Book Reviews of Magical Ritual Methods
Book Review: This is a Tech Manual for Mages
Summary: 5 Stars
The first sentence in this book says it all: "There is probably more rubbish written about magic than anything else..." Then Gray proceeds to build a very workable foundation of magickal practice. His deep detail is something that is painfully missing from most of these recent-vintage magickal manuals. The reader learns about proper grounding and centering, constructing workable psychic shielding, the use of sound in chants and rites, and the proper construction and use of ritual tools. The various parts of a working rite of Magick are explained- even down to the postures of the celebrants. The book is oriented more towards the temple-style of practice, but its methods can be employed in Wiccan and other paths, too. This book is not really for beginners, but it needs to be on the shelf of every serious practitioner and magickal teacher. Highly recommended.
Summary of Magical Ritual Methods
Throughout the ages, the workings of magical ritual have been shrouded in more secrecy than probably any other subject. The peculiar secrecy surrounding magical practices is not altogether intentional--how can mere description of the purely physical aspects of ritualism possibly convey its deep significance? Knowing this conciously or instinctively, practitioners of magical rites have maintained silence or given such vague descriptions of their activities that little practical use can be made of them. Now there is a guidebook, intended for the Western student on the path of spiritual consciousness. William Gray pulls all the "hows's" and "why's" of ceremonial magic together in one volume and provides the student with practical means for its proper operation and study. People are drawn toward ritual practice because it fulfills a need on a deep spiritual level that nothing else will fill. Gray shows us how to arrange and direct our own studies, and gives us the basics to make magical ritual work for us, to extend our human consciousness toward Truth and Light.Occult Books
