“A Theurgist’s Book of Hours” by Jeffrey S. Kupperman

Magick Matters

"Suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners, A Theurgist's Book of Hours is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in developing or deepening their connection with the divine via daily praxis. This fascinating and unique work builds on the foundations laid by author Jeffrey S. Kupperman in his previous book Living Theurgy but also can be used independently, as it provides both the theoretical knowledge and the practical guidance needed to start incorporating theurgical prayer into your ritual practice. While these teachings provide a structured framework which draws primarily upon the Neoplatonic teachings of Iamblichus, Proclus, Pseudo-Dionysius and the lunar/solar calendar reforms of Plethon they are eminently adaptable and accessible to practitioners...>>

“Living Thelema: A Practical Guide to Attainment in Aleister Crowley’s System of Magick” by David Shoemaker (kindle ebook version)

Magick Matters

"The system of spiritual attainment developed by Aleister Crowley is notoriously challenging in its scope.

“Philosophy of Perception” by William Fish (2nd edition)

“Vision and Mind: Selected Readings in the Philosophy of Perception” edited by Alva Noe and Evan T. Thompson

Magick Matters

"The philosophy of perception is a microcosm of the metaphysics of mind. Its central problems—What is perception? What is the nature of perceptual consciousness? How can one fit an account of perceptual experience into a broader account of the nature of the mind and the world?—are at the heart of metaphysics.

The central problem for visual science has been to explain how the brain bridges the gap between what is given to the visual system and what is actually experienced by the perceiver. The orthodox view of...>>
