Rare indeed is a comprehensive treatment of sacred sounds which examines the full complement of known traditions and distinguishes between mantra, prayer, and invocation. This volume fulfills the need for student and practitioner alike.
The Crowleys (no known relation to Aleister), offer a unique range of talents to explore the realm of sound magic in their book. Originally from South Africa, they were active members of the Cape Town Psychic Club and the Theosophical Society. Now residents of Australia, Brian has published a large number of books on the game of cricket, numerology, and a really intriguing volume, The Zulu Bone Oracle. They also acknowledge the five major swami’s of modern India – Sai Baba, Muktananda, Sivananda, Venkatesananda and Sri Ramana – as their spiritual teachers. The names of their gurus alone sound like a potent mantra!
But such a diverse range of interests actually qualifies the pair eminently to comment on the sacred sounds of the Qabalah, the Qu'ran, ancient Egypt, Greek & Latin liturgies, and Yoga. Filled with the lore of each culture, the twenty-two chapters detail sacred names, words of power, and meditation chants.
Besides the actual words and their interpretations, careful pronunciation guides provide the reader with the essential practicum for use in personal and group work. Hints on the use of the words for both mundane and spiritual purposes are also proposed. I used the two mantras for Prosperity with good results and found that the Hebrew angelic names can quite enliven the atmosphere.
Of this material, I found the best information on the seed mantras -- the bija -- of Kundalini Yoga. Amidst all the dreary and redundant New Age material on the chakras (“clearing” and “balancing” these poor, abused little wheels of energy) the Crowleys demonstrate some obvious experience with etheric healing. The sounds are more appropriately understood as vibrations, thus imposing a multi-sensory affect on the body-mind system. This was the original modus of stimulating the energy centers in all the schools of Yoga.
In all, Words of Power is more than an intellectual excursion into the realm of sound. The authors emphasize sound as experience, and pose some interesting concepts about communication in ancient and modern times. They outline the “new” science of Philophonetica, meaning, “the soul's relationship with sound.”
The human voice, say the Crowleys, is the most powerful instrument of sound. They concur with my own perception that much of the focus of today's magus requires the retrieval of the sacred sciences, of which the words of power are most essential.
