Summary: What a waste of a good tree
Comment: I am writing this to balance some of the clearly placed reviews by some of the members Griffin's Order. This is not a particularly good book being loaded full of mistakes that anyone who has got to a reasonable grade within the Golden Dawn would not make. This is clearly a (very expensive) vanity press effort which would have been more accessible (and cheaper) if the author had not attempted to do a cut an paste approach to rituals in a bit to try and get the book to 666 pages. I am disappointed if this is the state of the modern Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn's teaching (and they have clearly forgotten much that is basic). I am glad I have nothing to do with them.

Summary: A great book to hollow out and hide stuff in...
Comment: This book is a big mistake for the beginning practicioner of magick. One would profit much more by reading "The Qabbalah Unveiled" by S.L. MacGregor Mathers followed by "Modern Magick" by Donald Kraig. About all this book does is show a million ways to do the pentagram ritual and claim that you will get somewhere by that. The fact that it has exactly 666 pages would appeal to a Crowley [follower] maybe or someone who does all their magick out of the Necronomicion perhaps, but the real professionals are getting a real laugh right now. It is a good thick book though, and you can cut out the center for a big enough place to hold a large bag of anything you want...

Summary: Thank god it is out of print
Comment: A text that is best consigned to the dustbin of Golden Dawn history. It is full of errors.. I counted 80 before giving up. There are so many better books out there that are in print and do not have to be peddled online to would be students as 'true occult secrets'. This book, which for some reason Griffins followers feel the need to promote as a sort of religious quest, contains little that is new and cannot be found in books by other (cheaper) authors.
The book contains no secrets, so its positioning online as part of a course structure cannot make it more mysterious. The only way it will be considered 'magical history' is as a footnote of an essay on the sad tale of the end of the Golden Dawn as a valid system of instruction at the beginning of the 21st century, under a sea of bizare trademark wars and inflated egos. If you really must buy it (perhaps you need a laugh) I suggest you look on the second had market. There are a lot around that are worth a lot less than the new cost.
