Ierne: I'd hate to come off all wanky, making my new entry into the magic forum by holding forth about things I don't like, but the Amazon reviews (yeah, I know they're hardly reliable, but they give a general impression) of 'Modern Magick' largely suggested that the author was taking something of an old fashioned, absolutist, 'these specific thunderous incantations or nothing' approach to magick, which I just .. don't dig, basically (that and it has a really uncool cover).
Oh, and, yeah, Liber KKK looks like a lot more fun. So long as Carroll refrains from bringing his more .. frightening .. 'philosophies' into play. (Um, by which I mean, having read Liber Null, I find he's pretty sound on the practical side of things, but his more abstract ramblings vary betweeen silly and plain distasteful).
I'll quit whining now, and maybe even consider saying something positive one day.. |

), to be comfortable with what's being studied – it's got to feel right. If a group of people are going to study Magick together, they all need to have the same interest level in the project. If one (or more) of the group isn't feeling it, it's good to have that expressed openly so the others can take stock and make sure they're comfortable with what they're doing. I've been in group situations where one or two people just weren't happy with the direction the group was taking, but never said anything; it took major drama to find out that those folks just didn't want to practice Magick that way, they wanted to do things differently.
