Magick in Theory and Practice

De: Aleister Crowley

Narrado por: Benjamin Regan

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.

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

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”.

The law of "Thelma"

The reader has a good voice and reads at a nice pace, but some of the pronunciation is cringeworthy and grating to the ears.

Do what thou wilt

There might be some words that get mispronounced with regularity, but the wealth of knowledge found within this book is still readily available for the ears ready to hear it!

Now when you read other comments

...and know what obstacles you will encounter while studying, do not feel intimidated. With minimum persistence you will find the proper pronunciation of some mispronounced names which appear not so often in the reading and even if not , AI of a search engine will correct your attempts to follow further immediately. Invaluable content of the book remains intact by small faults of a human being.

Laugh out loud pronunciation

The Book is the apex and crown jewel of Crowley’s writings. The narration is so full of mispronunciation that it sounds like a cruel prank. How this person was ever allowed to read this aloud into a microphone is beyond me.

Good book, poor pronunciation

the content was amazing but the pronunciation from the sky was pretty bad. make sure you're saying the words right.

Distracting Mispronunciation

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."

93,93/93 !!

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 !!

Good

it did sound a little monotone. But had all the words necessary to convey the message.

Very distracted by the mispronunciations of words.

It’s unfortunate that someone who sounds like they have never come near an esoteric subject before chose to read this book, I tried to push past it but it is pretty frustrating how this isread. The mispronunciations are not the end of it, the dryness in which it is read is unbearable. Not my kind of intonation.
