"The practice of chaos magic is clearly outlined by Peter J. Carroll in this double volume containing Liber Null and Psychonaut. Liber Null contains a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists who are aware of their own being. Practical instructions lead the reader through new concepts. Psychonaut explores a shamanistic relationship to the community, and teaches readers how to perform magic in a group." --Back cover.

Pretty cool postmodern magic

4 stars

First actual magic book I read, but I like the way it generalizes ritualistic principles. You can read it literally or not, I think it could be a good guide for gaining a bit more control of one's subjective experience.

Review of 'Liber Null & Psychonaut' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

To be honest, I found it too brief. It's not horrible, but I would have enjoyed some context to it all. Even the companion volume, Psychonaut, did not satisfy me.

The book is, however, meant to be practical, so I can see why he would cut out some theory. I will probably revisit this book in due time, but at this time I'm unable to understand all the praise it gets.
