"The Study of Ritual Magic" is a guide for anyone who wants to improve their magical skills based on Western mystical traditions, including tarot, ritual magic, Kabbalah and astrology. As the author writes, "what you get from magic can be accurately measured by what you are willing to put into it, and time is a crucial ingredient for successful magic preparation." Spending at least half an hour a day to practice lessons from this book, a single practitioner will gain sufficient practical support and skill for ritual magic. "The Study of Ritual Magic" provides meditation lessons and a set of exercises designed to develop the basic skills of imagination, will, memory and self-knowledge that are absolutely essential for magical work. Discussing the most important concepts of magical theory, the authors, nevertheless, focus on everyday basic work, without going into the details of advanced practice. Designed for solo practice, "The Study of Ritual Magic" concludes with a self-initiation ceremony.
