From the publisher: "The Magician's Workbook has a single purpose: to present a graded and integrated series of practical exercises designed to teach the essentials of ritual magic. It contains no history or theory - just forty exercises that anyone can do without prior training, special tools, or costly materials. The content ranges from simple mental exercises to complete rituals that form templates for future work in Western magic. These exercises do not merely teach?they transform. When practiced regularly, they cause changes in the body, brain, perceptions, emotions, and the will - changes necessary for the successful working of magic in any of its ancient or modern traditions; A complete basic training manual for serious beginners who want to start performing ritual magic, rather than just reading about it ; Presents a progressive, forty-week schedule of daily study that fully integrates inner mental conditioning with external movements, gestures, and words; Enables students to go on to study the Golden Dawn system in greater depth, or move forward with confidence to any other form of Western magic . " Light rubbing to covers, a few faint marks to fore-edge, pages a bit toned with a bit of highlighting to about a dozen pages - else a clean and serviceable Good+ copy. Item #63633
