 | Climbing the Tree of Life: A Manual of Practical Magickal Qabalah by David Rankine
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $21.86 This is my favourite book on Qabalah - had to be as it is by my partner David Rankine. Its an excellent book and I have fond memories of David reading the MSS to me whilst I was sick in bed!
|
 | Moon Magic by Dion Fortune
Buy new: $16.20 / Used from: $5.84 This book inspired me a great deal - more than the precursor "Sea Priestess" (which should be read first). I have taken inspiration from this fictional book more than from any other fiction book for ceremonies over the years!
|
 | The Wood Wife by Terri Windling
Buy new: $14.35 / Used from: $5.00 Favourite book BECAUSE it is MAGICK. If you work with nature spirits then you should read this book as it will tell you more than any factual book on the subject!
|
 | The Goetia: The Lesser Key of Solomon the King (Clavicula Salomonis Regis) by Aleister Crowley
Buy new: $13.57 / Used from: $9.94 Not the best "Goetia" available - but the one I learned from when I first started. Fond memories!
|
 | The Complete Magician's Tables by Stephen Skinner
Buy new: $32.97 / Used from: $25.95 Stephen Skinner is one of my heroes and this book is a new favourite replacing Crowley's 777 - something someone "had" to do and no one better suited or qualified than Mr. Skinner!
|
 | Techniques of High Magic: A Handbook of Divination, Alchemy, and the Evocation of Spirits by Francis King
Buy new: $13.22 / Used from: $5.57 A book who inspired many who have inspired me. No better reason for inclusion on "my favourites" list!
|
 | The Guises of the Morrigan - The Irish Goddess of Sex & Battle by David Rankine
Buy new: $22.49 / Used from: $12.00 My own first book - so for that reason a favourite. (Its a good book too - of course!!!)
|
 | Book of Witches by Oliver Madox Hueffer
Buy new: $24.28 / Used from: $22.91 I don't like this edition - I have a first edition, which I love as it smells like an old book and it is just totally arcane and "ye olde world" in its own unique and quaint way...
|
 | The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley
Buy new: $9.95 / Used from: $4.74 One of those books you love or hate... It inspired me a lot and I still love it... besides, if truth be told, it also inspired "The Charge of the Goddess" in more ways than most give credit for!
|
 | Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic by Israel Regardie
Buy used from: $79.70 Ah, a book with lots of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn Rituals - which in turn inspired loads of other work. I have used it lots and lots for inspiration and as a reference work (though lots of it is dated, its still important)
|
 | The Tower of Alchemy: An Advanced Guide to the Great Work by David Goddard
Buy new: $17.05 / Used from: $5.00 Not that I don't love the content of this book - but I am including it for sentimental reasons... it played an "interesting" role (more like a cosmic joke!) in the early days after I first met the Love of my Life, David Rankine!
|
 | The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy by Francis Barrett
Buy used from: $12.15 Again, not my favourite edition (but then also not that expensive in comparison). The Magus is a "classic" book and it should be on the readinglist and shelves of all who are interested in the serious practice of magick! (Well I think so)
|
 | Practical Angel Magic of Dr John Dee's Enochian Tables: Tabularum Bonorum Angelorum Invocationes as Used by Wynn Westcott, Alan Bennett, Reverend Ayto by Stephen Skinner
Buy new: $40.96 / Used from: $36.75 Because this is the first in a series of exciting work by Stephen Skinner and David Rankine and because I am sentimental, my signed by both authors edition will definitely be with books to save in those "if the house was on fire" scenarios!

Listmania!
