Initiation into Hermetics if the first and most important of Franz Bardon’s works and is rightly regarded as the cornerstone of his entire opus. In contrast to other booths on the subject of magic, Bardon focuses his attention on the practical training necessary for all true magical attainment. Using the four elements of fire, water, air and earth as a foundation, Bardon teaches the student how to master these universal forces in the three worlds of body, soul, and spirit. Bardon leads the student step by step through exercises providing detailed training in the entire arcanum of magic, from basic techniques in thought control to advanced teachings in astral travel, and much more. No other writer has ever developed such a clear, concise, and practical program of magical development.

About the Author
In 1924, the spirit of a high Hermetic adept entered the body of a fourteen-year-old child named Franz Bardon, destined to become one of the most remarkable magicians of the 20th century. Though he maintained a normal life as an industrial mechanic and family man in the Czech town of Opava, his other, occult life was full of attainment and tragedy. During the last years of WWII, Franz Bardon spent 3-1/2 months in a concentration camp. After the war, he practiced as a naturopath and graphologist and devoted himself to the teaching of Hermeticism and the writing of his books. His work was interrupted forever in 1958, when he was arrested during one of Czechoslovakia's notorious Communist purges. Among other things, he was accused of treason and imprisoned. Bardon died under "unusual circumstances" in a prison in Brno, Czechoslovakia on July 10, 1958.
