Preview Liber Null And Psychonaut The Practice Of Chaos Magic ( Revised And Expanded Edition)

“Th ere have so far been three leading theorists of modern Western magic: Eliphas Levi, Aleister Crowley, and Peter Carroll.” —Ronald Hutton, author of Th e Triumph of the Moon and other works “Th e most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley.” —Robert Anton Wilson, author of Prometheus Rising and other works Peter Carroll’s classic work has been profoundly infl uential on the Western magical world since it was fi rst published in 1987. In Liber Null and Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek Magical Papyri, the works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th-century scientifi c ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory. Th e result is a profoundly original work. Th is book includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll’s defi nition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infi nity. Peter J. Carroll is the author of six books, including Liber Null and Psychonaut and Liber Kaos. He is past Grandmaster of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Th anateros, Chancellor of Arcanorium College, Acting Marshall of the Knights of Chaos, and a Bard of Dobunni Grove. He main- tains a personal website at specularium.org. www.redwheelweiser.com CCaarrrroollll__LLiibbeerr NNuullll__ccvv mmxx..iinndddd 11 33//2277//2222 44::1177 PPMM The Weiser Classics series off ers essential works from renowned authors and spiritual teachers, foundational texts, as well as introductory guides on an array of topics.
