Title: A sound work...
Review: After looking in the bibliography section of "Modern Magick," by Donald Michael Kraig, I came across this book. Mr. Kraig's comment on it was, "A scholarly comparison of various types of Magick. Compares Castaneda and Crowley." It didn't quite compare Crowley and Castaneda like I had hoped, but I was greatly impressed with it nonetheless.Mr. Drury has done a great job laying out the basic tenets of shamanism and comparing them with the modern (1982) western occult magical traditions. His main emphasis is on the Golden Dawn trance vision of the Kabalistic Tree of Life, the Tattva, and the Tarot. He covers such groups and people as Crowley, Dion Fortune, Spare, Servants of the Light, Jung and much more.This book is well researched and presented in a scholarly, though brief overview. It is well worth the search to find a copy. It has furthered my studies into the occult and has given me a lot to chew on about altered states of consciousness.
