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.

The most comprehensive introduction available to the Golden Dawn system of initiation. An ideal introduction to the numerous complex and obscure mystical writings of Aleister Crowley. Includes practical exercises for developing the will and theimagination.

Mysticism, Psychology and Oedipus, from the Small Gems series is one of these mysterious alchemys which Regardie and Spiegelman crafted for the serious student of mysticism. MYSTICISM, PSYCHOLOGY AND OEDIPUS by Dr. Israel Regardie and his friend, world renowned Jungian Psychologist, J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D. was created to reach the serious student at the intersecting paths of magic, mysticism and psychology. While each area of study overlaps they also maintain their own individual paths of truth. One of Regardies greatest gifts was his rare ability to combine these difficult and diverse subjects and make them understandable.

Wilhelm Reich, His Theory and Techniques is Israel Regardie's way to honour and make many of Reichs valuable contributions to modern psychotherapeutic available. Israel Regardie, (1907-1985), was a Doctor of Chiropractic and he also practiced the psychotherapeutic methods of Wilhelm Reich, M.D. (1897-1957). This book begins by briefly describing Reichs struggle for intellectual freedom, imprisonment and death in prison because of his revolutionary Reichian Therapy and some controversial writing about the Sexual Revolution, scientific experiments into healing cancer, political views, discovery of orgone energy and other concepts which the powers that be at that time felt threatened by and wanted to censor. The rest of the book honours Reich by clearly describing and teaching his theories and techniques of Vegeto-therapy, which were invented to free patients from what Reich called the emotional plague of modern times -- a rigid, repressed, armoured state where people could not connect with their feelings, nor function as natural human beings. The following chapters discuss armouring, therapeutic methods, transference, affects, goals and self-regulation. Regardie breaks down and teaches this highly effective psychotherapeutic method in which the therapist manipulates the muscular armour directly, thus helping the patient to open their emotions, process and integrate them. J Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D., (1926 - 2017) was an explorer of life and he wanted to share his experiences and knowledge. The Unhealed Healer is primarily a record of Dr Spiegelmans experiences [during] the first four years of eight-years in Reichian therapy with Dr Francis Israel Regardie. They were friends, colleagues and fellow healers.

Israel Regardie is one of the most important figures in the twentieth century development of what many have termed the Western esoteric tradition, which normally refers to the synthesis accomplished by MacGregor Mathers within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn during the 1890s. Among those who proceeded to explore and build among this tradition are Israel Regardie and Aleister Crowley. In this 1968 classic, Regardie prefaces and expands upon Crowley's discovery that drugs initiate and stimulate the mystical state, providing the reader with a backgroud to Crowley's The Herb Dangerous. The English poet and mystic, Aleister Crowley had produced a series of ten large magazine-like volumes with board covers entitled The Equinox. The intention was to publish a separate issue every Spring and Autumn for five years making ten numbers in all. Openly published in them were his superbly written essays on the psychology of hashish. These were his earliest overt admissions to the occasional use of hashish as a psychedelic agent. The first four issues of this periodical contained an important serial entitled The Herb Dangerous. The opening essay, The Pharmacy of Hashish, by an English chemist, E Whineray, was a clinical and chemical analysis of Cannabis Indica, whose first cousin is marijuana, Cannabis Sattiva. The second essay entitled The Psychology of Hashish was written by Oliver Haddo, one of the innumerable pseudonyms used by Aleister Crowley. It was succeeded in the third issue by The Poem of Hashish, written by Charles Baudelaire, and translated beautifully from the French by Crowley himself. The final installment of the serial consisted of selections from a fantastic piece of writing by H G Ludlow entitled The Hashish Eater. Easily a rival to de Quincy's Confessions of an Opium Eater, Ludlow's book was published by Harpers (New York, 1857). These four essays comprise the main body of this text.

Practical Magick: Qabalistic & Meditative Techniques by Dr. Israel Regardie, one of the foremost authorities on the theory and practice of Magick, is another Small Gem that the serious student of magick and mysticism will appreciate for their collection. The emphasis in this collection of essays is on practical methods of releasing the vast inner potential on which Magick depends. Starting with clear information and methods to practice meditationthe road to divine unionwhich requires the mental discipline and commitment students need to build the necessary skills to do the Great Work. The Qabalah Primer illuminates the endless practical applications of the Qabalistic system.

