The Left Hand Path
By Tapio Kotkavuori
Introduction Dr. Michael A. Aquino
From the Introduction All too often, “magical” books simply throw a collection of rituals or superstitions at the reader. These don’t work, as Frazer observes, because they are merely unthinking recitals. You might as well say “E=mc2” without knowing what that formula actually signifies.
This book, however, will introduce you to what you need to know to become a competent, effective, and ethical magician. It won’t make you an expert; that, as in any skill, you must develop within yourself through practice and experience.
You are about to embark upon a great adventure: the expansion of your perception of reality beyond the obvious, the mundane, and the ordinary. It won’t be easy or simple, but once you have opened this door, I promise you that you will never be content to close it.
