The object of this course of reading is to familiarize the student with all that has been said by
the Great Masters in every time and country. He should make a critical examination of them;
not so much with the idea of discovering where truth lies, for he cannot do this except by
virtue of his own spiritual experience, but rather to discover the essential harmony in those
varied works He should be on his guard against partisanship with a favorite author. He should
familiarize himself thoroughly u with the method of mental equilibrium, endeavoring to
contradict any statement soever, although it may be apparently axiomatic.
The general object of this course, besides that already stated, is to assure sound education
in occult matters, so that when spiritual illumination comes it may find a well-built temple.
Where the mind is strongly biased towards any special theory, the result of an illumination is
often to inflame that portion of the mind which is thus overdeveloped, with the result that the
aspirant, instead of becoming an Adept, becomes a bigot and fanatic.
The A A does not offer examination in this course, but recommends these books as the
foundation of a library.

c. The Golden Ass, or a Book of Changes by Apuleius
d. The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope

g. Dracula by Bram Stoker
h. Scientific Romances by HC Hinton
i. Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
j. The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights
k. Le Morte DArthur by Thomas Mallory Vol.1-2
l. The Writings of William Blake
m. Macbeth by William Shakespeare
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 helpful lines of thought.
It has been impossible to do more in this list than to suggest a fairly comprehensive course
of reading.

Course VIII publications are especially suited to the grade of Major Adept, whose task is the
attainment of the full Magical Power. It is highly desirable that Aspirants to this grade should
have attained the 9th degree of O.T.O., in which case much secret knowledge is offered them
besides that openly published. The methods of examination for the Inner College differ
therefore from those employed in the Outer.
