A fine training program for magicians! Franz Bardon presents a series of graduated exercises in three categories (spiritual/mental; soul/astral; physical) and ten steps for the purpose of combined magical and mystical development.Valuable for magicians practicing any Western Esoteric Tradition (whether Golden Dawn, British Traditional Wicca, chaos magic, etc.) some of these exercise were in use by early NROOGD practitioners. --Anna Korn

I have the 1971 hardcover, somewhat damaged by smoke. This is the book that instructed north american witches in how to do energy-based magic back in the 1970s.

Pleasantly suprised by this book. It really corrals a lot of diverse material of hermetics into a coherent no-nonsense philosophy. One can only fully apprecited its approach after sifting thru many other books on the subject.

THE single finest training programme for magicians! Franz Bardon presents a series of graduated exercises in three categories (spiritual/mental; soul/astral; physical) and ten steps for the purpose of combined magical and mystical development. I believe that no magician practicing in any aspect of the Western Esoteric Tradition (whether Golden Dawn, British Traditional Wicca, chaos magic, etc.) can be without this training.
