No-nonsense integration of magick and RPG
An treasure for role-playing gamers who are interested in "realistic" underpinnings of RPG magic and the possibility of "magic research".

Bonewits' writing is succinct, sometimes hilarious, and blessedly free of New Age-isms. Although he actually believes in real-life Magick (and his proposed system reflects this "reality"), there is a lot of useful stuff here for non-believers too. He also has some scathing comments for fundamentalists both of the religious and New Age camps.

GM Fuel At Its Finest
Yar, I'll agree with other reviewers that the author has some rather strong opinions that may or may not be offensive. Take it all with a mountain of salt.

Odds of me actually using the material inside verbatim in a game I run? Not terribly good. But the book itself is AMAZING "GM Fuel". Material good for stoking the fires of a GM's imagination. I'm glad I bought it and glad I read it. I won't go so far as to say it is a "must have" book, but it should be on everyone's list of books to consider.

Still the Best Book on the Laws of Magick Theory & Games
This 1979 paperback manual is still highly regarded by gamers who practise magick theory and magick role-playing.This book has alot of Isaac's opinions openly expressed.This is Isaac's Book of Magick Playing,and not a standard generic rip-off.There are many acrinyms used to save space and help the reading flow.I wanted to withhold one star,because it has not been currently updated or expanded upon.Yet,i enjoyed Isaac Bonewits' fantasy game system he created.It's his own unique one that does add insight for other budding magickians. This magickal book is still very good.It inspires the reader to seek their own magick system to suit one's desire for personal satisfaction through the use of Magick-crafting.So,Use the Force!
