DuQuette is a well-known author and public speaker on the topics of Aleister Crowley and Qabalah. He&#8217;s the United States Deputy Grand Master General for Crowley&#8217;s magical order Ordo Templi Orientis. Shoemaker is a clinical psychologist, the Chancellor and Prolocutor of the Temple of the Silver Star, and a senior initiate of Ordo Templi Orientis and AA. What I&#8217;m getting at is, I feel the task of vetting and compiling this book was put in the right hands. They found 11 authors to write basically 11 books and then Llewellyn put it all together into a massive 528-page book (available in trade paperback or hardcover).<\/p>\n<p>So, what booksdoes this book have?<br \/>\nBook One: Foundations of Western Magic by Sam Webster<br \/>\nBook Two: Qabalah by Anita Kraft and Randall Bowyer<br \/>\nBook Three: Planetary Magic by David Rankine<br \/>\nBook Four: Alchemy by Dennis William Hauck<br \/>\nBook Five: Demonology &#038; Spirit Evocation by Dr. Stephen Skinner<br \/>\nBook Six: The Magick of Abra-Melin by Marcus Katz<br \/>\nBook Seven: Enochian Magick &#038; Mysticism by Aaron Leitch<br \/>\nBook Eight: The Golden Dawn by Chic &#038; Tabatha Ciecero<br \/>\nBook Nine: Thelema &#038; Aleister Crowley by David Shoemaker<br \/>\nBook Ten: Polytheistic Ceremonial Magic by John Michael Greer<br \/>\nBook Eleven: Magician&#8217;s Tables by David Allen Hulse<br \/>\nEpilogue: The Future of Ceremonial Magick by Brandy Williams<\/p>\n<p>For the purposes of context and disclosure I should tell you that the advanced readers copy I got only had the first part of each of the books. With that said, I found the quality of writing to be excellent. The spread of topics is fantastic. I couldn&#8217;t think of anything that needed to be added. This is certain to be a great reference for those interested in ceremonial magic. Overall, it&#8217;s a pretty sexy hunk of book.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.llewellyn.com\/product.php?ean=9780738760827\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9780738764726?aff=MagicalBuffet\">Shop your local indie bookstore<\/a> <---This is an affiliate link to IndieBound, which supports independent bookstores throughout the United States.
