Of all the subjects which comprise what nowadays is called Occultism, the most misunderstood of all is Magic. Even Alchemy, which to some of us is annoyingly dark and obscure, evokes far more sympathy and understanding as a rule than does Magic. For example, the psychologist Jung has observed of alchemy in his essay The Ego and The Unconscious that "it would be an unpardonable depreciation of value if we were to accept the current view, and reduce the spiritual striving of the alchemists to the level of the retort and the smelting furnace. Certainly this aspect belonged to it; it represented the tentative beginnings of exact chemistry. But it also had a spiritual side which has never yet been given its true value, and which from the psychological standpoint must not be underestimated." Yet Magic, strange to say, receives no such evaluation−−except insofar as the term Magic is allied to the unconscious, and is said to represent a primitive attempt to cognise the Unconscious. There is, hence, hardly more than the barest minimum attempt to arrive at an understanding of its processes. For the moment, I do not wish to analyse the possible reasons for this amazing phenomenon. What is more to the point, however, is to provide some more or less intelligible approach to the subject so that given an initial glimpse of the bright light flooding the world of magic, more people may feel disposed to devote just a liltle of their energies and time to its study. The advantages and benefits are such as to make this effort extremely worth while. Putting it simply and briefly, let me say at the outset that Magic concerns itself in the main with that self−same world as does modern psychology. That is to say, it deals with that sphere of the psyche of which normally we are not conscious but which exerts an enormous influence upon our lives. Magic is a series of psychological techniques so devised as to enable us to probe more deeply into ourselves. To what end? First, that we shall understand ourselves more completely. Apart from the fact that such self−knowledge in itself is desirable, an understanding of the inner nature releases us from unconscious compulsions and motivations and confers a mastery over life. Second, that we may the more fully express that inner self in every−day activities. It is only when mankind as a whole has reached, or perhaps when the more advanced men and women in the world have evolved, some degree of inner realisation that we may ever hope for that ideal utopian condition of things - a wide tolerance, peace, and universal brotherhood. It is to ends such as these that Magic owes its raison d'etre. <strong>...</strong></p>Regardie Israel - Foundations of practical magicurn:md5:02619182c85e48bab407ffcf848f41ed2017-06-19T16:39:00+01:002018-04-14T20:01:41+01:00balderRegardie IsraelChristChristianityJewKabbalahMagicProtestant <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Regardie_Israel_-_Foundations_of_practical_magic.jpg" alt="" /><br />

The art and meaning of magic. 1. Magic in East and West When I was about seventeen years of age, a friend loaned me a copy of Major L.A. WaddelFs Lamaism. In those days it impressed me tremendously, no doubt because of its massive size. In every sense it was a heavy tome, and tomes then suggested depth and weight of scholarship and insight. Naturally I knew nothing at that time about Magic, and beyond a few theosophical allusions next to nothing of Buddhism. So the greater part of the significance and wide erudition of the book must have passed me by completely, though it is a veritable storehouse of knowledge. Then, out of the blue it reappeared on my horizon, again through the agency of a friend. In the light o f the little knowledge and experience gained through the passage of several years, its contents excited me enormously - and it was with the utmost interest that I reconsidered it. <strong>...</strong></p>Regardie Israel - Ceremonial magicurn:md5:26eb8aeda9d3b31bd13ed525a5cabffb2017-06-19T16:36:00+01:002018-04-14T20:01:44+01:00balderRegardie IsraelholohoaxJewMagicRevisionismSecond World War <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img4/Regardie_Israel_-_Ceremonial_magic.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Chapter 1. Basic Principles. It may be asked for what purpose this book has been written. Why should one bother with ceremonial magic of this type? The question is valid. But in view of the fact that so much has been written in recent years about magic itself, the answer should be so clearly apparent to any student of the subject that I do not feel disposed to cope with it here and now at any length. One may mention first of all The Mystical Qabalah of Dion Fortune, which provides the theoretical basis of ritual magic. <strong>...</strong></p>Regardie Israel - The Golden Dawnurn:md5:fc8f18dcd6d0d0779e8d87589f835c6e2012-11-24T01:21:00+00:002012-11-24T01:23:05+00:00balderRegardie IsraelEnglandGolden DawnSatanism <p><img src="https://balderexlibris.com/public/img/.Regardie_Israel_-_The_Golden_Dawn_s.