Wow, I can't thank you enough for recommending Meditation for Love of it! I had so many questions about meditation in the past as I struggled to discipline myself to keep a regular practice and this book just answered everything and I only just started reading it. How amazing.

The amazing Terrence McKenna. A truly great man.

Having lots of giggly fun with the 72 Angels book. Singing the names? Whoo boy I'm gonna get extra with this! ❤️

I find interesting that 72 Angels of Magick was into the top 5 but Goetia didn't make the cut (6th), even though I would asume Goetic spirits to be more efficient in more immediate tasks in a desert island, I mean I am not talking from personal experience, just thinking about what it is commonly said. Nice video as always Foolish Fish!

Thank you 🙏

Thank-you my friend, informative and gratifying. I anticipated some of your top 5 (10) but of course was surprised by at least a few (those books are now on the to-buy list). I can picture you bearded to the waist, bronzed and dread-locked, wearing a sack-cloth, and sitting in full lotus under a coconut tree communing with your HGA!

@@FoolishFishBooks Agreed. I did a rite of passage one summer that culminated in a 4 day solo fast in Northern California, on native land. I set down near a running stream; it was like being on retreat: no technology, no alarm clock, no housewares, etc. It was deep, life-changing, work. Nature possesses undeniable and surprising magic, as well as a desire to share it.

Bought three of the books right now... ^^ I just wish there were more options in my native language. Thanks for the video

Solid reasoning and praxis focused; well done! I would appreciate your insight on something. I am doing a comparative analysis of some seminal sources on the Shem; a dozen or so categories, some emphasis on functions. As he himself states, Brand deviates significantly in his attribution of Psalms from all other sources, notably, Ambelain and Cicero & Cicero. Where there is deviation, the Psalms do seem to relate to established titles and functions. Ambelain includes he English and Latin but Brand's Hebrew pronunciation is certainly of use over here. How has Brand's Psalm designations met with your practice? Also, not having caught of glimpse of Damien's new work 'Angels..,', does he mention anything on Psalms? Thank you for your consideration; stay well, JZ

Omgosh so you are foolish fish, I see you in chats on livestreams. 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Awesome ✨😎✨ Great picks here, love them all. 📚

I always love your videos, your so knowledgeable.. so... soooo... KNOWLEDGEABLE. And I am obsessed with your book collection🖤💮. That first book, the collected works of C.G. Jung on Psychology and Alchemy, as I can see it, it's volume 12, do I need to buy the previous volumes to understand the information inside the Psychology and Alchemy? Or I can have it and understand it on its own, like it has its own system? Because I don't have the budget to buy all the collected works of C.G. Jung😅. Blessed Be🖤💮.

Hiya fish, I saw the video on bibliomancy and was wondering if you could do one on axinomamcy? I've tried to find info and, well, I imagine you be a lot better at it than me

Which book would you recommend for a beginner?

Volume is better on this!!

Hi...I would like to know if the book " The Goetia of Dr. Rudd" is the same book as " Keys to the Gateway of Magic: Summoning the Solomonic Archangels and Demon Princes" Thank so much

It there a place where I can these on audible? I need help reading. And am so interested in these books.

I saw in one of your esoteric saturday videos, you mentioned wanting to get a copy of "The Complete Mystical Records of John Dee", but missed your opportunity, and the price skyrocketed. They recently release the 3 volume Paperback edition. There are a few still available on Amazon, and other retailers. Is around $120. Stock is getting low, so now maybe your chance to add it to your collection. I picked up mine, and it is Amazing! Take care dude. PS. you should consider acquiring a twitter account.

Now, you do surprise me re the AoM

Again, very helpful. Of these 10 books, if a person is very new to the practice of magic (to date only having been performing the LBRP & LIRP, and some minimal mediation, and only for about 2 months so far), but is very serious about learning / practicing, which ONE of these books would you say is the best to start with? (Just in watching your video and reading the book descriptions, my first thought is Mysteria Magica. But I would love to hear your thought on the matter.)

I think you'd be put off by Mysteria Magica with no background. It asumes you know the Hebrew alphabet (at least, greek helps too!), it also assumes you have a well-established practice already. I would start with Duquette. 100% There isn't a signe other author that I would recommend more heartily than him. Echols may feel more interesting at first because he helps you get stuck in straight away, but "why things are the way they are" is not something he seems to care too much about. Duquette gives all this background in a humorous, easy to access way, which then makes it possible for you to decise if those reasons are good enough for you, and then tweak your practice in ways that don't break the system.

why are the sigils in Goetia of Dr Rudd so low quality? they look like they've been photocopied 15 times. someone should've just redrawn them in HD.

Meditating on tarot cards is a game changer! Crystal balls are great if you're someone that feels connected to crystals. I love mine! The pendulum, eh, I don't really use it. I don't see them as props but as tools.

I don't practice magick as I am to scared of it. I am a bit of a armchair bookreader so would any of these books be intelligible or are they like reading cookbooks in latin. 😕 I always wanted to meet LMD for some reason. A young lady came into my place of employment and mentioned she was a close friend of LMD and offered an introduction. Again I shied away. Just a comment about LMD.
