In 2005, I decided to not to allow the Ritual Magic Manual to be republished in paper form, instead incorporating its material into the curriculum of the Alpha Omega's undergraduate level, outer order Magician's training program, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this decision would lead to the Ritual Magic Manual skyrocketing to up to $1,000 for new copies. Over the years, I have done what I could to counteract such ridiculously astronomical prices.
Recently I offered one of my own remaining copies on Ebay in an attempt to drive prices down again. This turned out to be somewhat successful. With this decision, I managed to temporarily drive prices down to $339 new and $218 used on Amazon.com.
This is still far too expensive and public pressure from aspiring Golden Dawn Magicians has been steadily mounting for years to make this unique manual available in print form once again.
Your voices have not fallen on deaf ears. I understand that you want a print copy of the Ritual Magic Manual at a reasonable price.
"I have decided, effective immediately, to prepare a revised edition of the Ritual Magic Manual for release in paperback form."
To improve this edition, I will need YOUR help.
There were a few errors that managed to be overlooked here and there in a whopping 666 page manual. All remaining errors must be eliminated in the revised edition.
I am putting out a call for assistance to aspiring magicians all across the esoteric community.
I ask you submit for correction any errors you find in the first edition of the Ritual Magic Manual so they can be eliminated in the forthcoming second edition.
Please either post your findings in the comments section below, or write me directly here.
"All who submit corrections will receive written recognition in the new edition!"
Thank you for your kind assistance in making the Ritual Magic Manual most complete and accurate manual of Golden Dawn magic ever written!

I congratulate you on this decision.
ReplyDeleteHaving worked with your manual for over 10 years now, i can attest that its worth of gold.
There is no other book around that offers such an effective, comprehensive and userfriendly guideline to magical and energetic development.
I would be happy to offer my help and contribution.

I am glad to see this work back in print I have used this manual as a 777 reference for devising rituals, meditations and practice. I have the original hardback and will welcome a paperback to my library.
ReplyDeleteDo you plan on expanding the planetary section on handling Pluto, Neptune and Uranus? I was always curious about on what sepheriroth, divine names, archangels, angels and planetary squares should be attributed to these planets since I always rely on the classical seven planets. I have no plans to work with these planets, but just curious on how this is handled.
The Sepheriroth Daath is not dealt with as one of the emanation of the Tree of Life to invoke. I noticed the original Golden Dawn cipher manuscript has the Tree of Life with Daath and the Middle Pillar incorporates this. I am curious on the divine names, archangels, angels and choir associated with this.

Thank you, VH Frater P. Your contribution will be duly noted!
ReplyDeleteI have the privilege of owning this great Grimoire and I can't stop saying how excellent it is.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news!
ReplyDeleteGood news indeed!
ReplyDeletePage 64 (a copy and paste mistake)--you address the "Eastern Quadrangle" four times while facing four different directions...that can't be right.
