Covering many different forms of magic all in one gorgeous book. One of the only printings I have found of this one and, without question, the best condition I have ever seen. It does have some wear to the dust jacket, but it's been very well preserved for a book of this age. It contains 46 pages, but as the old saying goes, it's quality over quantity.

]Israel Regardie (1907-1985) was an Adept of the Golden Dawn and one of the greatest exponents of the Western Esoteric Tradition of the 20th century. He also initiated Aleister Crowley's Order of the A.·. A.·. was a degree initiate of Crowley's O.T.O. He aimed to preserve the teachings and work of the Golden Dawn and Aleister Crowley. His success in this task has profoundly influenced occult thought. From the age of 21, Regardie worked as Crowley's secretary. Until their bitter parting, Regardie was one of the few who knew Crowley well during this period. He was one of the few qualified to provide first-hand, personal insight into the character and personality of one of the significant figures in Western Magick. In addition to his extensive writings, Regardie practiced as a chiropractor and a neo-Reichian therapist. He taught Psychiatry at the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic and published articles in Psychology magazines. Regardie's most profound work, The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic, is a 1200-page book published by New Falcon Publications, a company he founded with his student Dr. Christopher Hyatt. The book is currently available in three different editions: a) 1200-page hard bound with index; b) eBook with the same material; and c) a new portable edition as a soft cover. Today, Regardie's work is preserved and perpetuated by New Falcon Publications and the Israel Regardie Foundation.
