THE EQUINOX
MacseTH; MipsuMMER NicHT’s DrEaM; THE TEMPEST,
by W. Shakespeare. Interesting for traditions treated.
REDGAUNTLET, by Sir Walter Scott. Also one or two other
novels. Interesting for traditions treated.
Ros Roy, by James Grant. Interesting for traditions
treated.
Tue Magician, by W. Somerset Maugham. An amus-
ing hotch-pot of stolen goods.
TuE BIBLE, by various authors unknown. The Hebrew
and Greek Originals are of Qabalistic value. It contains also
many magical apologues, and recounts many tales of folk-
lore and magical rites.
Kim, by Rudyard Kipling. An admirable study of East-
ern thought and life.
Many other stories by this author are highly suggestive
and informative.
For Mythology, as teaching Correspondences:
Books of Fairy Tales generally.
Oriental Classics generally.
Sufi Poetry generally.
Greek and Latin Classics generally.
Scandinavian and Teutonic Sagas generally.
Celtic Folk-Lore generally.
This course is of general value to the beginner. While it
is not to be taken, in all cases, too seriously, it will give him
a general familiarity with mystical and magical tradition,
create a deep interest in the subject, and suggest many help-
ful lines of thought.
It has been impossible to do more, in this list, than to sug-
gest a fairly comprehensive course of reading.
