Always Wondering
After reading a lot of recommended bits and pieces of GD material I felt too scattered and bought Self-Initiation into the Golden Dawn Tradition by Chich Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, as there is no temple or support in my area. However I wanted Crowley's instruction on the LBRP which led me to an old AT spirituality thread where Liber O was mentioned with emphasis on the introduction. Perhaps I should have called this thread Liber O intro.
I don't plan on taking on anything but the LBRP and related issues for now. Past experience with "magic" has made me cautious. I am still practicing the introduction section in the book. They recommend the very basics for four to six months, but I could see it going a year, if only to learn patience. I hope by then I will have enough understanding and discipline to make initiation choices.
So basically I am a pre-Neophyte chicken peeking around the corner some.
Thanks for the warning. I have a lot of respect for caution. I've had long trusted "spirit guides" take a turn on me (which I now understand was my mind obsessed with a result.) No fun at all. So I am back to baby steps.
