    With my regards,

    I need to ask you for a little guidance. I'm reading books about Thelema, Qabalah and Aleister Crowley, however there is no pattern in my study. Most of the time I got confused and regressed to where I start.

    Would you please give me your advice about which book, which study to begin with? Any help is appreciated.

      Well, you posted this in a section about my book Pearls of Wisdom. I honestly think it might be the very best place for you to start (and I'd think that if I hadn't written it). You can get the book from Amazon or from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thelema.org/publications">www.thelema.org/publications</a><!-- w -->

          Agreed. The three zero chapters at the beginning of Pearls are, IMO, the single best introduction one can find.

          While you're waiting for it to arrive, I might recommend:

          the Introduction to Magick in Theory and Practice
          hermetic.com/crowley/book-4/defs.html

          followed by

          Book 4, pts. 1 & 2
          100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/book_4_part_1_1911/book_4_part_1_1911.htm
          100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/book_4_part_2_1913/book_4_part_2_1913.htm

          Don't worry so much about all of his cross references to other works. You can dig into those later. But for a good basic overview of all the pieces, that should do you well.

              Thanks for the advice and sorry for using wrong section for this post.

                Not a problem. It seems you primarily wanted to discuss Pearls of Wisdom anyway 😄
