  • I Intellectus

    Being that I do not live close to a Temple or college and know noone in my general vicinity that practices, I am asking for a required reading list, or just something that will point me in the right direction. I'm not asking for a map of the path, just a compass.

    "The traditional Rosicrucian Liber M does that. "

    Sure, but that's not the kind of thing you could stick on a bookshelf. 😆

            Timing out? You mean not resolving? 404?

            That's quite bizarre - the server it's on hasn't been down all day and has enough bandwidth available to serve a few hundred such sites - and it's a very lightweight page. I'm inclined to suspect some problem on your local machine. (Even more bizarre because you can reach the current page - on the same server - which is a much more demanding page to render.)

              Try this: www.ordoaa.org/studlist.htm

              But, yeah, that's the list. But you can also find lots more on that site.

                Hi Sasha, I tried the link and it worked fine as did the same one that I posted. Well, he can always try just going to the main page <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ordoaa.org">www.ordoaa.org</a><!-- w --> and then click on student syllabus.

                One book that I suggest to people is Dion Fortune's Mystical Kabbalah. I must have read it 10 times. It's easy to read, even for someone with little experience, and it explains the subject which is the blueprint for much of what we do. If someone showed some interest and asked me I would probably suggest that one before any Crowley books (depending on their level of course.)

                  Thanks everyone, I must have had some spyware or something because after I posted that, every time I tried to use a contraction the ( ' ) button would bring up a weird toolbar that wouldn't allow me to type anymore. I took care of everything though, and it seems to be working fine now.
                  Also, I found this website that has a lot of occult books available in pdf format. If anyone's interested athenaeum.asiya.org

                    I have obtained the syllabus for the curriculum of the A A, my question is "What is meant by Collected Works of A. Crowley?" Was this a book or set published under that name, if so does anyone have a link? Thanks

                      Yes - a set of three books exceptionally edited and crafted volumes which collected most of his poetry and essays prior to 1909. The actual title to search under is The Works of Aleister Crowley. One link:

                          I couldn't locate these books until I searched under:
                          Siva Samhita
                          Hatha Yoga Pradipika

                          I got tipped off to this and some other useful information on locating some of the sources here: www.outercol.org/htmldoc/require.html
