Book Discussion Share your MUST HAVES

[Kronus]

Hey guys

I thought it would be cool to see your must haves. Share a top 5 of books that have inspires you or taken your craft to the next level.

 

[SkullTraill]

My top 5 would undoubtedly be reference books simply because I'd rather have the tools I need to create my own magick than a few books in a few different systems.

Complete Magicians Tables for sure... I'll have to think about the rest...

 

[hungry_ghost]

An Unfolding of Physis
The Sinister Tradition
Hostia
Revolt Against the Modern World
The Impeachment of Man

 

[Jk666]

Qliphotic meditations
rituals of pleasure
condensed chaos magic

 

[Mider2009]

Probably some kabbalistic texts I can’t get in English

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

The Magus, or The Celestial Intelligencer by Barrett
Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Agrippa/Tyson
The Golden Dawn by Regardie (Black Brick edition)
Candle Burning Rituals and Spellbook for Good and Evil by Rivas
Liber 777/Complte Magicians Tables

The Master Book of Psalms
The Book of Prayer
(both by Jean Kent)

I've used the Master Book of Palms more often and it works wonders. I like how it gives passcodes and meditations to make the prayers more effective.

 

[Diluculo_DelFuego]

In terms of Mysticism,
Heindel - Teachings of an Initiate
Bailey - A Treatise on White Magic
Fortune - Mystical Qabalah
Hall - Secret Wisdom of All Ages
Hodson - The Kingdom of the Gods

 

[Sage]

Right now, it's those:

1.The Essence of Internal Martial Arts(Vol 1&2) by Jerry A. Johnson

2.Chinese Medical Qigong Therapy(Vol 1-5) by Jerry A. Johnson

3.The Encyclopedia of Taoism A-Z(Vol 1&2) by Fabrizio Pregadio

4.Handbooks for Daoist Practice by Louis Komjathy

5.Immortal Sisters by Thomas Cleary

Though I wonder which books will assume the top 5 spot next...

Qliphotic meditations

I would recommend reading up on Kenneth Grant. Asenath Mason just reworks his material and tries to pass it off as her own. I mean that's basically what everyone over at balg does. If they're not straight up lying to you then they're ripping the information they got off of someone else and passing it off as their own.

 

[WisdomAddict]

Goodman word made flesh
The brotherhood of light
Initiates of the flame
Metempsychosis
The ophidic essence ; seeking a way to return
Wisdom & destiny by M.Maeterlinck
The kabbalistic mirror of genesis

 

[Evan]

In my personal experience I don't find any book in particular specially interesting. It's the way you go mixing your inner beliefs and things you already knew someway with books that will come to you in that very moment. If you go around reading anything you will get dispersion and won't find any valuable meaning for yourself. If you need a book I suggest you let that in hands of sinchronicity.

 

[Evan]

The most valuable knowledge is not hidden in any old or new grimoire but inside yourself. Only to you it will come when you are ready if you deserve it. In the meantime Google is my favourite thing to help sinchronicity.

The Master Book of Psalms
The Book of Prayer
(both by Jean Kent)

I've used the Master Book of Palms more often and it works wonders. I like how it gives passcodes and meditations to make the prayers more effective.

Unfortunately Jean Kenst's master book about Psalm has been poorly edited and has many errors in text. Watch out!
