This simultaneously funny and serious book provides the easiest, fastest way for readers to painlessly attune themselves to the mysteries of the Hebrew alphabet and immerse themselves in the fundamentals of practical Qabalah. It is a road map from the Godhead to your head--a clear and lucid guide to an extremely complex, mystical topic. By performing the exercises and rituals in the book, the reader can complete the self-initiatory process comprising the three main degrees of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford's Practical Qabalah course.
Lon Milo DuQuette is an American singer-song writer, author, lecturer, and occultist, best known as an author who applies humor in the field of Western Hermeticism.
Born in Long Beach, California and raised in Columbus, Nebraska, he was an aspiring studio musician and recording artist in the 1970s, releasing two singles and an album, Charley D. and Milo, on the Epic Records label.
He married to his high school sweetheart, Constance Jean Duquette. They live in Costa Mesa, California and have one son, Jean-Paul.
Since 1975 he has been a National and International governing officer of Ordo Templi Orientis, a religious and fraternal organization founded in the early part of the 20th century. Since 1996 he has been the O.T.O.'s United States Deputy Grand Master and one of the most visible members of the Order. He is also an Archbishop of Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica, the ecclesiastical arm of O.T.O.
A very unique and unorthodox methodology of getting to know the Qabalah. The quirky exercises and writing makes this book easy to understand and digest. I would also recommend, although it is not quite necessary, reading the first book in the series and having it by your side as a companion guide. Needless to say, I thought this book was both quite excellent and an invaluable resource for those of us who are interested in a non-dogmatic approach to the Qabalah.
What a great follow up to Chicken Qabalah! Lon is wonderful.
Even if you’re a seasoned occultist working in the western esoteric tradition, there’s a ton to glean from this book. Lon makes some really lofty concepts super simple to grasp, all with his signature wit no humor.
Definitely required reading for any other Thelemites or magicians working with the Golden Dawn tradition.
