As with all of the Cicero's works, I am very pleased with it. Although I am not a member of any Golden Dawn lodge, I do incorporate their ritual and beliefs into my magickal workings. Within this book, you will find several rituals, from pathworking the Kabbalistic Tree of Life to an Invocation of Thooth/Thoth. All of these rituals do incorporate the tools created within thier complement to the book, The Magician's Craft, but it is not absolutely necessary. Although I do recommend their complement book, it stands alone as a useful book for both reference and magickal use.

This is an abbreviated version of the book "Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple" by the Ciceros. This book is newer and doesn't have the instructions on how to actually make the tools. It is just a guide on how to use them. So if you already have Secrets, you don't need this volume.

If your a Golden Dawn student how many times have you wondered how to make some of the tools and implements featured in other books. This book is down to earth with an anyone can do attitude. Im pleased with the ciceros work. I would recommend this highly.

This is a great compliment to the Cicero's other book listed above. It gives meditations and rituals to go with all the tools created in "Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple". It even gives meditations on such things as the nemyss and the Tau robe. "Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple" is hands down the best book on creating the tools of the Golden Dawn. For the magician who wants the beautiful tools of this tradition, "Ritual Use of Magical Tools" gives the meditations and consecrations which continue to implement the tools into the magicians consciousness. Instead of most authors which just give the creation directions, this book gives exercises to enable the tool to become what it is meant to be... the extension of the magicians various faculties.
