Western civilization has lost its sense of the mysterious, its connection with the spiritual, with the numinous. We have substituted ignorance for gnosis. This book is a collection of bizarre magic routines and essays aimed at bringing back the union of the art of the magic performer and the art of the shaman, and to bring meaning and depth to our performances.
Excerpt
The book you hold in your hand is not just a magic book. It is a Book of Magick. I hope you will find it a magickal book, as well. It is an attempt to bridge the gap between performance magic and real magick. This is the art of the shaman, the "witch doctor," the "medicine man." It is also a part of the movement in magic to recover the age-old reality of magic, to give meaning back to magic, and to provide answers to the seldom-asked question behind the performance of magic: "Why?"
