5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and Useful, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Simplified Magic: A Beginner's Guide to the New Age Quabala (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

Many books on the market today are all about wasting time and going on a tangent that the reader doesn't even understand yet. This book is really straight-forward, honest, and sincere. Putting the ideas in a small bite that the reader can understand, especially if they are a new comer to the realm of magick.

Ted takes the reader and explains things in a light that is easily understandable and fun to read. This would be an excellent primer to reading any other works by Mathers, Crowley, and Fortune.

This review is from: Simplified Magic: A Beginner's Guide to the New Age Quabala (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

As long as you realize that this book is geared towards people with little or no understanding of the Qabala, you will understand why I gave it such a good rating. It is easy to comprehend and follow. This is a great book to read, especially before researching some of the harder-to-read works on this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE LITTLE BOOK THAT IS TRUE TO ITS TITLE, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Simplified Magic: A Beginner's Guide to the New Age Quabala (Llewellyn's new age series) (Paperback)

I had always been intrigued by the qabala, but found all the books on the subject too daunting to keep me interested. So when I came upon this little book in the New Age shelf at Scribners I was sold after just a brief look. I finally understood what qabala is! As a previous reviewer stated, the exercises really work. Therefore, I must warn any casual dabblers out there - this is not a game! If you are interested in the subject, by all means read on and enjoy the book, however do not attempt to practice its principles unless you are a serious student. Approach the practice with seriousness and reverence or you may find yourself in a predicament not unlike that of Pandora!
