I'm glad I didn't "buy" this book and went to the Library
first. I was looking for more "whimsical" ideas and the
ones offered in this book seem to be the basic, traditional
ones.

Like all her books Barbara Milo Ohrbach displays class.loved the book and I couldn't wait to the try out her ideas on our next unsuspecting dinner guests.She is an inspiration to all collectors and lovers of fine things and good taste.If you loved this book you must read the rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book gives you lots of great ideas for every occasion of entertaining. I have some of the china patterns in the book and it is fun to see how they are used. The linens, flowers and table settings are all done to perfection. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves dishes and/or loves to entertain.

I first came across the work of Milo Manara whilst browsing round Florence airport looking for something to read on the journey home. I came across this intriguing little comic book called "Il gioco" ("Click" in English) and was completely blown away. There is no shortage of humour in Manara's work, and the hard-core images of sex seem oddly incongruous given that they are drawn in a rather sweet, romantic style. I can't understand a word of Italian but then I guess that the plot isn't a major reason for buying this little book!

Just wanted to say that there was a glitch in my order, but Fonguli, the seller, went to great lengths to make it right, and really made a possibly bad experience a very good one. A great transaction!

Milo Manara has a style all his own. In this erotic tale, a woman's hidden desires are brought forth by the "click" of a special box. Before she realizes what's happening, she's behaving less and less like the lady she was raised to be. As her tale continues in Click 2, and particularly in Click 3, the continuity established in the first story tends to be lost. But, since it's the same creative team at work, I guess that is their call to make.

Overall, an excellent erotic graphic novel for your collection.

This is one of the most interesting and useful books on the Tarot there are. The deck, once one gets past its crudities, i.e., it is drawn in a most amateurish fashion, is also highly interesting and useful, especially in that it contains Enochian and Cabalistic correspondences. The one thing that always has puzzled me in all the so-called cabalistic tarots, however, is that none of them follow the scheme of the Sephir Yetzirah, the primary classic of ancient Hebrew astrological occultism. It is beyond my comprehension, considering that the Sephir Yetzirah is crystal clear in its astrological correspondences to the ciphers. For example, the Cabalistic Tarot says that Ghimel corresponds to the planet Venus while the Sephir Yetzirah states that Phay corresponds to Venus. The Sephir Yetzirah states that Resh corresponds to Mercury while the Cabalistic Tarot says that Bayt corresponds to Mercury. Such discrepancies go on and on, I know not why, especially since the Sephir Yetzirah sets forth a mathematically solid, logical basis for its astrological correspondences. The Sephir Yetzirah demonstrates a perfectly conceived cosmological basis for the Cabalistic ciphers that are the Hebrew alphabet. The incommensurability between the so-called Cabalistic Tarot arrangement and the arrangement of the Sephir Yetzirah is something that someone with the intellectual qualities M. DuQuette appears to posess should look into. It is certainly worth questioning.

This is a fascinating deck. The accuracy of readings is astounding, and the deck will continuously give the same card(s), consistently, during a reading / clarification of a reading. I have always had amazing results with The Thoth Tarot, but Lon Duquette's Ceremonial Magick Deck is definitely the most accurate and consistent deck I have ever worked with.

I wasn't too sure about buying it, at-first, because the artwork reminded me of the Golden Dawn deck, but I viewed the details of the corresponding book ( ISBN: 0877287643 ), via the enlarge feature, and decided to give it a chance, based upon Lon Duquette's other works. Suffice to say, I am thrilled that I made the purchase!

I am really enjoying this deck, and I like the artwork. The artwork is not as detailed and "busy" as Crowley's Thoth Tarot, but it is not as Intense, either...it doesn't beat you over the head with Symbolism. I would certainly recommend Duquette's Ceremonial Deck to beginners, but I would also suggest buying a few books about The Goetia, to understand the whole concept.

The Ceremonial Magick Tarot is surprisingly colorful, bright, humorous and intriguing. Duquette's personality comes through in this deck, and his long years of Research are embedded in the cards, as well.

Normally, I need to tune-up a deck and work with it a while, to tune-in to it's vibe...but, this deck spoke to me, the moment I broke the seal.

