Magical Images and the Magical Imagination, 2nd Edition

2nd Edition, with new chapters on the Three-fold Way of the Lesser Mysteries and the Seven-fold Way of the Greater Mysteries.

The knowledge and use of magical images as a means of self development was once a closely guarded secret of initiates and adepts in the Mystery Schools. In this ground breaking new book, Gareth Knight gives easy-to-follow classifications of the various kinds of magical images, along with instructions for their use as agents of self realization and spiritual growth. Indispensable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, this book presents the theory and techniques of creative visualization and meditation. These practical teachings range from the circulation of force within the aura for the purpose of balancing the personality, to the development of a full magical system of "pathworking" enabling contact with unsuspected sources of inner wisdom and power.

Gareth Knight is one of today's most influential writers on the Qabalah and the Western Mystery Tradition. He has devoted a lifetime to rediscovering and teaching the principles of esoteric philosophy and practice as a spiritual discipline and method of self realization. He has written books on many approaches to the subject and contributed to the television series "The Gnostics."
