Done and done.
I was considering a different book from _Real Magic_, which I consider
puerile (and I mean that in a non-disparaging sense, it's still a good
book for beginners).
I don't suppose people have a ready copy of _The Mechanics of Ancient
Egyptian Magical Practice_, by Robert Kriech Ritner? Or Eric
Yudelove's _100 Days to Better Health, Good Sex, and Long Life_. Or
heck, even Bandler & Grinder's _The Structure of Magic_

Sorry Kisai but I'm going to be AFK for a few days. We'll take this up
when I'm back, 'kay?

I've been lurking ever since the Trungpa discussion. I consider
myself lucky that this group was brought to my attention. There are
several very insightful people posting here, and surprisingly little
noise.
Cheers,
Florian

Actually, by some definitions of the word, I qualify as pagan. But
don't worry about that, I'm not interested in such labels.
Cheers,
Florian

I'm glad your enjoying it. You never know, we might get around to
another Trungpa book "Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior" which
I believe contains some Buddhist style magick.

I'll start next week with three posts. An intro to the book, a summary
of the first chapter with questions for discussion and a spin off
thread. Maybe you could do a summary and spin off for chapter two the
week after?
