Default 2 great books for beginners and experts alike!

Hey everybody! I haven't been able to get on the forums for about a week now as my internet was down, but in the meantime I've been researching and studying like crazy! I have bought 2 books that are EXTREMELY informative and I think everyone should check them out if they haven't!

the first:

"The Origional Account of the Teachings, Rites and Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order of, The Golden Dawn" by Israel Regardie. (I picked up the 6th edition) -This book is incredible! It takes you through just about everything from beginner to adept, I have found it to so far be the single best literature purchase I have made.

the second:

"The Magician's Companion: A Practical and Encyclopedic Guide to Magical and Religious Symbolism" by Bill Whitcomb. -This is also proving to be an invaluable reference and outlines every form of magick, has tables of runes, alphabets, word pronunciation
ect. Awesome read!

I'm still just a noobie to the occult, but I still just have to reccomend these.

-Mike

The only books anyone ever really needs in my opinion:
Book IV, and Magick Without Tears. I've found it's all in there, just like with the proverbial egg.

AUMGn.

0. The Many are from the One are from the None.
1. You are the only God that is; a finite expression of something infinitely larger and thus beyond yourself.
2. All Deific Masks, Archetypes, powers or spirits must manifest through you. Therefore, to remain in your consciousness, you must be the strongest to keep your foundation identity. See #1
