Advanced Magical Arts: Visualisation, Mediation and Ritual in the Western Magical Tradition - Paperback

In the 1980s small groups of experienced magicians
experimented with the secret techniques of the Western Mystery
Tradition. They produced a renaissance in the study of occultism
and magic and a corpus of work which are the cornerstones of the
tradition for the 21st century.
Among their leaders was RJ Stewart, a renowned expert on
traditional British folk, Celt and medieval music, who had
recorded music for the BBC and various films. He was also a
pioneer in studying the Merlin tradition, writing two original
and influential books translating and exploring genuine
medieval Merlin texts.
In his classic book Advanced Magical Arts, the author draws
upon the coherent, mature and enduring systems of magic, long
preserved in our Western culture. With beautiful
illustrations by Miranda Gray, he offers a series of fundamental
aspects of the magical arts, which he supports with practical
examples of visualisations and rituals.
R J Stewart is a leading author on magic, mythology, music, and the creative
imagination. He has forty-one books in publication, translated worldwide, and
is also a composer and musician working in film, theatre, and television, and has
made many recordings. Born in Scotland, he now lives in Northern California.
