Book Recommendations

[Hannah]

93,

As we begin shaping the Book Club, this thread will be our space to gather recommendations for future reads. The goal is to keep a balance between primary Thelemic texts, related esoteric writings, and thoughtful secondary sources that give us new perspectives.

How It Works

Drop your book recommendations in the replies — title + author, and maybe a line or two about why you think it would be a good choice.

Once we’ve gathered a solid list, we’ll vote on which book to start with.
We’ll rotate between Crowley’s works and other texts so there’s variety.
