Introduction
The magic of the IOT is an intensely practical, personal,
experimental art. Two major themes run through this book:
that altered states of consciousness are the key to unlocking
one's magical abilities; and that these abilities can be developed
without any symbolic system except reality itself.
The magical style of thinking is explored with chapters on
alternative belief and the alphabet of desire.
A natural inclination toward the darker side of magic is as
good a point as any from which to begin the ultimate quest,
and half this book is devoted to the black arts.
Independently of ancient dusty books and mystification the
vital elements of many traditions conspire here to create a
living art.
The Illuminates of Thanateros are the magical heirs to the Zos
Kia Cultus and the A .'. A .'.
This book, written originally as a sourcebook for the IOT, is
now being released for those who wish to work alone and for
those seeking admission to the Order. Although the initiate is
referred to as "he" throughout, the reader should understand
that this is merely in keeping with the traditional style of
magical texts of this type, and that this course of study by no
means excludes women.
介绍
混沌魔法是一门非常实用的、针对个人的,以实验为基础的艺术。本书贯穿着这样两条理论:释放一个人的魔力的钥匙是要改变状况的意识:这些力量的发展除了相信他们自己外没有任何象征性的方法。
魔法是思考方式是探究可选择的信仰的章节和愿望的字母表(这里应该是个比方)。
对于魔法的黑暗面的一种自然的倾向是任何开始终极追寻的好的一点,本书的一半将专注于这种黑暗艺术。
古代含糊的书籍的独立性和传统的生命原理的神秘性共同造就了这门生活的艺术。
The Illuminates of Thanateros(混沌魔法的组织,成立于1978年)是the Zos
Kia Cultus 和the A .'. A .'.的魔法继承人。
本书最先是作为IOT(混沌魔法的国际组织)的原始资料而撰写的,现在为那些想单独研究或想加入该社团的人发行。尽管新入会的人始终作为“他”被提及,读者应该明白这只是保持这类型的魔法文书的传统方式,而且这个学习(研究)的过程中并没有指不包括妇女。 |
