Description
This is the book that started it all! The basis for the smash hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Gregory Maguire's breathtaking New York Times bestseller Wicked views the land of Oz, its inhabitants, its Wizard, and the Emerald City, through a darker and greener (not rosier) lens. Brilliantly inventive, Wicked offers us a radical new evaluation of one of the most feared and hated characters in all of literature: the much maligned Wicked Witch of the West who, as Maguire tells us, wasn’t nearly as Wicked as we imagined.

The Order was divided into various grades, each representing a different level of attainment and knowledge. Initiates would progress through these grades, gaining access to increasingly advanced teachings and practices. This hierarchical structure was intended to ensure that individuals were adequately prepared and developed before moving on to more advanced and potentially powerful magical practices. Throughout the Golden Dawn system, there is a strong emphasis on ritual work and ceremonial magic. The Order developed a detailed and complex system of rituals and ceremonies, drawing on ancient and esoteric traditions. These rituals were regarded as tools for both personal and collective transformation, allowing individuals to tap into higher realms of consciousness and commune with spiritual forces. Although the Golden Dawn as an organization disbanded in the early 20th century, its system of magic continues to be influential and widely practiced today. Many modern magical and esoteric traditions trace their origins back to the Golden Dawn and incorporate its teachings and practices. The integrated golden dawn system of magic provides a comprehensive and structured approach to magical practice, offering individuals a pathway to self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual enlightenment..

1. John - 2/5 - I found "The integrated golden dawn system of magic" to be overly complex and difficult to follow. The author jumps around from topic to topic without providing enough information or explanation. It feels like they assume the reader already has a deep understanding of magic and the Golden Dawn system, which I personally do not. Overall, I found the book to be frustrating and not helpful in my quest to learn about magic.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I was excited to learn about the Golden Dawn system of magic, but this book left me disappointed. The author's writing style is convoluted and confusing, making it hard to grasp the concepts they are trying to explain. The lack of clear structure in the book also adds to the confusion. I feel like I wasted my time and money on a book that fails to deliver the information and guidance it promises.
3. Amy - 2/5 - As a beginner in magic, I was hoping "The integrated golden dawn system of magic" would provide a solid foundation and guidance. However, I found it to be overwhelming and intimidating. The author's use of jargon and complex terminology made it difficult to follow along. Additionally, the book could have benefited from more practical exercises and examples to help put the concepts into practice. Overall, I would not recommend this book to beginners looking for an accessible introduction to the Golden Dawn system.
