Also, for learning about occulty shit, FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM by Eco is a must, and i'd also say read basically anything by Patricia McKillip.

Yeah, like i said, i'd start Chaos (and you!) with either ALPHABET OF THORN or THE BOOK OF ATRIX WOLFE.
(People who are neither you nor Chaos, i tend to start on either IN THE FORESTS OF SERRE or THE TOWER AT STONY WOOD. Or for short fiction people, the collection HARROWING THE DRAGON.)
There is definitely no formal teaching in her work, and in fact her entire oeuvre rejects the idea that magic follows rules or functions according to any logic other than the logic of narrative. But her prose is, ITSELF, magic, and i do not mean that in a superficial sense.
Psychoactive prose is the magic I trust
The times i have personally held converse with Powers of various sorts, the feeling has often been very similar to the feeling of really sinking into a McKillip book.
I'm sure she's not everybody's thing, but i definitely can't praise her highly enough, myself.
Anyway, thanks to both of you for letting me babble on about a fave. :)