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Just about 100 years ago (in 1887) we had the beginnings of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. It was then that (according to history and "myth") Dr. William Westcott discovered a cipher manuscript that led to the founding of an English branch of Die Goldene Dammerung in 1888. It was this Golden Dawn that attractedsome of the most talented personalities of the time - including W. 8. Yeats, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, Florence Farr, Annie Horniman, A. E. Waite, S. L. MacGregor Mathers, Dion Fortune and Aleister Crowley. And it was this Golden Dawn that itself provided a NEW DAWN for "occultism" in the early 20th century. In the early 1900s, the original Order began to fragment. First Crowley published many of the G.D. rituals in The Equinox and left to form his own order, the A.A., in 1905. The original Isis-Urania Temple expelled Mathers, and then - as The Stella Matutina - under the direction of Waite, put more emphasis on mysticism than had the original G.D. Later Dion Fortune broke off from this Temple to form her own Inner Light group. It was as a member of the Stella Matutina that Israel Regardie first published a nearly complete set of the rituals and teachings in 1937-40 as the first edition of this present work. Later he sold the copyrights for this and most of his other books at that time to the Aries Press, and I purchased them in 1968 and brought out the second edition, with new material from Regardie, in 1969. As Sam Webster points out in the Epilogue to this fifth edition, this book has been the foundation for much of the "occult revival" of the last half of the twentieth century. It has provided resource materials for Wicca, the New Paganism, various magical groups, and for tens of thousands of serious students. And as Cris Monnastre points out in her Introduction, it is now beginning to provide a structure into which modern psychology can flow to bring about a solution to the present world crisis which demands a dramatic expansion of consciousness and of the 'tools' of awareness. It is the actual "structured"experience of magic - whether it be attained through group or solitary work - that is vital to the accelerated evolution of human consciousness beyond present limitations, and to the expansion of human awareness from communal to global dimensions. And it is this that is essential to avoidance of nuclear war and to the restoration of Nature to the environment and of humanity to Nature. The Golden Dawn is a curriculum of study, a workbook to the Great Work, and Cris Monnastre has provided guidelines to the practical approach to the Work. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of personal work, for it is that - whether undertaken alone or with a group - that is important. Only personal work can accomplish true initiation. And The Golden Dawn is a valid curriculum for personal work even for those associated with other than Golden Dawn groups or systems of magical study. One of the great messages of the New Age is that of eclecticism - if it works, use it! There are many other valuable and valid resources for our evolution, and in this time of "quickening", all are pertinent. But it is a personal and regular program of meditation that brings order to what otherwise might prove chaotic. Such a program, combined with the simple magical exercises of "The Middle Pillar" and "Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram", and the keeping of a journal will initiate your own journey to the Light! I want to give special appreciation to the writers who have added important materials to this new edition, but I also want to give personal appreciation to Israel Regardie for having recognized in 1937 that the "time for secrecy" was over. The twentieth century is a time in which the knowledge of the past has to be brought forward and integrated into a new "common sense" upon which a new humanity can be built. Once, years ago, when I first talked about buying the Golden Dawn copyrights from the Aries Press, another occult writer made a statement to the effect that no one could "own" this knowledge -for it all came originally from God! I think that concept describes exactly what we are dealing with: true Spiritual Technology, Treat it as such! Throughout this edition we have retained the original pagination so that references to the original four volume edition could still be identified. I have made corrections to the original where they were needed, but unless important to the readers' perception I have not made changes to the style. In addition, I am very much indebted to Cris Monnastre, MaDhyan Anupassana, George Wilson, Hal Sundt and Sam Webster for their help and their contributions. In most cases these are identified by initials, along with my own, in footnotes. And it is with a great deal of pleasure that I announce that Cris Monnastre has been instrumental in bringing together these, and other G.D. practitioners, who will be producing a future series of "Golden Dawn Manuals" to develop individual techniques and exercises for study and use.

Within every man and woman is a force which directs and controls the entire course of life. Properly used, it can heal every affliction and ailment to which mankind is heir. Every single religion affirms this fact. All forms of mental or spiritual healing, no matter under what name they travel, promise the same thing. Even psychoanalysis employs this power, though indirectly, using the now popular word libido. For the critical insight and understanding which it brings to bear upon the psyche releases tensions of various kinds, and through this release the healing power latent within and natural to the human system operates more freely. Each of these systems undertakes to teach its devotees technical methods of thinking or contemplation or prayer such as will, according to the a priori terms of their own philosophies, renew their bodies and transform their whole environment. None or few of them, however, actually fulfil in a complete way the high promise made at the outset. There seems but little understanding of the practical means whereby the spiritual forces underlying the universe and permeating the entire nature of man may be utilised and directed towards the creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Naturally, without universal co-operation, such an ideal is impossible for all mankind. Nevertheless, each one for himself may commence the task of reconstruction. The crucial question, then, is how are we to become aware of this force? What are its nature and properties? What is the mechanism whereby we can use it? <strong>...</strong></p>