I believe this deck will be a great asset to anyone already using Crowley's deck, but it will also be a great Beginner's Deck. Of all my Tarot Cards, this Deck is in my "Top 3" favorites (the ones I use the most)--and has shifted to a position above "The Masonic Tarot."

This is not another novelty Tarot deck. In fact, it recaptures the true magical tradition of the Tarot as few decks have ever done. I have to admit that it isn't as pretty as the Crowley/Harris Thoth Deck or the Cicero's Golden Dawn Ritual Tarot, but it has something more than either of these classics ... in your face Magick!

The four Elemental Tablets of the Enochian system of John Dee adorn the Aces - with the Aces and Court Cards you can construct the powerful Enochian Tablet of Union. The Small Cards bear the names and sigils of all 72 Spirits of the Goetia, and the names of the 72 Qabalistic Angels of the Shemhamaphorash, and the degrees of the zodiac and days of the year sacred to these spirits. Want to project your astral body in to the elemental worlds? The Aces and Court Cards display colored tattwa symbols used for that very purpose. DuQuette didn't just through this stuff on some cards and call it Tarot. All these magical correspondences, even the colors, are organized with anal retentive perfection in strict conformity to the most revered magical and qabalistic traditions concerning the Tarot.

The accompanying book is filled with all the technical information necessary to actually begin practicing Qabalistic, Enochian, and Goetic magick. The first question I had to ask myself after reading it was..."Am I ready for this?"

I just bought this book from Amazon and I am really disappointed in it. A part of what drew me to Goetic work was an odd series of events which revolved around some of the classical depictions of the Goetic Demons.

The 'illustrations' in this book are something equivalent to the fantasies of the typical junior high student. Rough scribbles in pen and ink that show little talent, and likely no familiarity with the spirits themselves. While the traditional depictions bring forth the elegance and regality of the spirits, the illustrations in this book come off leaving one with an uninspired comic book to work with. I also compared the traditional sigils with those drawn in this book, and found that many of them in this book were missing details, certain lines and circles throughout. It has been my personal belief to approach spirits with honor and accuracy, neither of which are present here.

The evocational text is written that of a Crowleyian flavor, calling upon Ra-Hoor-Khuit, Osiris, etcetera as has also been altered from the original Goetic texts. Thus I would only recommend this book for use by Crowley's fans and followers, and anyone with the wisdom to use the traditional texts, sigils and illustrations can easily find them on the web, which can be copied to your own grimoire.

Sex sells, and that is the only reason it is mentioned in the title of this book. The actual section covering sex magick is only three pages at the end of the book. This is the same marketing scam used in Enochian Sex Magic put together by the same group of people.

While some of Hyatt's and DuQuette's essays are amusing, they by no means warrant purchasing this book.

This volume is filled with interesting insights and hints for the modern practitioner. Although Demonolatry (a la Priestess Connolly, Aptigrah, etc.) is really the proper avenue for approaching these incredibly energetic and enlightening entities, Duquette is notable for his erudition, experience, and numerous significant observations. Seek the Goetic Spirits with honesty, respect and courage: they will surprise you with their power and wisdom!

Maybe I'm biased (I haven't read a book by Crowley that I didn't like) but this is an amazing read. Taking the Solomonic Lesser Keys to their logical conclusion and simplifying the entire Lemegeton, Crowley, et al, have managed to bring the ritualistic calls of the Goetia home. Just like his easy-to-follow-if-you're-willing-to-take-it-at-face-value version of the Enochian Keys, Crowley provides you, the reader who dares, all you need, without any of the fat, to invoke and evoke the fallen angels of Solomon and take a more powerful course of action in your life. But beware! Goetia has a bite that has been warned about for centuries. Whether for research or for practical use, this book should be at the top of your list of must-haves in the invocation genre of Magick.

Although this book is not for beginners, it provides a wide and varied assortment of notes from the author's thirty-year study of Voodoo/Voudou, mostly in Haiti but also in the Americas. Originally published in the 1950's, this book includes folklore and legends, as well as academic notes.

If you're interested in this subject, "Vodou Visions" by Glassman is a better choice for beginners, or "Jambalaya" by Luisah Teish to explore women's spirituality, particularly Voudou- and African-related. Both of those books are vastly easier to read, and more current.

However, for thorough research into Vodun/Voudoo/Voodoo, this book provides extensive information, and some unrelated but insightful notes to lead you deeper into the context of African-based traditions.

