About this item:

"The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley." --Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other works

Peter Carroll's classic work has been profoundly influential on the Western magical world since it was first published in 1987. In Liber Null & 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 scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory. The result is a profoundly original work. The 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 definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity.

Review

"It may be suggested that there have so far been three leading theorists of modern Western magic. The first was Alphonse Louis Constant, alias Eliphas Levi, in the mid-19th century, who established that in order to work magic, it is necessary first to change oneself and ultimately to understand the universe. The second was Aleister Crowley, in the early 20th century, who drew on both Eastern and Western traditions to provide conceptual frameworks within which both aims might be achieved. The third has been Peter Carroll, in the late 20th century, who placed the same aims within an ultra-modern, or post-modern, context of cosmology and morality." --From the foreword by Ronald Hutton, author of The Triumph of the Moon: A History of Modern Pagan Witchcraft and other works

About the Author

He is past Grandmaster of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros, Chancellor of Arcanorium College, Acting Marshall of the Knights of Chaos, and a Bard of Dobunni Grove. He maintains a personal website at specularium.org.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much dark stuff

b. · 17 December 2022

The best way to read this book is to cherry pick what you need from it. There's too much focus on darker arts and black magic, and anyone vulnerable or susceptible might end up doing themselves some serious psychological damage. It's an interesting read though, but it's more for people with an understanding of how chaos magic works and some experience of working with energies that are probably best left alone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not get much from this book except except that repetitive self abuse is recommended!

N.E. · 4 December 2022

I am not sure if the author is trying to impart information or trying not to. I got nothing from it of interest. Christian systematic theology books manage to do the former about their beliefs why can't the author of this book do similar for his beliefs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading

Anyone with even one microscopic cell in their body that's interested in chaos magick should read this book (or books). Absolutely fundamental.

Wow! Very in-depth

S.C. · 14 July 2023

This book is very in-depth. For me it took some time to read and grasp. Not a beginners book in my opinion

Just like I expected - I'm happy

J.K.A. · 15 January 2023
