The Sorcerer's Secrets: Strategies in Practical Magick

This is a practical guide to magick written by a working practitioner who wants results you can see in everyday life. The author argues that magick can produce real change in the outer world as well as inner growth, setting it apart from books that treat the art as only spiritual or only psychological. The opening section lays out the qualities, concepts and exercises needed before attempting sorcery. The second part offers strategies for approaching many kinds of problems, combining spellwork with ordinary action, judging whether a working is succeeding, adjusting when it is not, and influencing other people. It is meant as a field manual rather than a simple collection of spells.
