This review is from: Creating Magical Tools: The Magician's Craft (Paperback)
This book with its companion volume "Ritual Use of Magical Tools" is merely the older book "Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple" split in to two separate books. If you have Secrets you won't find any thing new here.

Since 1992, when Secrets of a Golden Daivn Temple was first published, we have continued to find new ways of crafting magical implements. We have also found that many other magicians have come up with their own creative methods or helpful hints for making these items, and we wanted this material published as well. So when it came time to print a new edition of Secrets, we decided to rework the book into two volumes: Creating Magical Tools (1999), and Ritual Use of Magical Tools (2000).

Creating Magical Tools described all the symbolism and construction techniques of the implements that were previously included in Secrets of a Golden Daivn Temple: Vie Alchemy and Crafting of Magickal Implements. All of the consecration ceremonies and practical rituals were contained in a separate companion volume, Ritual Use of Magical Tools. Both books were updated with new material, endnotes, glossaries, and extensive indexes.

Creating Magical Tools has been updated again and the result is this present volume, Secrets of a Golden Dawn Temple: Book I: Creating Magical Tools.
