For those interested in the Golden Dawn... 
This book is ideal for those curious about or interested in the Golden Dawn. It gives you a general idea of what the Golden Dawn encompasses, helping you decide if this path is for you. It is easy to comprehend but at the same time more extensive in the history of magic than I expected. It gives honest insight to the history of the Golden Dawn and the pioneers who despite their flaws started one of the greatest mystery schools to touch so many, on so many different levels.

Essential reading
A brilliant introduction to the Golden Dawn for this reader. Very well wriiten and full of what I would say is some very valuable information for those, like me, who are looking into high magic and preparing for a more disciplined education in spirituality. Many, if not all, of the concepts I have either long believed or felt on an intuitive level. I've just ordered the book by Israel Regardie and the self initiation book by the Cicero's after reading the "Essential Golden Dawn".

Golden Dawn - Updated for our times 
The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie updated by the Ciceros is a very complete edition. It is a hard read, only because of the detail and sheer volume of information. But it is very illuminating.

The overview of the work of the GD covers only the introductory grades and is brief. If you're at all familiar with the subject, you'll find it to be a dull retelling of... more info
