Francis King Ritual Magic

The first thing I'll say about this book is that if you already own a copy of Francis King's "Astral Projection, Ritual Magic, and Alchemy" don't get this book because you already have it. I can't count the number of occult libraries I've seen, including my own, where both These texts contain some of the most core teachings of Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, William Wynn Westcott, Dr. Edward Berridge, Annie Horniman, Florence Farr, Elaine Simpson...

Oh, and Francis King...Just kidding! This book is no more written by Francis King than the Golden Dawn rituals were written by Regardie or The Declaration of Independence was written by Ronald McDonald. While the side of the book may seem misleading at first, the front of the book is honest: "Works by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Others, "Edited" by Francis King." King does write a rather informative synopsis of the texts in the forward, and an informative, sometimes amusing, brief history of the last few centuries of the Western Mysteries, and the Golden Dawn.

This book is definitely a must read for someone who has already been practicing Golden Dawn magic for a while.

Many of these sacred and historical texts can also be found in the Flying Rolls section of our Order's website.
