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. ( )

Bardon is the quintessential magic teacher.
The original title in german is clearer = the way to the true Adept (der Weg zum wahren Adepten).
It's a course, there is a shorter first part about theory then there are ten degrees of practice. The practice is the simultaneous development of the physical, astral and mental bodies.
This course is every true seeker's dream come true. Uncounted generations have died searching for such a help. Blessed the time when such a revelation of magic in plain language is possible.
There's much material about Bardon on the web. ( )

Book description
Self-initiation into the Holy Mysteries with the need of a guru or master. Initiation into Hermetics provides step by step instruction in the form of practical exercises. These exercises lead to the development of body, soul and spirit. The result of the practical exercises is the development of occult abilities which can be of benefit to the student, in as far as he can change his existence for the better.
The great mystery of the Tetragrammaton, the key to the tetrapolar magnet, is explained. By reading the theoretical section many secrets are unveiled which were once only known to very few. The reader will receive first-hand knowledge about the principles of fire, air, water and earth, the positive and negative attributes of these elements, and how these elements affect the human body. The immutable law of cause and effect is explained, not only as it applies to human beings, but also how it applies to the elements. Detailed information is also given about the soul or the astral body, and how the four elements determine the temperament in a person.

The astral plane is considered to be "the beyond" by most religions. This plane does have its inhabitants, most of which are departed human beings from earth. Besides that you find elementaries, beings with one or only a few attributes. It is very advantageous to learn about these beings and how they affect a human being's life. There is also another kind of being, which is a being of the pure elements. The reader will find that many myths or even fairy tales are based on truth. But mankind has lost the ability to stay in contact with reality and has chosen to live in a completely transitory world which they consider to be their reality.

The third plain, the mental plain, is also explained; it is the sphere of thought which has its origin in the world of ideas.

Each step of the practical part of this book is divided into three parts: the magical spiritual or mental schooling, soul or astral schooling, and physical schooling. This allows the student to maintain a complete equilibrium. The student learns how to control all his mental faculties even to the point that he can control every thought. He will learn self-introspection, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, astral and mental travel, control of the electric and magnetic fluids, and communication with the beings of the astral plain. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