This was probably my first book on Voodoo that I purchased, and it still has to be one of my reference guides to the religious beliefs. While other books dwell on magic, curses, and the curio folk magic of Hoodoo, this book gives you a collection of beautifully drawn Veves, excellent black and white photos, and a whole collection of traditional Voodoo prayers and chants. Their is a section on classifying the various Lwas, or Loas, from the various Voodoo Mysteries, such as the Radas, Congos, Petros, Ibu, Nago, and the Dantor mysteries.

This book is not for the beginners and it does not candy coat Voodoo, it gives you a ruff down of what Voodoo's practices, rites, passages, magic, and sacrifices are all about. This book is an overview of the religion, as it is impossible for a Mystery of such vast Knowledge, beauty and Wisdom to be justly explained in 217 or so pages. It is not meant for all, but for those who truly respects and want to honor the Lwas, this is a good start. Although an ordained Houngan or Mambo would be your best bet.

Milo Rigaud gives a deep and rich account of Vodou. Using theories from geometry, psychology, anthropology, and other academic sources, Rigaud paints a picture of Vodou unlike any other.

His interpretations, while academic and hard to follow at times, give a unique glimpse at how an "earth religion" can be a deep and rich spiritual well, concealing gems of hidden wisdom, profound thought, and beautiful insight.

Maybe not for the neophyte but certainly worth reading. Five stars!

Basically, it's turning your message into a commerical since the average person can only hold their attention for 30 seconds thanks to (M)TV. It's useful in getting a message across to individuals who either don't want to talk to you or are too busy quicky. It can be seen as "brute honesty" if it's news the individual doen't like to hear, especially, regarding personal performance.Could be very useful in sales and retail. The book uses the 3 Ks (KKK). Unfortunately, it's not a good (PC) memory aid. I perfer the 3 Cs. "Catch Em", "Ceep Em", "Convince Em". I love the saying "Talking to many is the same as talking to one."
Worth a look at about 110 pages. You can finish it in one sitting.

One of the most practical and helpful books I have read. I bought it on a whim because of the title. The author soon drew me into his topic and convinced me that if we have something worth saying, we must make sure that people hear it. Concise speach and writing helps that happen. As part of my job, I teach communication, especially public speaking and writing, to future missionaries. This book helped shape my teaching notes AND my delivery. I always recommend it to my trainees. None of them has ever been disappointed. Thank you, Milo O. Frank.

Milo O. Frank shows step-by step how you can improve your communications skills by using a 30-second message. While we all often gab for minutes or hours, you should be able to get your point across within 30 seconds. The rest is simply preparation or follow-through. The techniques of crafting a 30-second message will help you focus your thinking, writing and speaking. Using these techniques, you can also be more effective in conducting meetings or speaking to groups. This skill will give you better all-around results in business. The technique has three main steps: identify your objective, know your listener and find the right approach. The author shows how to build the most effective message and then tells you how to present it to an audience. The last chapter shows how the 30-second message can be used in other forms of communication, from business letters to sales pitches and press conferences. We [...] recommend this clear, concise book for business people or professionals who want to get their ideas across more effectively, particularly in public speaking.

In this gender-swapping take on the Jonathan Swift classic novel, Gullivera manages to lose her bathing suit and raft while out sunning one day. She comes upon a deserted pirate ship and falls asleep reading a book ("Gulliver's Travels").

Barely clothed, Gullivera wakes up after a storm to find herself tied down on a beach while the little people "explore" her. She quickly wins their favor, but then incurs the wrath of their Queen after saving her majesty from a fire.

Back to the ship she goes, among her stops... a place where amorous horses talk, a city in the sky populated only by busty women, and a land where everyone else is a giant.

Her various erotic adventures bring her back home. But, was it all a dream inspired by her choice of reading material?

Manara loves displaying the female body and tease the reader with different ideas. The situations are soft, not hard core at all. I personally love the way he draws the face and smiles. Gullivera is happy, light and enjoyable watching/reading. Without giving away much from the story, can you imagine marching under two spread legs with all the female sex wide open...?

