The New Hermetics: 21st Century Magick for Illumination and Power

by Jason Augustus Newcomb, Lon Milo DuQuette (Foreword)

The New Hermetics is a powerful spiritual technology of the mind. It is a course of study and practice that teaches the science of illumination and the ability to alter reality. The root of traditional Hermetic thought is that the mind shapes reality. The New Hermetics expands this concept—the universe is a great mind or consciousness, and we are a part of that consciousness; therefore by learning to control the mind, we learn to control our part of the universe.

With updated versions of the Rosicrucian system of initiation, combined with ancient and modern mind-expanding techniques such as visualization and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), The New Hermetics progressively gives initiates power over their minds and world. In a fraction of the time it takes using traditional methods, the course offered in this book lets practitioners master their minds in such a way that they will be able to achieve anything and everything they want in life—spiritually and physically.

[Lex Talionis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A clearly-written, if "self-helpy," look at various methods of conscious self-metaprogramming. If you can swallow Newcomb's first-grade-teacher narrative voice, this book can provide critical insight and easy-to-follow steps for Hermeticism, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Postmodern (Chaos) Magick.

This book details an excellent system of self-development. Jason knows what he is talking about. In addition to the book, I recommend listening to Jason's guided meditations and/or taking his online course. Each adds a significant and modern depth to the exercises, which are naturally paired with modern tech and hypnosis.
