In his foreword to this Weiser Books edition, first published in 1980, the famed occultist and ceremonial magician Israel Regardie (1907-1985) writes that \"a throughgoing comprehension of this smaller work is required\" to truly understand Crowley's magnum opus on magick, \u003ci\u003eMagick in Theory and Practice.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second part of Book Four offers a concise encyclopedia of magical symbolism, the working tools in practical magick. All of the paraphernalia employed in ritual magick are carefully explained in both psychological and mystical terms. The Wand is the human will. Wisdom is the word. The Cup is understanding, the vehicle of grace. The Sword is reason, the analytical faculty. And the Pentacle is the body, the temple of the Holy Ghost, the great storehouse from which the Magician draws. All phenomena are sacraments, writes Crowley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aleister Crowley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877285136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877285137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Weiser Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.41w x 0.46d","brand":"Aleister Crowley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049596743935,"sku":"9780877285137","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4161f28c-0608-488d-a94b-b9ef96d29722.jpg?v=1685002424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/book-4-aleister-crowley-9780877285137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
