Weiser, 1992, 0-87728-742-2. "Eight Magics" sets up "Colors of Magic" as revealed by Terry Pratchett in one of his wonderful romps titled "The Colour of Magic". A really wretched about face for the IOT can be found as Appendix 4 ... it is titled Liber Pactionis ... which sets up grades and hierarchy. The office of Insubordinate may be fun, but this does not offset the rather dire tone set for the "Order of Chaos" ... the end being Excommunication. Visual Magick: A Manual of Freestyle Shamanism.

Three Trilogies: The Magickal Revival, Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God, Cults of the Shadow. Nightside of Eden, Outside the Circles of Time, Hecate's Fountain. Outer Gateways, Unknown, Unknown. They deal pretty much with a version of the OTO, A.A., Golden Dawn tradition taken from Crowley with aspects of Voodoo, HPL and other sources mixed in. The books are scholarly enough, as expected from Grant, although his use of qabalistic techniques on Crowley's Liber AL in the light of HPL is total rubbish.

"Venom is in the steel, and wounds it gives cannot be healed by leechcraft or magic or prayer. Yet this is the curse on it: that each time it is drawn it must drink blood, and in the end, somehow, it will be the bane of him who wields it." One of the inspirations for Moorcock's Elric series.

Order Out of Chaos. lya Prigogine and Isabel Stengers. The latter was written as a book on quantum physics, but provides one of the best and most likely models of the "mechanics" of magick I've yet seen. Prigogine won the Nobel prize for his work while simultaneously creating what may well be the most important book on magick in the last 50 years. For those familiar with Carroll's "Equations of Magick," this book will help to sew up some of the questions that arise. Turbulent Mirror. John Briggs and F. David Peat. The Constructed Realities.

Referred to as the Simon edition. "there are no effective banishings for the forces invoked in the Necronomicon itself!" Readily avaliable at shlock bookstores throughout the midwest and is most likely the one that edu's will come in drooling about. Little bits of HPL's and Crowley's work snuck into the soup, but the main text is butchered Babylonian/Sumerian. Useful techs in the book include The Sword of The Watcher, The Cracked Bowl and The Burning Bowl. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- An Introduction to Chaos Magick. Adrian Savage. Magickal Childe, 1988, 0-939708-13-2. $7 for a really awful gloss in 15 point type. Kind of steep for a few bio notes of some chaos magickians and a seven book biblio.
