Book Suggestions

I got my license so I can finally go to the bookstore by myself and get books about magick without my parents finding out. I know that there are a ton of these threads, but please help me.

What are good books about magick? I like tons of things about magick, so I'm no looking for books on anything specific, just books that you think are helpful.

I find the following books helpful. The wicca ones are good for the basics, but you don't have to follow them step by step, you can modify them however you want. ;)

"Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Crytal, Gem, & Metal Magic"
By Scott Cunningham

"Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner"
By Scott Cunningham

"Wicca for Beginners: Fundamentals of Philosophy & Practice"
By Thea Sabin

"Chaos Condensed" or "Oven Ready Chaos" (second one is the online pdf name)
By Phil Hine.

I agree with saidguidenc on her book recommendations. As well as the Phil Hine work she has mentioned you should also read all of it. He is an insightful man. If you can get hold of them, the judika illse's books are very informative. Also more on chaos i would suggest reading psychonaut,the Liber null and the liber kaos and liber KKK by peter j caroll

Another good one is "Modern Magick" by Donald Michael Kraig

It has a lot of good begining stuff with easy to follow steps

Glim

Also to add and to edit, liber kaos and liber kkk same book doh. Right my additions are as followed. The book of law by Alister Crowley and a few books by Dion Fortune,The Mystical Qabalah, Psychic self defense, the training and work of the initiate and one her novels sea priestess. I'm sure I'll think of more later but its a place to start.

Astral Dynamics By Robert Bruce.

Subtle Bodies by Cyndi Dale.

And here's an excellent thread from my coven's forums regarding book suggestions:
