About The New Magus: Ritual Magic As A Personal Process

For some people, magic is something that was done in the past by ancient wizards, and the only way to do magic now is by copying them and their actions. Not only is this idea incorrect, it would probably astound the ancient magicians if they heard it! The magicians of 1000 or even 100 years ago were, first and foremost, experimenters. These men and women tried new things and interpreted the actions of those who had gone before in new ways - the ways of their times. Magic should not become static and unchanging. It should be reinterpreted in new ways for each generation. Certainly we should learn from the past, but we should recreate magic, using the latest scientific and philosophical techniques and methods. This is what Donald Tyson has done in his book The New Magus. It is a practical framework on which a student can base his or her personal system of magic. This book is filled with practical, usable magical techniques and rituals which anyone from any magical tradition can use. It includes instructions on how to design and perform rituals, create and use sigils, do invocations and evocations, do spiritual healings, learner rune magic, use god-forms, create telesmatic images, discover your personal guardian, create and use magical tools and much more. You will learn how YOU can be a New Magus! The New Age is based on ancient concepts that have been put into terms, or metaphors, that are appropriate to life in our world today. If you have found that magic seems illogical, overcomplicated and not appropriate to your lifestyle, The New Magus is the book for you. It will change your ideas of magic forever! --- from publisher's note
