This section is a list of Books That I highly recommend to all those who are new the Craft.

Lesser Key of Solomon the King  

In Greek "Goetia" refers to the "low" magic that addresses practical human concerns, including obtaining advancement and wealth and finding love and knowledge. The source of this translation is a manual of Solomonic astrological sorcery that gives detailed instructions for the ritual precautions, requisites, and incantations necessary to evoke the aid of its 72 spirits, which are described in detail. This translation was commissioned by Aleister Crowley from Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, for an edition that appeared in 1904. The highly competitive relationship between these two magicians forms a fascinating subtext to Crowley's editing of the original edition. It includes Crowley's seminal essay, "The Initiated Interpretation of Ceremonial Magic,"

Holy Blood Holy Grail

Synopsis Based on ancient documents found in France around the turn of the century, HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL confronts and challenges traditional Christian beliefs. The authors' alternative view of Christian history asserts that Jesus may not have perished on the cross, but instead may have lived to marry and father children whose lineage continues today. Is it possible Christ did not die on the cross?
• Is it possible Jesus was married, a father, and that his bloodline still exists?
• Is it possible that parchments found in the South of France a century ago reveal one of the best-kept secrets of Christendom?
• Is it possible that these parchments contain the very heart of the mystery of the Holy Grail?
