Disciple's Guide to Ritual Magick - A Beginner's Introduction to the High Art
By Frater Barrabbas Immanion Press / Megalithica Books, May 2007
The Disciple's Guide to Ritual Magick is a book written for the beginning occult student who seeks the integral practice of a ritual magician. This book presents concepts and insights found in no other book on the subject. Frater Barrabbas believes that all magicians seek enlightenment and gnosis, whether they know it or not. Since Magick is the Yoga of the West, then it follows that it should be as comprehensive and complete a spiritual discipline as the various practices of the Eastern traditions. This means that the practice of Magick must be expanded and broadened so that it is as much a full spiritual discipline and means to gaining Gnosis as any other spiritual system. This book is an attempt at making magick a comprehensive discipline that affects all aspects of life. To aid this quest, Frater Barrabbas not only expounds upon the philosophy of magick that is a part of most occult teachings, but he also provides a grimoire of seven rituals that the student can use to build a complete magickal discipline. The grimoire allows for the magickal operations of material acquisition and uses the Pyramidal Pylon and the Vortex as the sources of magickal power. The Lunar and Solar Mysteries chart the inner and outer spiritual worlds of the magician, and the Mystery of the Self is used as a mechanism of self-initiation. As Frater Barrabbas writes: For it is my desire to make the student and reader of this book into an accomplished ritual magician and an initiate.. One of the more intriguing aspects of the grimoire of seven rituals is that it is written with an occult context, and that is the Grail Mythos of the Western Mystery Tradition. Although everyone probably knows the stories about the Quest for the Holy Grail, King Arthur, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table, there are powerful allegorical undercurrents and occult threads in these tales, that when realized, can become translated into life changing experiences for the magician. Frater Barrabbas has been working and teaching new forms of Magick for over 35 years, and assisted in starting a magickal lodge where this discipline was taught and practiced. The rituals in the grimoire are based on the rituals that were used by this order, whose lore is also modeled upon the Grail Mythos. These rites were tested by seasoned magicians and certified to produce the effects that they promise. Frater Barrabbas has written these rituals and the accompanying curriculum so that Magick might experience a renaissance in the new millennium. We believe that you will find this book both compelling and challenging. It is the first foundation for the practicing ritual magician, and one that is necessary for the ultimate attainment of knowledge, fulfillment and wisdom through the revelation and gnosis of Magick. The second work in this series is a trilogy entitled Mastering the Art of Ritual Magick.
Mastering the Art of Ritual Magick Series - Omnibus Edition
"This is a new Grimoire for a New Age for the magickal explorer willing to seek out that 'love which moves the sun and the other stars.'" This omnibus edition contains all three volumes of Frater Barrabbas's acclaimed Mastering the Art of Ritual Magick series; a comprehensive work on how to create a personal magickal system. While suitable for readers already having a few years' experience with magick, the series is also ideal for diligent practitioners of any level who seek to develop a complete, customized magickal system. Volume 1's 'Foundation' establishes the basic practices and sets the magician on the path to knowledge and experience. Volume 2's, 'Grimoire' is based upon a set of nine rituals used to build up a complete Wiccan or Pagan ritual magick regimen, including elemental magick within a seasonal and monthly periodic cycle, and volume 3's 'The Greater Key', presents a system of correspondences that the magician builds up with his or her own personalized symbology. Together, these volumes present a thorough and enlightening system that will enrich the magickal lives of any dedicated practitioner.
