I just finished reading The Twelve keys by Basil Valentine. I can't really say too much of what I got from it because that would require a considerable amount of typing and a few books to read first, but it was a very good read. He explains in plain words what is being referred to by the stone being of "five, four, three, two, and one" which is rather helpful overall in alchemy.

P.S. Initiation into Hermetics by Franz Bardon is probably the best book I have read on Practical Magic.  I will be rereading all the books I have read so far in about a year and I will put a little bitty review for each when I read them ^_^ (except maybe the Three Books of Occult Philosophy >.>)

I just finished reading The Secret Book of Artephius. This short 12 page book was an amazingly wonderful read. It helped explain not only Fire, but Water and the significance of Whiteness in alchemy. I also realized quite a few things about sol and Luna while reading this wonderful little book.  Once again, another book that puts forth some of the aspects of Alchemy in a straight forward manner that is just barely hidden from view under symbolical language.

The Seven Hermetic Letters I kinda found it funny because The Kybalion states 7 principals of magic and thought something with the number 7 was important because of that. Other then that it was almost exsactly like France bardons book Initiation into Hermetics. A little cut and dry for me though I like Initiation into hermetics because it explained about the elemental properties.  Other then that I get The Seven Hermetic Letters a 4 out of 10. Later all till next time.

While this isn't normally viewed as an occult theory or practical book I believe it is of TREMENDOUS value to the aspirant, psion, or BEA practitioner.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey

I just finished this book last night and plan to implement as much of the habits as I can starting next Monday. I have done part of it before but stopped reading due to family issues and now that I have finished the book I can see what a powerful package it can be. It details how to keep your life in balance, under control, and have rich "interpersonal" relationships with people. 

I would strongly suggest it to any person who is start a path in the energy arts or magick and are staying involved in the world.

This book is second in my mind only to The Kybalion as the best book for an aspirant to read.

The Mystical Kabahallah By Dion fortiune.
6 out of 10 for practical knowledge.
I found her look at it slightly incitfull but I felt she was trying to make us use her personal truths when we should find our own once in awhile to make them more powerfull to us. Other then that it helps understand a certian perspectyive on how the universal machine works from the source. AKA kethier

Okay not to be a troll... but we need to get our community back into reading books and e~books. So if you have e~books and links you can post reviews or comment on others reviews here. I plan to start up the library and get it spun up again eventually before the summer of 2011. So any help would be appreciated.
