Title: Cool Book
Review: The Book of Lies presents a really cool exploration of real life magic theory, like Wicca. It may be that some of the content might disturb some people. Yes, one might discover some wisdom in the novel as well, but Crowley simultaneously pokes clever fun at the rich and their dabbling into occult practices. The black magicians are hilarious. The Golden Dawn humor is mostly accessible only to those with considerable inside knowledge of hermetic practices, but even a general audience can get the sense there is some jest. Again, this is not to say that Crowley does not take his practices seriously. He does! But he does so with a sense of humor. This is the great mage at his silliest.
