a good one.

This is a classic work (along with the other two mentioned in the first paragraph of this review) and is highly recommended.

I chose to buy this book because i knew it was a good one. And it is good. Although it's part of the "Magical Philosophy" series, i consider it a complete magickal manual by itself.
However, the quality of the print is nearly unacceptable. Muddy.. Not so pleasant to read and it's even difficult to distinguish small-sized symbols.

I wonder whether the printing quality of this book is really that bad or if i just received a "bad batch".
Your comments are welcome.

Basically ststed, this book covers all the basics of cerremonial Magick. It is well written, covers the material in a readable fashion, and doeas a good job in conveying the message. Highly Recommended.

I agree with the other reviewer. NOT a novice book by any means. Excellent if you are already well studied in Magick. It was originally a set of five volumes. They have re-released the first three and are finishing the last two right now.

Aurum Solis system resources back in print. An essential book at a great price.
