Philosophies of Magic Despite its title, this book doesn't really seem to be about what I would call “living magic.” Rather, this has been written by four ceremonial magicians, and each chapter is an essay written by one of them that touches on their history with magic, philosophies, and other aspects of magic. It feels rather loose and disjointed, with no true organization. If you're hoping for a book that will help you actually practice “living magic,” you will be disappointed as it has little of “practical” use. Not to say that some essays are not fascinating or good reads that get you thinking… because they are on both counts. If you are interested in intellectually exploring magical concepts, you might enjoy the insights offered by four well-practiced magicians. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
