I own the Herbal Encyclopedia, and it's really very helpful. I haven't even opened the other encyclo., but I imagine it's much the same. I've found Cunningham's stuff really very informative, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I haven't really delved into Crowley's big blue book, but from what I've read it's interesting...very different from Cunningham's....what the heck is Thelema?
I definately agree about the company. I always wrinkle my nose at something they publish that is so obviously wrong...and you should hear the people when I tell them that what they're reading is absolute garbage! You'd swear I'd've said magic didn't exist!!! Despite the fact that I invariably have one or two books on Magic/Alternate beliefs in hand.
I also have that one by Ravenwolf. It was the first one I bought actually and I really didn't like some of the spells she claimed to use...didn't sit right, but Obscurus is right as far as symbolism and such she's fairly in line with everything else I've read.
Crowley had a big, blue book? Where? I know Buckland does...are you confusing the two?
Anyway, Thelema was Crowley's path that is based around the rule: "Do what thou wilt." The Book of the Law explains it better than I can. It is truly fascinating.
*headdesk* yes actually I am confusing the two. sweatdrop mrgreen I'll see if I can get my hands on a copy.
The above confusion is why people should never take me fully seriously. I get s**t wrong over half the time lol
