About the author

Franz Bardon (1909–1958) was a Czech stage magician and teacher of Hermetics. He is best known for his three volumes on Hermetic magic: Initiation Into Hermetics, The Practice of Magical Evocation, and The Key to the True Quabbalah.

An additional fourth work attributed to him by the title of Frabato the Magician, supposed by many of his students to be a disguised autobiography. Though the book lists its author as Bardon, it was actually written by his secretary, Otti Votavova. While some elements of the story are based on Bardon's real life experience, most of the book was written as an occult novel with much embellishment on the part of Votavova.

Bardon's works are most notable for their simplicity, their relatively small theoretical sections, and heavy emphasis on practice with many exercises. Students of his, such as William Mistele and Rawn Clark consider him to have written the best training programs of any magician of the 20th century. They were written with the intention of allowing students who wished to practice magic the means to do so if they could not study under a teacher.

Reviews

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

Serious evocation magic. This is one of the most authoritative sources on the subject of evocation. NOT FOR BEGINNERS! Fascinating for Arm-chair theorists, however you may want to take up Initiation into Hermetics (IIH) or an equivalent cultivation practice before entertaining the practice this book.

[Merkur Publishing]

An excellent source of true spiritual information regarding the planetary angel-spirits.
