New Magus

I felt that this book was a good primer for those who are novice occult practicioners. I especially liked the cautionary emphasis regarding the consequences that certain activities would yield. This book points the magical initiate in the direction of spiritual growth and protection rather than the misuse of the divine spirit, for which I am personally grateful. The material contained within this book will require some study and cross-referencing, but overall it is a viable path to select for one's personal development as a magus.

I don't know why people tend to not like this book. It was given to me by my father when I was 13 and I fell madly in love with it! The Symbolism is beautifully overwhelming and it has helped me in ritual a lot! Donald Tyson is byfar an occult genius!
