5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Information!, February 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Understanding Chaos Magic (Paperback)

With Chaos Magic books being still rather rare, this is possibly one of the most essential of the bunch as it gives some history and perspective on what it is all about without all the hype that traverses the e-lists. Can't wait to see what else this author writes, her Spirits of the Elements series has loads on practical magic and I heard that she was working on another Chaos book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book if you have no clue about chaos magic..., June 14, 2003

"silene138" (Tampa-the hottest part of Hell) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Understanding Chaos Magic (Paperback)

Okay, I am probably too advanced for this book, having already read all of Phil Hine, Kenneth Grant, and Peter Carroll. I would only recommend it if you are very new to chaos magic, so new that you don't know who Austin Spare is at all, or the basic tenents of chaos magic--which are study all systems, take what works for you, and hit the delete key on what doesn't. Chaos magic is wonderful, it allows you to be free to practice whatever gets results (don't you wish everything in this world was that simple?). I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who is already advanced through at least 1 magical system, it is strictly a beginner's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, April 26, 2001

Bruce (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Understanding Chaos Magic (Paperback)

I found this book to be a clear and concise work on what chaos magick means. Chaos science is explained in understandable terms and related to magickal practice. The background I got from this book has been very important.

It's not a cookbook or workbook, though. You still have to think for yourself!
