No.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

I could research this myself, but I choose not to. Demon, what is the book about? You might as well tell me your thoughts about it as well. I am curious.

I havn't read all of it (that's why I wanted some opions on it), but I do know a little about it. Basiclly, it's a book on cerimonial magic, and how to summon one's "Holy Guardian Angel". I know the first part of the book is the story of how this magic got passed down. The second part covers how to summon your HGA. I hear that this process is a long and teedious, and demands a lot of things. The third part is about "magical squares" which are like these talismans to accomplish magickal feats. I know there's ones to change the weather, kill people, make people sick, and a lot of other things. I've also heard that it contains the names and sigils of the demons from Goetia (The Lesser Keys of Solomon), but I don't know if it's true. Hopefully soon I'll have the money to buy it for myself. Then, I will post a much better summary of the book. If you're a Thelemite, Crowley fan, a mage/practicioner of magic, or a McGregor-Mathers fan, the book is for you. Well, I guess that's needless to say, since McGregor-Mathers compiled the book.
