The Aleister Crowley Manual. Thelemic Magick for Modern Times. Marco Visconti

The Aleister Crowley Manual. Thelemic Magick for Modern Times. Marco Visconti

I'm enjoying the clarity and insightful instruction provided by Marco Visconti in "The Aleister Crowley Manual."


This is a no-nonsense, practical guide to working the magick of Aleister Crowley in modern times.

Marco Visconti has taught Aleister Crowley's Magick to hundreds of aspirants, proving to himself and others its transmutative powers. This book brings together the effective techniques and practices from those lessons. We all live very busy lives in increasingly small spaces, but this book shows that to practice magick you don’t need fancy tools or robes or marbles halls. Magick is truly for everyone, because all you need to practice it is a will set in stone.

Each chapter in this manual is a lesson, which will add a new tool to your magical arsenal:

the nature of the Body of Light
what Prana is and how to harness it
the 4 Hermetic Elements that make up the foundations of the Magical Pyramid
the Quintessence
the Pentagram
Hexagram rituals
the Astral Light invoked through the Middle Pillar


The benefits gained from bringing Magick into your life are manifold. You will gain a deeper understanding of your role in the universe, the ability to communicate with the Other, and the wisdom that comes from such relationships. Overall these practices offer a new and deeper sense of awareness of your own role in the universe.
