THE MAGICIAN'S WORKBOOK - Donald Tyson (Llewellyn, 2001)
Out-of-print paperback. 330 pages.
"When you start on the path to becoming a magician, you are confronted by a wealth of books that cover the theory and history of magic-some good, some hopelessly obscure. What has been missing is a single source that teaches you the fundamentals of magical practice by direct experience.
That book is now in your hands. The Magician's Workbook contains no history, no theory, but forty progressive exercises that can be done by anyone without prior training, special tools, or costly materials. The contents range from extremely simple mental exercises all the way up to complete rituals that form the framework for your magical development. There are even suggestions for an optimal time frame in which to complete the course.
Magic is more than a matter of carrying out mere physical actions. The most important aspects involve the inner being, and this book also focuses on what is often missing from occult writings-the internal experience that is the living heart of ritual. The resulting transformation of the magician's being is the true source of his or her ability to transform the surrounding world."
