For the beginner, I would also highly recommend that you read the first article in The Golden Dawn Legacy of MacGregor Mathers (Golden Dawn Studies No 23) by S. L. MacGregor Mathers, Moina Mathers, and Darcy Kuntz. The article is called "On the General Misconception of the One-ness of True Occultism However Varied ita Masks" by S. L. MacGregor Mathers. This may clear up some of the ideas that some "seekers" have about what magic is and what it most certainly is not!
