There are so many exercises that I am frankly amazed. This book is one for those of us that are serious about developing magickal talent. I would first advise that you start out with "Modern Magic". Then advance to this book. You will definitely develop all the skills to be successful in magick.

I did not have much experience with magic when I began reading this book. At times, I find it difficult to understand. For those areas in which I have some previous experience, found the material in this book excellent. In those areas were I had no previous experience, I needed to consult other texts to fill in the gaps in my basic knowledge. I would not reccomend this book for absolute beginners or people with a casual interest in the subject. I feel it is written at an intemmediate level. I would definitely recommend it for any one with a serious interest in magic. The theoretical part of the book seems sound. It connects well to the practice exercises. The material is presented sequentially. I estimate it would take about two years to complete every thing in this book.
