Book Synopsis

Learning Ritual Magic is a training manual for anyone serious about learning solitary magic based on the Western Mystery Traditions, including tarot, ritual magic, Qabala, and astrology. It provides a solid grounding in the techniques of high magic with a series of exercises designed to develop basic skills in imagination, will, memory, visualization, and self-knowledge-absolute fundamentals in magical attainment. While the authors discuss the essentials of magical theory, the real value of this system is the focus on daily, basic practice ending with a ceremony of self-initiation.