What do you know about Real Magick, The Golden Dawn, True Rosicrucian, or the Western Esoteric Tradition? Dr Regardie relates his own experience in those secret societies which have exerted such a great influence on the development of modern Occultism. He lifts the cloak of mystery which has shrouded these organisations since their heyday in the last half of the 19th century and tells what really went on behind the closed doors of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Theosophist Society, the Rosicrucian Fraternity, and the Masonic Lodge. From his close personal association Regardie reveals the true nature and actions of such leading Occult authorities as Aleister Crowley, S L MacGregor Mathers, Dr W W Westcott and Dion Fortune. This facinating book had been out of print and highly sought after for many years since its first publication in 1936. Reprinted in 1971 with a new introduction and postscript by Dr Regardie giving further details of the rites and rituals which he was under oath not to reveal at the time of the first printing of this work. The book discusses both the theories behind the ceremonial grades of the Golden Dawn and the initiation rites as they were really practiced by the Order. Fear of recrimination did not prevent Dr Regardie from carefully analyzing and criticising the methods and procedures of the Order and revealing the true character of its members. With a new preface by Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Ask Baba-Lon, Answers to Questions of Life & Magick.

The Wisdom of Israel Regardie, Volume I, is filled with the rich wisdom and deep knowledge of the world famous occultist who was the personal secretary to Aleister Crowley for four years. This book contains the best of Regardies introductions to his and other authors books spanning the decades of his career. It also has some of Regardies best forewords and prefaces. This never before published compilation allows the reader to gain breadth and depth into many of Regardies writings, thoughts and philosophies in one amazing book. Israel Regardie (1907-1985) is a crucial figure in the development of modern occultism. At the age of 21 he travelled to Europe to work as Crowleys secretary, a period he writes about in his perceptive and sympathetic biography of the Beast, The Eye in the Triangle. This work describes (and is written despite of) their dramatic falling out which culminated in Crowley writing anonymously to every one whom Regardie knew or might come into contact with alleging all manner of extreme personal faults, no doubt intended to be as hurtful as possible. Regardies commitment to magick and spiritual advancement continued unabated. He joined the Stella Matutina, a continuation of the Golden Dawn. As the operations of this group faltered Regardie came into possession of the Orders papers. Starting in 1937, Regardie published them so that the system would be preserved forever. Hand in hand with his magickal activities Regardie explored Freudian, Jungian and Reichian psychoanalysis, and became a practitioner. For Regardie, magickal endeavour had to interface with spiritual awakening and psychological development. Regardie authored nearly a dozen original books including such substantial works as A Garden of Pomegranates, The Tree of Life, The Philosophers Stone and The Middle Pillar all of which were first issued in the 1930s. He worked to make the Golden Dawn system available and understandable to a new generation with new revised editions of The Golden Dawn and original works drawing upon the system in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. His transmission of the Golden Dawn system went beyond just communication of information about the system, he also acted as ritual initiator permitting others the reactivation of the Order.

The most important thoughts of Israel Regardie lie within the pages of this book. This unique compilation of essays and commentaries span his early career right up to his passing thru the veil.

This book presents text and analysis of three major alchemical works, approached symbolically, using the symbol systems and viewpoints of magic and psychology. The objective of alchemical study has been described poignantly by Dr Israel Regardie. Like modern psychological methods, the alchemical formulae have as their goal the creation of a whole man, a fully integrated individual. Not only does alchemy envisage a person whose several constituents of consciousness are united, but with the characteristic thoroughness of all occult and magical methods, it proceeds a stage further. Alchemy aspires toward the development of a free and illuminated psyche. It is here that it parts company with orthodox psychology, and here that Dr Regardies insights shine. The clarity and elegance of the authors style, and the precision and depth of his thought, make this an important and meaningful experience for every person who aspires to personal development and wholeness.

This book deals with not only physical healing, but healing every aspect of our lives. Dr Regardie says it best: Within every man and woman is a force that directs and controls the entire course of life. Properly used, it can heal every affliction we have have. These are the methods by which the dynamic nature of the subconsious can be stimulated so that the human personality becomes transformed into a powerful magnet attracting to itself whatever it truly desires or is necessary to its welfare... Perhaps sickness is present. Or we need money. Or we have undesirable moral or mental traits or whatnot. We can elevate our minds by utilising this energy, so that the desire of our heart automatically realises itself with practically no effort at all..

Though Francis Israel Regardie (19071985) is best known for his writings on the Western magical/mystical system known as the Golden Dawn, that is not how he made his living. He was a Doctor of Chiropractic under which license he practiced the psychotherapeutic methods of Wilhelm Reich, M.D. (18971957). Reichian Therapy was a revolutionary approach to dealing with psychological issues. Reich, who had once been an associate of Sigmund Freud, had developed important extensions to psychological theory and the therapy methods of the day. But in a clinical setting he and others were continually faced with the intractability of many patients against the therapeutic methods then in use. He came to believe that this armoring was not simply a head issue, but was elaborated in actual physical armoring of the musculature. In time he developed a novel, and highly successful, approach to psychotherapy: rather than just talk with his patients, he manipulated and attacked the muscular armor directly. But today we see almost nothing of his methods. First written in the 1950s and updated through the 1970s, this never-before-published tour de force provides a masterful description of both Reichs theory and clinical practice. It is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in one of the most effective psychotherapeutic methods even devised.
