Marvelâs Infinity Gauntlet, in which Thanos acquired Godhood and found that while the entire universe conspired against him, it were his own sub and unconscious that brought him back to ânormalcyâ in the end. This left quite an impression, as I often feel our âprogrammingâ is designed to keep us rooted in cycles that apply our attention indefinitely to ideas of limitation, thus never truly allowing us to achieve our true nature.
On a more serious note I remember well breaking my mind over Crowley long before its time to handle such complicated historically rich matter. Shortly after I moved to Castenedaâs books which resonated much better.

yeh.these books are goldmine.first hand knowledge directly from experience.
My father read all of Dennis Wheatleys occult fiction books in my early teens which I read as well (the Devil Rides Out, Ka of Clifford Hilary etc etc). I lapped up the tales of the evil Mocatta (based on Aleister Crowley) and how you could hypnotise people etc
If memory serves me rightly the first proper non fiction occult book is âthe Devil and All His Worksâ by Dennis Wheatley borrowed from the library also in my early teens. Had strange stuff such as leaving your body whilst attached to a silver chord. I mean whoâd believe that?
The concepts in the book were so out there I didnât know what to make of it.
After that Donald Kraigâs Modern Magick. Yes it has good stuff in there which I still need to go over but Golden Dawn high magic drama campness is not my scene and that put my off the occult for a longtime. Interestingly I moved forward more from tracking down the books in his bibliography at the back of the book.

The first book I bought was âHow to make and Use Talismansâ, by Israel regarde, I was 12 years old, it was a 1st Edition, ex library stock. I paid 50p (back in the early 80s), that was my pocket money. From that same library I got âCheiroâs Book of Fate & Fortuneâ, which I devoured and found I could identify everyones sun sign (away from the book).
The first book of magic, I bought from a shop was âExperimental Magicâ by Herbie Brennan.
Later when I was able to go into Cambridge on my own, I discovered amazing secondhand bookshops where I found, purchased and became fond of Parker Publishing books- my little guilty pleasures.
Sadly all my books (not just the magic ones) from back then, I was forced to dispose into the bin by my RC dad.
That library gave me access to the ABC of Witchcraft by Doreen Valiente, Tom Lethbridge books on Dowsing and lots more.
I read Susan Cooperâs âDark is Risingâ Sequence too, Diana Wynne Jones âChrestomanciâ books. Works of fiction, but inspiring.
At the age of 8, once I fell in love with reading, I found a book about a little boy called William, who became a wizard, it contained some practical folk magic including the use of Hagstones. I was also reading world mythology books, Robert Graves âThe White Goddessâ.

The Satanic Bible. I was delighted at the realistic philosophical contrast to christianity, but resonated more with the real shit when I found the ONAâs mss. Although my father was intensely christian and enforced it brutally, he actually gave me a copy of The Serpent & The Rainbow in High School as well. Wierd shitâŚ

I donât have any nor have I read any occult books. Which one would you Ladies and Gentlemen recommend? So far the only book I know I should get would be the Goetia.
If only one book, and you like the kinds of magick described here, get Evoking Eternity - $27 that opens the door to ANYTHING.
You can build on that anbd download all the Goetia stuff free and legally, because the basic sigils are out of copyright, bu EE will teach you the methods to go stright to the point.

Works of Darkness is an excellent book for beginners in my opinion, in all honesty I canât recommended it enough. It covers everything someone will need to begin his/her practice, including meditations, candle spells, psychic senses training, sigil magick, scrying and a whole lot of other stuff. It also covers the subject of evocation, just not as extensively as evoking eternity of course. If you have all that covered, then by all means go for evoking eternity, but if you donât then my recommendation would be to start with works of darkness.
Btw I always wanted to speak with the daedric prince of madness, big fan of your work hehe.
