Enochian Magic For Beginners

This is a good book, it gives you a background of when Enochian Magic was reintroduced and the concepts needed to understand it.

Excellent Value For The Experienced

This Book is EXCELLENT VALUE and a grimoire of the lost angel magic. However it contains very complex ritual magic to summon the angels and therefore not fitted for the 'TOTALLY NEW BEGINNER'in magic. But it is a great book 'TO BEGIN' with angel magic for the experienced magician...

A useful textbook to accompany the original material

Donald Tyson is a respected author who has devoted a fair amount of his life to the mastery of every known branch of ritual magic. While his conclusions are largely in the form of personal insight, he provides a large amount of research to back up his theories and conclusions. What I, personally, find useful, is his commentary on the golden dawn version of enochian magic, compared to what we now know is the full cycle of text (much of which was unknown to the founders of the GD when they created their "most perfect system of magic"). He provides bibliographic references, allowing the reader to peruse the same texts for themselves, and is always careful to note when a remark is based on some bit of cannonical text, or his own experience and insight.This book does not stand alone, however. I would suggest, at the very least, also having Causabon's "A True and Faithful Relation" and Laycock's "Enochian Dictionary" as supplimental material to use with this book. If, however, you truly wish to understand the depth and potential of Enochian magic, this book is a highly useful platform to begin from.

Necessity

I thought this book was excellent. It's a must read/great reference for the serious student of the western mystic tradition.My only caution would be to be careful. This isnt really "paperback" kind of material, and Im not sure about the wisdom of making it so public.

Capably fulfills its promise.

This is one of the best books overall, and possibly the only truly introductory book written, on Enochian magic as it was presented to Dee and Kelly. Tyson's scholarship is particularly gratifying when compared to other authors in the field; unlike some writers, he avoids misrepresenting his sources and clearly labels his own conjectures and theories as such.
