THE BOOK OF CEREMONIAL MAGICK Paperback – January 29, 2022 by ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE
Foundational book as the first of it’s kind to bring together, compare and survey the different parts of western occult practices at the time.
There are two books out there called “The Book of Ceremonial Magick” that each have two of the four parts. This one has all four.
I have this one… Which doesn’t include the info about the grimoires in this one, for example.
I just discovered this by way of an occult literature video by styxhexenhammer on Bitchute.

Qigong aka Chi Kung books
My all time favourite is The Root of Chinese Qigong by Jwing Ming Yang. If you could only get one book this one has everything and is also a good reference work. It also has the Chinese characters in it for the terms for further research.
After that anything by Mantak Chia, who takes the opposite approach and has dozens of short books breaking the subject up into given tools and small areas, which is cool when you have the foundation and/or are looking for a specific technique.
Particularly these fundamentals which are also the Taoist approach to having good Spiritual Hygiene, there is no “shadow work” called out separately, it’s all you:
Awaken Healing Energy Through The Tao
Fusion of the Five Elements: Meditations for Transforming Negative Emotions
The Inner Smile: Increasing Chi through the Cultivation of Joy
The Six Healing Sounds: Taoist Techniques for Balancing Chi
Important for occultists, after getting cleansed and balanced, we want to increase our energy for magickal work beyond just being healthy, open our clairsenses more and become more sensitive, more empowered and more wise, start here:
The Taoist Soul Body: Harnessing the Power of Kan and Li
The Practice of Greater Kan and Li: Techniques for Creating the Immortal Self
Sealing of the Five Senses: Advanced Practices for Becoming a Taoist Immortal

Alternative lists of entities to work with other than the Goetia
Hindiu Mantra book recommendations:
Shameless plug for my boi Corwin cause he’s changed the game for me:
Goetia Pathworking: Magickal Results from the 72 Demons
Corwin Hargrove
PROS:
- Beginner friendly
- Great introduction to pathworking practice
- Can be used as a “72 Challenge” for pathworking the 72 Goetia
- Not a lot of fluff, pretty much to the point
CONS:
- (Kindle Edition) (Personal preference) Physical copies are much better IMO
- Talks a lot about what you can get from each entity, but doesn’t talk about history of the entity
- Doesn’t offer any protection suggestions before pathworking (seems to suggest that Pathworking is fool-proof). Don’t be a fool, protect your tool (brain), kids!

Books on Egyptian Magick:
Hi! I truly love your recommendations and I was wondering if you had one to open your clairsenses and psychic abilities in general?
Thanks I’m very glad it’s useful! 
Our Astral Sense development collection has some homegrown tutorials for getting into trance etc.
Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce is more for Astral travel but that also works the psychic muscles, as it were, and it’s a well explained and accessible book with a slant towards Western understandings.
I would highly recommend Remote Viewing as a psychic development tool as well. Controlled Remote Viewing by Lyn Buchannan (CRV) and Scientific Remove Viewing by DR Courtney Brown at Farsight (SRV) are the best. Lyn’s Book the Seventh Sense doesn’t actually tell you how to do it, but it’s motivating, as are the various interviews on yt with him that explain it very well.
Blind Sight is quite interesting and I’m working my way through this slowly: it’s about that art martial artists develop to see without using your eyes.

Thank you for the recommendations! I wish there was someone as helpful when I was younger

Could someone safely and effectively use the book “The Taoist Soul Body: Harnessing the Power of Kan and Li”, without first having worked through Mantak Chia’s other, more basic books?
I think in the book he does recommend having a teacher to ask question of, but doesn’t state the other books are prerequisites. I would say be mindful, listen to your body and apply common sense. You could also combine this with working with someone like Raphael, Marbas or Ebuhuel to ensure you get the guidance you need when a human teacher isn’t available.
