. . . the most comprehensive introduction available to the
Golden Dawn system of initiation, and the numerous, complex
and -sometimes obscure mystical writings of Aleister Crowley .
Over fifty years ago Israel Regardie set himself the gigantic
task of making accessible to the intelligeit layman the root
principles upon which Magic is built - principles which
Aleister Crowley devoted his life to exploring and revealing.
Drawing on his experience as personal secretary to
Crowley and his involvement with the Golden Dawn
system, Regardie skillfully unifies a wealth of diverse
material into a marvelously coherent whole. The result 3s
THE TREE OF LIFE, a book which has become the
definitive overview of the Western Magical Tradition.
Continuously in deman'd since its original publication in
1932, THE TREE OF LIFEYucid presentation convincingly
supports Regardie's theas that Magic is a scientifically
precise discipline. Anyone willing to devote the time and
energy to its pursuit will experience a profound expansion
of consciousness - an awareness that gives meaning and
purpose to life.
Contents include: Yoga and Magic as the two branches of
mysticism; Magic as distinct from psychism, witchcraft
and other disciplines; exercise techniques for dsvdoping
the will and imagination; plus much more.