Nice sexy, fun, romp that hit the exact spot I hoped for: pretty modern girl with a few days to school to enjoy goes on a ride on an spooky old ship, goes through Gulliver's travels quick and sexy. She's naked a lot; other times she's got pretty duds on. her old English flag shorty-shirt outfit is yummy. Not for prudes who "...like naked women but this was just too much.." and not for fetish freaks and porn dogs; she doesn't have sex and the juices don't flow. (Well, actually fluids flow, in a case of fire fighting...) Fun and sexy naked girl but not too wild or dark. Erotica notica.

I found this book to be a very Compelling Introduction to the World of Enochian Magick. ... My brief encounter with the Enochian method impressed me and Lon Duquette's book encouraged my research--therefore, I purchased this Enochian Dictionary and found myself literally Devouring the introductory material (historical aspects, etc.) of "The Complete Enochian Dictionary: A Dictionary of the Angelic Language As Revealed to Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelley."
I would certainly give the book 5 stars, if not for the fact that it is, mostly, a Dictionary / Reference book. I read the introductory material in one sitting, but the rest of the book is intended as reference material. However, this reference material is Brilliantly categorized as either original "Dee" words and definitions, or attributed to the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley, Goetic, etc.--thus, creating a clearly defined listing of Original Enochian and that inspired by Crowley and his own workings with this system of Magick.
... Regardless of the issues surrounding the historical creation (or revelation) of the Enochian Language, it seems to work. The words, of whatever origin, seem to produce a powerful effect upon the atmosphere surrounding the Magickian.
I have not, personally, worked with Enochian, yet--I am only researching the effects I have witnessed, first-hand. From what I have seen, thus-far, I believe Enochian is, in fact, a powerful and Magickal Language.
The origins of the language, although fascinatingly depicted in this book are moot--much like Gravitation and The Theory of Relativity, even if you do not understand the science behind it, it Works.
I highly recommend this Dictionary of Enochian to anyone interested in Magick, Anthropology, The Occult, etc.--the subject is quite interesting.

This book is great! It is user friendly and is good for both the beginner, intermediate and advanced prationers of Enochian Magick. This has helped me in some of my ceremonies when I wanted to speak only Enochian to lest say the Seniors. Unfortunatly I could not find a few words I wanted to use so I would say 98 percent was used in the Enochian language. But dont be fooled Enochian is not only "the language of the Angels" it is also a system of magick so you will eighter need a teacher or other books on this subject. This book is excellent as it is a companion to any book you buy which deals with the subject of Enochian magick. Lon Milo Duquette makes a wonderful introduction by sharing his experience with the reader. He realy brings the book to life. This is one of the better books on the subject of Enochian. You will also find the Enochian keys which are very important in the Enochian magickal system.

For over 20 years Enochian magick has been my passion and magical "drug" of choice. I've evoked many of the elemental spirits and am continuing my personal initiatory career by systematically exploring the 30 Aethyrs of the system. There are four or five texts that are absolutely indispensable if one is serious about taking up his complex art. The first one I would recommend is "The Enochian World of Aleister Crowley" by Lon Milo DuQuette and Christopher Hyatt. Next would be Laycock's Complete Enochian Dictionary. I am so happy to see that this has been reissued. My first edition has nearly turned to dust. A new introduction by DuQuette, where he actually describes an evocation of an elemental angel, is priceless...and a bit reassuring. My highest recommendation.

As a tremendous fan of Kellerman and his protagonist, child psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware, I found this book's premise to be promising - munchausen syndrome by proxy, the intentional injuring of a child by the parent(s) (or sometimes nurses) to gain attention. Although the book loses a little steam compared to his previous books, especially for those who have never met the main characters, the simple idea that a plot can be suspenseful without involving a medical examiner or a detective or a lawyer makes his books not only necessary, but instantly refreshing.

This is a chilling mystery (the twist - the protagonist is a child psychologist) about parents suspected of harming their baby. It is a completely engrossing book -- I started to read it at a world-class resort in Hawaii, and I saw very little of the resort! After finishing Devil's Waltz, I read most of the other books in the series (there are quite a few) and I already have "EYES" looking for his next one! It is brilliant to have the main character be someone OTHER than a cop or a jaded P.I.!! Having now read most of the books in the series, I am delighted by the development of all the leading characters across the years of the series. This book, I think, is still my favorite, though. Kellerman is really skillful at maintaining continuity and evolving their personalities at the same time. I strongly suggest reading the whole series. I hope Mr. Kellerman never tires of Alex Delaware (the psychologist).

