Israel Regardie – författare

First published in 1937, Israel Regardie's The Golden Dawn has become the most influential modern handbook of magical theory and practice. In this new, definitive edition, noted scholar John Michael Greer has taken this essential resource back to its original, authentic form. With added illustrations, a twenty-page colour insert, additional original material, and refreshed design and typography, this powerful work returns to its true stature as a modern masterpiece. An essential textbook for students of the occult, The Golden Dawn includes occult symbolism and Qabalistic philosophy, training methods for developing magical and clairvoyant powers, rituals that summon and banish spiritual potencies, secrets of making and consecrating magical tools, and more.

The Philosopher's Stone is one of Israel Regardie's masterpieces. In it he analyzed three important alchemical treatises from the 17th century, explaining them symbolically, psychologically, and magically. Although the information is still vital to occultists, the presentation was dated. Now, famed occultists Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero bring the information up to date. The original is complete but the Hebrew transliteration has been corrected and the text is fully annotated and explained so that students in the 21st century can fully appreciate it. Also included in this third edition are new illustrations, a glossary, a biographical dictionary, a bibliography, an index, and a new introduction.

In this newly rediscovered text, famed occultist Israel Regardie sheds light on the psychological and spiritual meaning behind the symbols and metaphors of alchemy. Fully edited and annotated by Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, Gold is the first new book by Regardie published in decades. Analyzing The True Book of Synesius-an important seventeenth century alchemical treatise-Regardie uses the language of Jungian psychology, magnetism, and hypnosis while citing his own unique experiences as a therapist and healer. Touching upon alchemical theory, Taoist philosophy, yoga, hypnotism, Zen Buddhism, and experiments with the human aura, Gold is a definitive work by a true master.
