OK, I'm back with my initial report!Teheuti said:Please let us know after you've had a chance to look at the book if this is really what you were looking for. Your "newbie" response will help all of us gain more perspective on what can be most helpful.

I've read, not all, but alot of the beginning chapters of the Duquette book. I found them extremely interesting as I didn't know much true information about Crowley other than the weirdness surrounding him.
Some of the more intricate stuff is beyond me right now - since I'm still in the beginning stages of learning. Pretty much the stuff I don't want to get into yet is still confusing - the kabbalah and the rosy cross stuff. I will probably want to learn this later just not quite yet.
But I do really like Duquette's book. He does write extremely well and in easy to understand english. Not just crowley/thoth english!
If you remember earlier in this thread I said I had read another thread talking about the Aeon card. I really didn't understand what the Aeon card meant so looked up the thread talking about it. Well I had NOT one blankety blank clue what you all were saying. It was like you were talking in a different language. But......Duquette explained it very well. It was like a lightbulb went off. "OH! That's what the Aeon card means!"
I haven't even finished all the beginning chapters yet, but wanted to give you my initial thoughts.