Starting with the first Alex Delaware novel "When the Bough Breaks", I have read all of his thrillers in chronological order, enjoying the Delaware character development as well as the individual stories (the same applies to Stephen White's equally brilliant Alan Gregory books, by the way).

I still consider "Devil's Waltz" to be the best effort in a very good series of novels - believeable characters, interesting storylines and lots of mystery are always guaranteed when starting a Kellerman novel, but "Devil's Waltz" is the one I remember as especially tight and exciting. This book about damage inflicted on a helpless child and layer after layer of secrets within an L.A. hospital will keep you guessing right up to the final pages and is absolutely flawless.

The Chicken Qabalah
Of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford
By Lon Milo DuQuette
Samuel Weiser, 2001
Reviewed by Poke Runyon

After some thirty years of studying, practicing and even daring to
teach what is called "Hermetic Qabalah" (or Kabbalah or Cabala, or
what ever ) I was recently confronted by a person (not even Jewish)
who condescendingly informed me that the word was pronounced
"Kab-ah-LAH" and that if I had not studied it under a bone fide Rabbi
I really knew nothing about it. Even though I had taken a class in
Jewish mysticism in college from a real Rabbi, that didn't seem to be
good enough. I was a "Chicken Qabalist" and I was made to feel as if I
should sit in the back of the metaphysical bus.

Before the mid-1970s we Hermetic qabalists lived in a happy dream
world where we thought we actually were studying and practicing a
deeply profound system of spiritual growth and magical attainment
based on long-forgotten medieval Jewish and renaissance Rosicrucian
roots. We had no idea the "real" Kab-ah-LAH had no Tarot cards, no
Pagan Gods (certainly no Pagan Goddesses!), very little astrology, and
absolutely no magick. But then came our sad awakening. Faced with too
many brilliant young people committing themselves to various forms of
Eastern mysticism, Jewish Biblical and Talmudic scholars, led by
Greshom Scholem and followed by Aryeh Kaplan, dusted off and
refurbished the old, nearly forgotten orthodox Jewish kabbalah.

We Hermetic qabalists (if we even dared to call ourselves qabalists
at this point ) were now second class metaphysical citizens.
What we desperately needed was our own Rabbi --- a roly-poly, white
bearded, good-natured esoteric sage who would tell us: "Hey, it's okay
to be a Chicken Qabalist. Have all the Tarot cards and magick you
want. The qabalah is for everybody! Enjoy!"

And that is exactly what Maestro Lon Milo DuQuette has given us in the
"pseudepigraphic" personage of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford. Ben Clifford
is an iconoclastic, renegade scholar who teaches the students of his
school (the Zerubbabel Institute of Philosophical Youth; 'Z.I.P.Y')
all the basics of the qabalah we know and love --- with delightful humor
and wonderfully cogent analogies. For example: the theory
of the Four Worlds of descending creative emanations is explained as a
four story building where chairs are
conceived, designed, manufactured, and finally put
in the show room on the bottom floor.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that Ben Clifford (or DuQuette)
is dumbing down the qabalah; far from it! Lon DuQuette has already
established himself as one of the leading exponents of Hermetic
qabalah and magick. His "Chicken Qabalah" is rib tickling but it is
also profound---and I make bold to suggest that he can make a deep
concept-such as The Four Parts of the Soul (Chia, Neshamah, Ruach, and
Nepesh) more grokable than Greshom Scholem or Aryeh Kaplan ---

even to Jewish readers.

That brings up another key point: this book is not a "They have
theirs" and "We have ours" sort of presentation. The intent and the
humor is not irreverent and certainly not anti-Jewish. Actually this
review is more critical of the second-class status imposed on Hermetic
qabalah than either Lon, or his Ben Clifford, have been in the book
itself. The Chicken Qabalah should be a delightful read for interested
people of all religious backgrounds. It forms a light-hearted, but
deeply meaningful, bridge between two systems of qabalah that have
recently drifted apart.

Last but not least, it provides those of us who have been immersed in
Hermeitc qabalah for years with a delightfully humorous review of
basics (and profound principles) that we would otherwise not bother to
undertake, given the dry nature of the previously published material.
All considered, The Chicken Qabalah is a mini-masterpiece from a
Master with a twinkle in his eye.

