Buy follow the link to read more details about this book :Magick: Liber Aba : Book 4 (Magick Bk. 4)
Aleister Crowley was one of the most controversial figures in history; to quote him loosely, "Every man or woman is a star". Think about it, each person like a star has their own orbit, characteristics, and path. Crowley isn't for everybody and I'm not into ceremonial magick but he is a very interesting and fascinating read.

Essential Yoga Stuff for Beginners


Gaiam Yoga MatGaiam Yoga Mat


Gaiam Yoga Mat
A mat is extremely helpful for preventing slippage & unnecessary stress. Of the mats I have tried, I know Gaiam's are pretty durable & stick better than most. To prevent joint pain (esp. in the knees), put a rug under the mat, or use 2 mats right on top of each other.





Hugger Mugger Cork Yoga BlockHugger Mugger Cork Yoga Block


Hugger Mugger Cork Yoga Block
Blocks are an extremely helpful tool in yoga, especially if you aren't as flexible. I recommend getting 2 (identical) blocks. I believe this kind to be more durable than many others, like Gaiam makes.




8 Foot Cinch Buckle Yoga Strap8 Foot Cinch Buckle Yoga Strap


8 Foot Cinch Buckle Yoga Strap
A strap is also helpful, especially for those less flexible. A strap is usually just a strap, but it's probably worth spending the extra dollar for the longer length. Actually, a long belt often works just as well, but I do prefer plastic buckles, in case I get a little clumsy & hit myself!
