I dont have the "Book of Forbidden Knowledge", although I am aware of it, and I remember charged talismans, I even think I purchased one. Dont think it worked for anything, but then who knows. I purchased a lot of books on the occult when I was very young, and I have read a few off the book shelves since then. Which of most are rehashes of the older stuff. You're right in what you are saying about black and even satanistic magic, regarding Crouch, flicking through one of the books, he describes a ritual used by Crowley, which borders on black/satanistic ritualism, which, he claims, originates from the Knights Templars. Crouch also gave courses on Hypnotism, which he describes using in rituals. A very intriguing man full of knowledge. I wonder what he would make of this forum?
As for practicing any of the occult now, I dont, however I do enjoy reading about it. Even if you dont practice there are still many things you can learn.
