>Just got done with pic related and was sorely disappointed.

Man you're not kidding. The film adaptation is a favorite of mine but that book was so shit. Literally nothing: the book.

Yeah man, I really like the film ending...thought this was going to elaborate on it but things just kind of sizzled out.

Eliphas Levi, History of Magic, Trancedental Magic. He is a total showboating fraud, but so is Crowley, and reading him will give you more so-called occult knowledge than most of the pretentious wannabe occultists today who just crib shit from wiki and youtube.

Secret Agent 666 - Alastair Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult by Richard Spence is great. It has espionage, skullduggery and sex magic galore. Richard Spence is a tenured professor at some US uni if you were thinking he is some conspiracy loon hack - the book is well referenced and scholarly while being easy and exciting to read.

Being a tenured professor at an American university is not even remotely proof that an author is not a lunatic or charlatan
