Franz Bardon is one of the most important but least known occultists and magicians of the Twentieth Century. He is mainly known through four books he wrote which were published in the 1950’s. Many have borrowed his techniques and terminology without giving him proper credit, sometimes unknowingly, but not always. I recommended his book “Initiation Into Hermetics” to a person who had studied occultism for some years. He was stunned to find that a teacher of his in the past had distributed Bardon’s materials pretending he had written them himself. Read more

The Daimon

Great Zeus, Father of men, you would deliver them all from the evils that oppress them, if you would show them what is the Daimon of whom they make use.

Kerubim: The Strong Ones

by Soror I.D.D.

An “Angel” (Greek aggelos or “messenger”) is considered to be a heavenly spirit, a messenger or intermediary between God or the gods and humankind. All religions possess one inherent commonality–the relationship of human beings with the Spiritual realm. In ancient Greek religion, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, this relationship is thought to involve angels–divine messengers sent to humans to instruct, inform or command. An angel can function also as a protective guardian, as a heavenly warrior, and even as a cosmic power. Moreover, the line between a good angel and a bad angel, or demon, is sometimes unclear.

Ah, ’tis a great frustration, but in all research, there ninety failures for every ten successes. And in the Search for the Lost Tepaphone (Indiana Jones theme in the background please) it seemed that there would be a thousand failures until success was achieved. Read more

Visualization and Viewing the Astral

by Aaron Leitch

Throughout these courses on Hermetic Magick, the student will find it necessary to generate various visual images. Some of these are simple- like the pentagrams of the Lesser Banishing Ritual or the Spheres of the Middle Pillar exercise.

Spiritual Illumination vs. Psychic Illusions

By G. de Purucker

Spiritual and astral forces are at work continuously, and have been so from the very earliest ages of the earth. But there come certain times in human history when the doors between our physical world and the inner realms are partly open so that men become more receptive to these subtle influences. We are leaving an era of materialistic life and thought and are entering a more spiritual one. At the same time, the world is full of evidences of an outbreak of psychical influences, and these are always deceptive, always dangerous, because the astral realms belong to a lower range of material existence, filled with evil emanations, human and other.
