The Tree of Life

Currently I’m in the process of finishing this wonderful book by Israel Regardie.  In order to make things easier  for myself, and to really digest the teachings I decided to collect some scattered annotations that I made of each chapter. They were in a way a small study guide that helped me  to better organize these ideas.  I believe this is one of the best classic occult works in the introduction of Ceremonial Magick.  

Some of the things I’ve noticed however is the victorian, and sometimes tedious style of Regardie’s writing. Obviously this is due to the fact that nowadays we’re not used to this type of writing style although after sometime the reader will be able to get use to it.  In any event the book has an interesting combination of information for the beginner, and techniques for the advanced magician. 

I can honestly say that reading this book has made me a more knowledabble  occultist, and has given me many ideas, and insights into the workings of magick.
