Format:Paperback
What almost everyone says in the other reviews is true. The writing style is annoying, his attitude is pompus and overbearing, and you regularly want to throw the book to the other side of the room. but I've given it five stars because if you can get beyond these stylistic points the book has wonderful, unique, content. A book that has stayed with me, physically or otherwise, for years.

Format:Paperback
Peter Carroll has managed to construct the first genuinely innovative magickal technique in many, many years, unafraid of causing offense and controversy as he does so. A startlingly honest stripping down of magickal techniques, removing the glamour to see the raw psychology which lies underneath. Carroll has managed to present a workable, results-oriented system of sorcery that dispenses with the need to learn pompous and unnecessary magickal terminologies before putting one's Will into effect. Buy this book.

Format:Paperback
Liber Null, illustrated by Andrew David, and Psychonaut, with same by Brian Ward, are two separate books. The first is again divided into Libri MMM, LUX, NOX et AOM, and in these books Pope Pete deals with gnosis, divination, evocation, enchantment, sigils and "random belief," something that really amused me. Psychonaut is a collection of fascinating essays on, inter alia, new aeon magic, the rites of chaos, chemognosis (with a particularly interesting discussion of hallucinogens like the amanita and psylocybe mushrooms and the solanum species), shamanism, gnosticism, magical paradigms and magical time. My only problem is the - to say the least - disturbing illustrations by Ward. To someone with a sensitive disposition, these detract somewhat from the pleasuree of the reading experience. The text is richly enlivened by diagrams, figures, glyphs and perhaps to its detriment, by those eerie pictures. Apart from that, it's a no-nonsense magical handbook in a lucid and engaging style. A classic of sorts, I guess. Heartily recommended to fans of "The Addams Family" movies.

Pete Carroll appears to have delusions that he can write like Aleister Crowley. He's wrong. His style is pompous, his views pretentious, his science absurd. Read more
