Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.
Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.
The concept of a magic mirror has always fascinated me. These instructions are quite good and practical. I suppose I had hoped to understand a bit more of the theory behind the symbology recommended in this book. As magic goes, one should always understand the basis for using symbols and their meanings before creating works. I will keep this review up and let you know if I find good references.

Get your hands on this book as soon as you can. Only went through two print runs and it is the best book I've ever found about making and using your black mirror. If you scry this is a must have in my opinion.
