  • The Magic Wand Represents the Wandabsolute Will of the Magician
    The Magic Wand represents the Wandabsolute will of the magician. This potent magical agic tool can be used for almost any energy-directing purpose, The M tinos which includes healing, the charging of other magical implements, and y Konstan the evocation of benevolent spirits (malevolent entities should be called with B the magic sword, which is explained below). Over the years, several occult orders and magical traditions have each developed specific magic wands for use in their rituals. The Golden Dawn, for example, had a different wand for every officer of the temple (Chief Adept's Wand, Praemonstrator's Wand, etc.), a wand for invoking the element of Fire (described above), and a Lotus Wand that was useful for many types of rituals. As a solitary ceremonial magician, however, you only need to concern yourself with the already explained Fire weapon and one other type of wand, the Magic Wand, which is used for directing energy and willpower. This Magic Wand does not have any particular elemental or astrological correspondences associated with it, therefore it is free of markings, unlike the Golden Dawn Elemental Weapons. The Magic Wand is a universal instrument, and can be used within the context of any magical current or tradition. When charging and consecrating your other magical weapons, this is the instrument you will use to help you direct energy and Divine Light into them. The type of material selected for a Magic Wand's construction is very important. Over the centuries, several different woods have been used and the ones recommended here are used almost universally.

  • The Old Kingdom
    The Old Kingdom Does the jumper choose the path, or the path the jumper? Welcome to the world of the Old Kingdom. It is a troubled time: the government has collapsed, and anarchy reigns. What's worse, the Dead rise from their graves, both on their own and at the behest of necromancers. Charter Magic, the force that would bring order, is weaker now than it has ever been. And Kerrigor, one of the Greater Dead, has begun to set his schemes into motion. But there is still hope: by your actions, the land may yet be restored. Alternatively, you would rather stay in Ancelstierre to the south, a world of 20th­century technology where charter and necromancy alike have no place. Or perhaps you would see this world slide even further into darkness, that you yourself might flourish. Regardless, you have 1000 choice points to start you off. You’ll have to survive here for 10 years, so spend them wisely. Backgrounds: Your age is 16 + 2d8. You may alter your age and gender for 100 cp. Drop­In (Free): You enter the world as you are, with no added memories of the world. Charter Mage (50 cp): Long ago, order was imposed over chaos. Charter magic is the expression of that order, and you've grown up learning its structure. You may start at Wyverley College. Free Magic Sorcerer (50 cp): When charter magic first entered the world, free magic was driven back, reduced to necromancy alone. With the breaking of two of the Great Charter, and many lesser charter stones, it made its resurgence.

Without guidance, this is usually impossible. Therefore, lowe my biggest thanks to Peter and Laura Yorke of Ra Horakhty Temple, who provided my first exposure to self-initiation techniques in the Golden Dawn. Their years of expe­ rience with the Golden Dawn material yielded a structure of carefully selected ex­ ercises, which their students still use today to bring about a gradual transformation. WIthout such well-prescribed use of the Golden Dawn's techniques, it would have been difficult to make progress in its grade system. The basic structure of the course in this book is built on a foundation of the Golden Dawn's elemental grade system as my teachers passed it on. In particular, it develops further their choice to use the color correspondences of the Four Worlds, a piece of the original Golden Dawn system that very few occultists have recognized as an ini­ tiatory tool.

    Eliphas Levi Dogma et Rituel de la Haute Magie Translated by A. E. Waite www.holybooks.com Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie Part II: The Ritual of Transcendental Magic By Eliphas Levi (Alphonse Louis Constant) Translated by A. E. Waite. Originally published by Rider & Company, England, 1896. Transcribed and converted to Adobe Acrobat format by Benjamin Rowe, January, 2002. Typeset in Bauer Bodoni, Goudy Text, and Waters Titling. www.holybooks.com Part II: The Ritual of Transcendental Magic www.holybooks.com The Sabbatic Goat www.holybooks.com INTRODUCTION KNOWEST thou that old queen of the world who is on the march always and wea- ries never? Every uncurbed passion, every selfish pleasure, every licentious energy of humanity, and all its tyrannous weakness, go before the sordid mistress of our tearful valley, and, scythe in hand, these indefatigable labourers reap their eternal harvest. That queen is old as time, but her skeleton is concealed in the wreckage of women's beauty, which she abstracts from their youth and love. Her skull is adorned with lifeless tresses that are not her own. Spoliator of crowned heads, she is embellished with the plunder of queens, from the star-begemmed hair of Berenice to that-white, but not with age-which the executioner sheared from the brow of Marie Antoinette. Her livid and frozen body is clothed in faded garments and tattered winding-sheets. Her bony hands, covered with rings, hold diadems and chains, scepters and crossbones, jewels and ashes. When she goes by, doors open of themselves; she passes through walls; she penetrates to the cabinets of kings; she surprises the extortioners of the poor in their most secret orgies; she sits down at their board, pours out their wine, grins at their songs with her gumless teeth, takes the place of the lecherous courtesan hidden behind their curtains.
