About This Item
London: The Aquarian Press, 1959. First edition. 8vo, 176pp. Illustrations. Publisher's cream cloth boards lettered in gilt in illustrated jacket. Some bumping and toning to edges of boards, page block toned. Marginal wear and a few scuffs to jacket. Very good.
Walter Ernest Butler's (1898-1978) important follow up to his first book, Magic: Its Ritual, Power and Purpose, this being a more detailed continuation. Includes training in the Astral Light, invisible body, words of power, and others, as well as sections on the magical keys and rites.
Butler began as a trained medium and continued his study with the Indian mystics, later joining Dion Fortune's Society of the Inner Light. Butler developed a course of study in the Mystical Qabalah called The Helios Course, which he later developed into the Servants of the Light, acting as director.
A very uncommon first edition of this quintessential occult instruction manual. .
