Has anyone here worked through all twenty-five conjurations in this body of work? Are they all worth doing or are some just a waste of time? Does it really take a full year to complete all twenty-five conjurations or is that just a ballpark figure?

Seems to me you could do 'em in an evening.

I saw that text a couple of years back and didn't really think much of it. I'd far rather practice on my own time and terms, with methods I feel comfortable with. I know some people get a lot out of working with something that's been written down, things that've supposedly "worked for someone else"... but it's never really mattered to me.

Basically I'm sure doing "all 25 conjurations" would be good mental exercise but it doesn't really click with me.

Beh, different strokes.

Liber KKK is, in fact, the best guide to freeform magick around specifically because there ARE no guidelines. I started working it in mid-99 and burnt out at conjuration 16 around a year later; it is a HUGE commitment, specifically because each level requires you to get five confirmed successes before moving on to the next. Initiates of the IOT are required to perform it before moving on to the 2nd degree; at the time I was just trying to get to the 4th (six months of continued MMM) so I was overacheiving a bit and the combined strain of that and drug use made my head collapse on itself. So don't take it lightly; like Peter Carroll says it IS the replacement for Sacred Magic of Abra-Melin.

It is the funnest thing ever, too.

If you're the Antlerhead that's fresh out of high school I want it on record that you are a bad, bad person, and your karma is waiting round the corner with a sockfull of sand. I know this because you are all, like, young and shit, and nobody understands and acheives in mayjique (as us Higher types call it) at your age unless they cheat. You're obviously practicing Low Magick, with a callous disregard for all around you. You have no compuction at all in warping the very weft of the universe to your own selfish ends. Cease now, and I won't have to tell the Higher Authorities.

So there.

Is this book written by P.Carroll? Who is it published by? What does the KKK refer to?

I haven't finished yet, but it's been a great guide for me to explore magic. Great beginning ideas.
