I found much of his analyses absolutely brilliant. He was a student of the late Israel Regardie. It's a very no-nonsense approach and devoid of all the usual esoteric jargon so common in magickal books. In fact, this book might have one of the clearest explanations of ritual magick I've ever encountered. That's quite a feat, as it's a pretty complicated subject. I also appreciate the fact that Cicero's not out to convince anyone, or that this system is better than others; he just offers the material and allows the reader to decide. The book explains the degree system within the order (think Freemasonry with magick), the order's philosophy, various rites and practices, and what they all mean. I also appreciate that the order is non-dogmatic and non-religious, unlike nearly all other magickal orders and secret societies. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The Golden Dawn is one of the most influential and respected systems of magic in the world. Over a century old, the teachings of this once-secret society are considered the capstone of the Western Esoteric Tradition. Yet many of the available books on the subject are too complex or overwhelming for readers just beginning to explore alternative spiritual paths. The Essential Golden Dawn is for those who simply want to find out what the Golden Dawn is and what it has to offer. Written by recognized experts on the topic, this introduction to High Magic is both straightforward and succinct. It explores the origins of Hermeticism and the Western Esoteric Tradition, as well as the rich history of the Golden Dawn and its founders. This guide explains the "laws" of magic and magical philosophy, describes different areas of magical knowledge that a Golden Dawn magician can expect to learn, and presents basic rituals for the novice. If you have been curious about the Golden Dawn, but intimidated by its scope, this concise guide will shed light on this powerful system of practical magic and spiritual growth.
