Widely regarded as his major work, Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice is an extensive treatise on magick, a system of Western occult practice synthesized from many sources, including Eastern yoga, hermeticism, medieval grimoires, contemporary magical theories, and Crowley's own original contributions. As important today as when it was first written, Magick in Theory and Practice is essential listening for anyone interested in occultism.

You should at least have a general knowledge of the occult to narrate a book like this. Nothing but mispronunciation after mispronunciation. He even calls “Thelema” “Thelma”.

Amazing work from Crowley. Should have had a different narrator.

The readers voice is perfect but he cannot pronounce simple esoteric words. So much so, that sometime I was so distracted trying to understand the words he was mispronouncing, that I lost track of all thought and focus on the book.

Wonderful Book, Aweful Pronunciation

Magick in Theory and Practice is one of the masterworks of Aleister Crowley and one of the great classics of the Western Esoteric Tradition. If you care about this kind of stuff, you should care about this book. Which is why it deserves a much better production that this.

Oh, the sound is ok, and the reader's voice is good, but he mispronounces a whole lotta stuff. Important stuff. Some of it is understandable (pronouncing Netzach with a "ch" as in "cheese" when it should be "ch" as in "loch"), some of it is inexplicable (reading the title of one of the chapters as "The Nature and Nature of the Magical Link" when it should be "The Nature and Nurture of the Magical Link"), and some of it is downright unforgivable (pronouncing "Thelema" as "Thelma").

So, if you are just getting started in this material and down really know how to pronounce a lot of the specialist jargon of the Qabalah and Magick, just don't rely on this reading for correct pronunciation-- oh, and it is "Crow-lee" not "Crou-ly."

I am definitely a Brother …. Thelemite
as well an Initiate within our holy order. Just saying, IQ would be willing to read any and all books by the Master Therion,
or any other Author concerning the vast realm ov Hermetics. 93 !!

Arguably the single most important work of Aleister Crowley. I was happy to find it here on Audible, but this narrator seems to have a tenuous grasp on English. From one point forward in the book, "magus" is pronounced "magnus." Surely the publisher can find an average thelemite to read it properly. If you are interested, I will record the entire book myself for free! A black smudge on a product that should necessarily be available on Audible.
