Planetary Magick (Llewellyn's High Magick Series)

Rating:
Summary: Best in conjuction with a good theory book
Review: Personally i thought this book was a great help to my occult studies, however, when i first got it, i didn't understand half of what it said. I ended up learning Kabbalah as well, because this is what the book is based on. It is not a book i recommend for beginners although if your are a beginner make sure you have a good book on the Kabbalah or even Aggrippa's "Three Books on Occult Philosophy" which has a good section on the planetary energies. But other than that, this book is invaluable to a magician seeking to pursue planetary magick.

Summary: One for the Library
Review: This is a superb in-depth guide to the planetary and seasonal tides. A step-by-step approach to gaining understanding of each planet's nature and influences. A valuable addition to your library. Not for the beginner.

Summary: An essential magickal text
Review: This is one of those works you must own. It contains a complete listing of information for the planets with background and mythological information. The most important part of the book is the rituals which include a wide range of ritual work. Although this book is based on the Aurum Solis tradition which is different than standard Golden Dawn rituals, the rituals can be easily adopted for personal use. There are also excellent illustrations through out the book.
