Practical techniques to go along with Other Volumes

This should not be one's first book on magic(k), as others have stated. I DO think that a motivated novice could begin with the whole set of three books (Foundations of High Magic, The Sword and the Serpent, and this volume). In essence where the other two are theoretical, this adds practice. Part of the problem however, is defining a novice book on the subject. I generally think Francis King's "Techniques of High Magic" is a good primer, but this is at least as good as that book as it is far more comprehensive and the understanding of the authors is impeccable. The one thing that is lacking for a novice here is putting this all together into a curriculum for self-development. This is one area the book could be clearer. At the same time, the approach taken is a good one. This is a classic work (along with the other two mentioned in the first paragraph of this review) and is highly recommended.

Excellent!

Basically ststed, this book covers all the basics of cerremonial Magick. It is well written, covers the material in a readable fashion, and doeas a good job in conveying the message. Highly Recommended.

Complete course of magick (Classic)

This is a magical book. It is the real deal. Today's market is saturated magick books that repeat over and over the same ideas. This classic is complete and has ideas that are still fresh. It has a comprehensive section on Enochian magic. It has a very well organized system that will take a complete beginner to a level of deep understanding of high magick. It was writen for people who wanted the enlightenment of a magical lodge but wanted to be a solo practitioner. Bottom line if you are beginner or advanced this book is for you. It is a classic. If you are a ceremonial magican this is a book you need in your library.

Moonshadow

I agree with the other reviewer. NOT a novice book by any means. Excellent if you are already well studied in Magick. It was originally a set of five volumes. They have re-released the first three and are finishing the last two right now.

Powerfully educating, and excellent book of Magic

Primarily ceremonial magic, this book is very deep, and should be recommended to only the very advanced practitioner of magic. It is complex, and a good deal of it is written in the latin, and greek languages. It is NOT a single book either, it is a series of books, six I believe, which is an error. Highly recommended.
