Brysing: why is magical world so cut from our one. We rare get to see any1 who knows what actual magic is. Even if u explain every bit still it cannot be understood becoz we actually have lost belief over this. We can't perform magic as it is limited to some people. Saying that i can do magic is nothing, performing or showing to any1 is something but making others do that is teaching that is worth to be focussed. Or else real magic as we don't know what actually is will be buried with the mages who know what it actually is :)

In these 'older times' as you speak of,books on Magic was extremely rare with few books published each year. And those that were published,few contained well described explanations.

In fact, it was due to the New Age movement and the rise to prominence of various famous occultists that information and books became much more abundant today. Thus,I am of the mind that there are much more higher quality books available today. But of course , with such a increase in quantity, low quality books will be more prevalent as well.

I have not viewed your link you provided us however the fact that the page is categorized under 'New Age' also support my statement

I am also of the opinion that reading eastern texts to gain insights to Western Occultism is rather foolish.

The Eastern Systems while having some parallels with the Western Ones, they have rather huge differences.

And since you are looking for books published in the east, you will find books on Eastern Systems of Magic!

Worse of all,there is a huge rise of popularity of Feng Shui in the East. Most of the books published in the East are on that. I personally find it exceedingly annoying.

There are few books that properly teach you a particular system. And even then , it is usually in their native language.

Just my 2 cents.
