Publisher's Synopsis
Aleister Crowley was a noted and controversial occultist, ceremonial magician and poet. He has been called "the wickedest man in the world" or "The Great Beast 666 " or "The Master Therion" but he remained a highly influential figure over Western esotericism and the counterculture. In the part I, he provides detailed instructions for different practices of yogic breathing and meditation. In part II, he explains a simple form of magick, harmonized from many systems old and new, describing the various weapons of the Magician and the furniture of his temple. For Crowley, the practice of magick is essentially to be used for attaining the Knowledge and Conversation of one's Holy Guardian Angel. If both parts are thoroughly studied and understood, the student will have obtained a real grasp of all the fundamentals and essentials of both Magick and Mysticism.(Glossary included)
