Product Description
Product Description
This is NOT a self-help book.....
So you want to learn about magic? Hell, how and where do you start?
Here's how. The author has been working as a magician in Britain for over 25 years, and this book is a distillation of huge practical experience and teaching. The beginner (and many an experienced older-hand) will gain much useful insight and practical ability from this eclectic and enticing volume, which is part staged workbook, part magical tapestry of the universe. Using information, ideas and techniques gleaned from centuries of occult traditions, philosophy, humour, psychology, politics, sociology, art, history, science, religion, the accumulated output of numerous schools of magical thought and practice, and much more besides, this book synthesises an introductory ritual magical self-teaching syllabus suitable for the 21st Century.
Via the manageable stages of working through the methods in the book, beginners in this field can safely and happily commence on a progressive, creative, fascinating magical path. This path will soon expand into a broad highway, from where every new beginner will be able to direct their own explorations of the magical universe with confidence, after practicing the thorough grounding given here, and thus building a secure foundation. Don't delay.
Contains some strong concepts and a few hard lessons. Not for Minors or Moaners.
What people said about Francis Breakspear's Kaostar!
"Funny, but... more than that. Many of the ideas are truly leading-edge and thought provoking" Ramsey Dukes
"Outrageously funny and scurrilous... a wealth of handy tips" Peter J Carroll

About the Author
Francis Breakspear often wishes he was merely a convenient fiction, but while he is sometimes far more real than he thinks he should be, he has trouble with consensus reality at the best of times. He is often not sure if someone `else' is `writing him'; which gets him into all sorts of painful, and ultimately irresolvable, Cartesian gymnastics. His novel about `Evil' Black Magicians in 1990s Britain has been a work in progress for years and will perhaps see the light of day sometime in this decade, although Francis said that in the 1990s too, so don't hold your breath waiting. Francis and Dave were born in the same year and town, were educated at the same places and have been variably good friends or at each other's throats since childhood.
A social scientist, writer, inventor, amateur chemist, painter, pagan and magician, Kate Hoolu was born in France in 1971, and has dual nationality due to having one English, one French and one Danish parent. Her interests include liminal writings, radical politics, anthropology, sociology, surrealism, entheogenics, semiotics, memetics, emetics, emic-etics, film/theatre, golf, drinking vodka and lying at least once in any biography. She grumbles when labeled as a feminist, but tends to grumble at being labeled at all.In addition to being a published academic researcher of various magical areas and writing for various websites and magazines worldwide he is an ordained Pope of the Discordian Society and a Reverend of the Universal Life Church (both very serious non-serious religions), enjoys traveling and eats a lot of peanut butter.
