Ogaga4Luv: [size=13pt]<sup>Inspired by the perennially popular "What are you currently reading thread" over in books, I thought it would be fun to have a thread here for mini reviews and comments on occult (and related) tomes - the various reading lists on here, while normally pretty good, do tend to stick to the "canon" of well known occult works ie.Pete Caroll, Crowley etc - and, as an unrepentant biblophile, I would like the opportunity to be able to find out about books that might slip under my radar, that aren't part of the normal reading list. So, feel free to include antropological works, mytholgy, self help, even fiction.

I'll go first:

Been flicking through Dina Glouberman's excellent "Life Choices are Life Changes Through Imagework: The Art of Developing Persoanl Vision". I really, really like this book - it's guide to working with visualised images, skrying basically but taken a step further - she gives techniques for really woking with the images, something you don't find in most material on skrying - for instance interrogating the images about their history etc. It's very comprehensive as well, with chapters on Relaxation and sleep, relationships, resentments and mourning, finances, health, dreams and a lot more besides. not being a scary "occult" book, it's writen in a very unpretentious, warm, open style. Great stuff, hope I can work some of the idea in to my "toolbox" - and I was surprised to find this, in a section on "releasing":

My friend Chloe says putting (a visulaised image of )what she wants in a bubble does work well for her but only when shes is wishing for something that is good for other people as well as herself, and only when she is wanting it "for it's own sake" rather than to please put other people. That makes a lot of sense to me.

In a nutshell there, they've summed up the whole "without lust of result" aspect of sorcery (the tricky "letting go/forgetting" side of sigilisation) as well as addressing issues of selfishness, much discussed in threads on sorcery round here lately. I told ya it was a great book!</sup> [/size]

zubike01: 7 books of moses boring book filled with Hebrew spells that don't work probably because i can't pronounce them well

ghostofsparta:

It's even more boring than watching The Kardashians, I wonder why it's so hyped. It's not because you can't pronounce them well, it's just that they bear no efficacy otherwise Auschwitz wont have existed.

Very true i wonder who brought about the gist that people get mad after reading it ....SMH bullshit

cyrexx: ^^^

Maybe you guys are already mad without knowing.
