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

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy pocket guide to the Qabala, December 15, 1999

By	Christobel (California, USA) - See all my reviews

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

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!
