I'm a young man, American. So my pineal gland is probably already calcified. But I still want to learn positive magicks, only to help those around me and steer my species away from the negative direction we are heading. The only reason I state this is so, anyone who would offer advice knows my intentions are only positive, I'm not looking to obtain power or even greatly Benifet from the practices I could learn here. I simply want to become more in touch with my spiritual side and less in touch with my materialistic side. Any general advice on books to pick up would be make me. Very thankfull student of the esoteric arts.
