Categorizing The Occult: Magickal Traditions and Their Meaning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781506139357)

The world of the occult has always been typified and understood in terms of categories; white and black magick, good and evil magick, "authentic" rites and ceremonies with a definitive tradition and those of a more modernized form. However, most categorization systems have looked at the occult as something mostly to be defined based on subjective definitions of whether such rites are or are not acceptable within a cultural context. This text attempts to categorize some of the more important phenomena within the mystic world based on whether their source is found within or without the practitioner, and attempts then to explain the basics of the philosophies behind these phenomena. From the psychic arts to mantras, and from invocation to evocation, this work will give the reader an introductory look at the magickal world from a perspective which until now has not been used.
