Screw Apple

After reading this, there isn't enough money in the world to make me ever want to work at Apple.

You're most welcome. :-) Anything by Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, Frater Albertus, and a few others would be excellent; I gave you titles of their works I have found particularly useful, but there are plenty of others that are good. You should also get a good textbook on geology, and one on physical chemistry and biochemistry, if you don't already have them, so that you can learn the properties of minerals and organic substances, which is very useful when learning alchemy, qaballah, and Magick. Two other types of reference I have found particularly useful, many examples of which I have in my own personal library, are good texts on astrobiology and fire science/scholasticism. I've reviewed a number of these on my blog; click on the following tags to see them: http://polaris93.livejournal.com/tag/astrobiology, http://polaris93.livejournal.com/tag/peter%20d%20ward, http://polaris93.livejournal.com/tag/stephen%20j%20pyne, http://polaris93.livejournal.com/tag/books (and, if you like, follow up with the tags that come up on posts accessed via these links). Along with my literary partner, Rich Ransdell, I have written a number of novels in a science-fiction series called Here There Be Dragons, published versions of some of which can be found at http://www.iuniverse.com/Bookstore/BookSearchResults.aspx?Search=dragon%20drive. One of the central characters of that series is an astrobioligist, a man named Monty Eisenstein, who is also a Ceremonial Magickian. So we've had to do a lot of research on the science as well as the mysteries. :-)
