5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to magickal practice, May 12, 2003
By N. Jacobs (Fish Creek, Wi USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book covers everything that a true practitioner must know when approaching magick. The first half of the book is highly informative, and helps you cover all the bases in creating the proper mood sets as well as enviroment for your work. The second half contains several of the most important magickal rituals of Thelema, the most important being the Star Ruby banishing. If you are interested in the Occult at all, or are a magick practioner, GET THIS BOOK. You will not regret it. I have two of Crowley's other books, and they're a bit difficult to digest, but this is very smooth reading. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR BEGINNERS NOR THOSE EASILY BORED, August 6, 2003
By W. ADAM MANDELBAUM (NY United States) - See all my reviews
Crowley's magnum opus of magic would be much better understood by a reader with a rather thorough background of Crowley's life, works, and vices. The introduction, however, is sensible reading for all who wish to tread the path of ceremonial magick. The rest of the book, while nourishing for would be [and actual] Thelemites, is certainly not to be taken as anything except the Gospel According to Aleister Crowley. If you are not into Crowleyanity, you'd probably be much better served by Franz Bardon in his Initiation Into Hermetics. More practical exercises, less bad poetry.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aleister Crowley Revealed, September 5, 2000
In "MAGICK in theory and practice" Aleister Crowley reveals his magick, rituals, recollections, and opinions.

Crowley's recollections and opinions provide important insights. Examples include: "Before I touched my teens, I was already aware that I was THE BEAST whose number is 666."; "It is only the romantic mediaeval perversion of science that represents young women as partaking in witchcraft, which is, properly speaking, restricted to the use of such women as are no longer women in the Magical sense of the word, because they are no longer capable of corresponding to the formula of the male, and are therefore neuter rather than feminine ... "; "The Book of the Dead contains many chapters intended to enable the magical entity of a man who is dead ... to take on the form of certain animals ... and in such form to go about the earth 'taking his pleasure among the living'.".

Crowley also lists and describes the Libers, his numbered works to which he refers often in his other writings. Selected Libers are reprinted within this book. This is a very useful reference.

"MAGICK ..." is a seminal work for any student of Aleister Crowley. It is must reading for anyone interested in Magick.