The Chicken Qabalah
of
Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford

by Lon Milo Duquette
Weiser Books
2001
ISBN #1-57863-215-3

Like many in the Tarot world, the Qabalah (in any of its numerous spellings) strikes terror into my heart! How in the heck am I supposed to make sense of anything this complex? I can barely follow a very basic discussion concerning the Qabalah - which in ways, may be a blessing, as no two people in these discussions ever seem to agree on anything, and tangents break off all the time!

OK I have to admit, I have had some bits of luck with getting a basic understanding of the Qabalah as it relates to the Tarot - specifically through the works of Ellen Cannon Reed ("The Witches Qabala: The Pagan Path and the Tree of Life, Samuel Weiser, Inc, 1997) and Alexandra Genetti ( "The Wheel Of Change Tarot", Destiny Books, 1997). These ladies have done a marvelous job of presenting their work - my hat is off to both of them. This is where my personal study of the Qabalah began.

To get past the very basics was not easy - the material is complex, dry and ... well, not easily palatible! And then the good Rabbi came along. The very first thing that he did was to expand my vocabulary and sense of literature - all in one fell swoop of chicken feathers! I quote,:

" Revered Hebrew scholar, Gershom G. Scholem wrote:

For a long time we have known that literary forgeries represent a flight into anonymity and pseudonymity just as often as they indicate trickery; and not for nothing have we retained the foreign word "pseudepigrapha" to designate in particular a legitimate category of religious literature ... the Zohar is the most important but by far not the only example of such love of masquerade in Jewish literature."

What does this mean in plain English? It means that Lon Milo Duequete presents this as the work of Rabbi Lamed Ben CLifford, of the "Zerubabbel Institute of Philosophical Youth" (ZIPY), with introductions to each chapter in Mr. Duquette's own words. Quite frankly, this was the only way that the good Rabbi could be kept in check!

While a sense of humor and the Qabalah at first glance do not seem destined to be in the same room, I found this presentation heartwarming, palatible, tremendously funny (picture me in my living room, with only my cat as company, laughing so hard that I have tears running down my cheeks) ... and very instructive. The reason that you cannot read this book straight through is not that the material is so difficult, it is that you have to take time outs to wipe your eyes and blow your nose.

The Rabbi himself takes over the FAQ chapter of this book. It is quite important that we understand who Chicken Qabalist's are, and where they fit into the scheme of things. There is also an authentic certificate in this book that the reader may fill out and present as Qabalistic credentials. The problem here is that the certificate is IN the book - i.e. part of it. I considered making a photocopy, but that seemed like a sham. I mean - I want to see the real thing when I am checking someone's credentials. I haven't quite decided how I am going to handle this one yet.

The "Ten Command Rants" is a nice introduction to the work in this book. Here we begin to glimpse the divine nature of the Qabalah - according to the Rabbi, of course!

Without even realizing it, in the ensuing chapters we are led through the formation of the Sepher Yetzirah, the Hebrew alphabet (not a small study in itself), the Four Qabalistic Worlds and the Four Parts of the Soul , the Tree of Life ... and much, much more.

The key here is the journey - the journey is important, not where it leads you. Enjoy the journey, learn from the journey - but do not the journey. There is a great deal of material presented in this book - and it is intended only as a beginning. The reader is encouraged to work with the information, to allow it to become part of them.

There are many excellent graphs and charts presented here. The path is made very easy to create one's own workbook, and bring the Qabalah into reality. If you allow it to, the Qabalah readily takes a three dimentional form - it has a face, it has a sense of "being".

I recommend this book to all levels of students. Why all levels? Because if you think that you understand it, you might not, really. And, if you really do understand it, by reading this book you may see a whole new way to present it to your own students.

"The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford" has got to be the best "cut to the chase" book of its kind on the Qabalah, or is it Kabbalah? Hell who cares! It gives the student the foundation they need to build-up their own system without the trappings of any particular dogma or doctrine. It avoids the common digressions and pitfalls that tend to confuse the study of the Qabalah especially by newer students. It is solid in its treatise but written in a very humorous and down-to-earth fashion. If you have been confused by the Qabalah in the past, buy the book, you'll be very pleased!
