The Magister: Volume 0 Part 1 of 3

by Marcus Katz

"A massive, life changing work. When I started reading The Magister vol.0 I was unaware that I was embarking on a journey that would change everything. The more I read, the farther into the rabbit hole I crawled. I now know that I am on a journey that will last a lifetime. The Magister is highly researched and extremely well written. I have yet to come across another book that comes close to the quality and content of this work. I anxiously await the future volumes." - Rebecca Stewart"Profound & thought-provoking" - Shay Shannon"The Magister is a masterpiece in the world of Esoteric studies" - Angelo Nasios"Using an academic and curricular approach to synthesize all the magickal works in history, Katz brings us the Aeon of the New Hermetics or the Western esotericism. Katz also brings us the hope to be guided through the grades to the ‘Hermetic Love ‘. The curriculum gives the readers a chance to apply the concepts presented in the book through exercises, vignettes and the how-to practice to arrive at the Western Esoteric Initiatory System’s mystical experience. The academic will appreciate the numerous references and footnotes to readings outside of the book itself. For those who want to learn more of the works mentioned in the book, there is also the reading list and an extensive bibliography! A wonderful reading for those who have always wondered how would all the teachings would come together for spiritual development!" - Wayne Nicholson"I wish I had gotten this book 20 years ago, I hope I have another 20 to study it and the following volumes to come..." - Iliana AdlerThe Magister provides a comprehensive contemporary system of spiritual development via the Western esoteric initiatory system (WEIS).The Magister surveys the past century of esoteric teachings, drawing upon primary source material including Aleister Crowley’s handwritten diaries and notebooks, letters from Dion Fortune, unpublished material from S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Florence Farr, and little-recognised work buried deep within the archives of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This rarely seen material has been meticulously collated during the course of the author’s travels to libraries and private collections throughout Europe and the USA over the past three decades. The Magister combines academic rigour with Frater V’s extensive practical experience and professional teaching discipline in order to provide profound material – regarding kabbalah, tarot, alchemy, Thelema, and more – in a manner that is accessible and which facilitates practical application to a contemporary spiritual life.The first book in the series – Volume 0: The Order of Revelation – lays out the entire map of the esoteric spiritual ascent narrative. It provides an explanation of the grade system – its history, power and function as a framework for magical and mystical experience – and of the Aeons, including how they work in your life and their prediction for the future of human evolution. Volume 0 of The Magister also presents a complete overview of the study curriculum of the great magical orders of history, enabling you to learn a vast range of approaches – from ceremonial magick and shamanism to Ma’at magick and retro-temporal engineering!This first book in The Magister series teaches techniques with the benefit of understanding their final destination, including solar adorations, banishing rituals and significantly more. You will learn to discover and fully experience the invisible knots that bind the universe, in order to achieve magical effects.

[Roberto · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is more than a book, it is a complete system in itself, going from some historical facts to some insight on ritual work and it is a really good introduction in a system based in many things A must reading for the truth seeker. Very complete.
