Books About Doing Magic
It's been a long time since I've seriously read a book about magical practice, and I'm interested in starting again.
I know that Evolutionary Witchcraft by T. Thorne Coyle is very good.
Any other suggestions?

I looked up "Unseen Power" and was startled by how expensive it was.
Is the review you reference posted anywhere?

It *is* bloody expensive, but you get a workbook, nine cds of Dolores teaching (and her voice is worth every cent, bright gods can she talk beautifully), and two symbolic card decks (one of the qabalistic Tree of Life, one of godforms). It's not a bad value for the money.

If the review gets published, or if it could be shared privately, please let me know.
For right now, I'm going to keep it on my Amazon Wish List and come back to when I'm done with the first book I've purchased.

Certainly I don't recommend dashing right into the substantial investment that DAN's set represents. Rather, perhaps do something like familiarize yourself with her work through browsing and see if her style resonates with you at all. Honestly, from comments you've made since I originally responded, I'd recommend Butler first. He's great at training in the basic principles of magic and mediumship, and he teaches material that's applicable to various different systems. I've found his work to be as useful as an adjunct to RJ Stewart's faery materials as it is to Dion Fortune's polarity work.
Dolores also has a book called "The Ritual Magic Workbook", which is very good and covers useful ground at a much lower cost than the set.
