Un regalo di un amico, si è rivelata una lettura diversa dalle aspettative. Consiglio soprattutto a chi fosse interessato alla magia cerimoniale, o a chi, come me, ha sempre mantenuto le distanze dalla magia cerimoniale o teurgia o si è tenuto distante da tali tematiche. Come lettura veloce, potrebbe pulire o rimuove strutture mentali sedimentate.

Se fossi stato interessato all'argomento, le stelle sarebbero state decisamente di più. ( )

Read this decades ago along with anything else by Israel Regardie. It's very informative and very much a product of it's time. Nothing new to me here but is always worth the read as a kind of revision exercise.

Good.

Brilliant book, but a tough read, which invites much study and contemplation! Regardie provides the reader with a a good theoretical introduction to the topic of High Magic and then proceeds with a more practical approach: how to train the Will of the Magician, how to astrally project and how to work with ancient grimoires, to name a few, as well as a thorough outline of the method of Abramelin the mage.
Using a beautiful yet right to the point and sometimes very down-to-earth style, Regardie obviously knows what he is talking about. And the wonderful emblems and occult illustrations provide you with endless triggers for meditation. A must have for every serious student of the occult! ( )

A good introduction to the kabbalah and how it can be used magickally, if you are so inclined. If not, you can pick out some good info and theories on kabbalah-related subjects. ( )
