Product Description
Review
"Frater provides 422 pages of effective education on the universal laws that make magic work. Even seasoned magicians will find High Magic a valuable handbook."
Product Description
Europe's best-known ceremonial magician and contemporary occult author, Frater U D, is back with the companion volume to his highly acclaimed "High Magic". Previously unavailable in English, this advanced guide to high magic has been eagerly awaited by ceremonial magicians, mages, and hermetic practitioners. "High Magic II" explores the theory and practice of a variety of types of magic, including mirror magic, mudras, sigil magic, shamanism, magical orders, folk magic, demonic magic, divination, and letter magic.The book also delves into magic and yoga, magic in the Bible, the practical Kabbalah, forms of initiation, and the magic of Ancient Egypt and the late Hellenistic period. Many provocative areas of magical practice are addressed, some of them for the first time in an English-language book. This comprehensive course is presented as teachings followed by practical experimentation, a time-honoured method that has proven to be highly effective for many thousands of magical practitioners.

Better!

This follow-up volume is way more valuable than the first in the series.... While Book 1 primes you, you will blossom after reading this one. Buy both for the set -- as they tie into each other. Great material.

Hey I can do High Magic too..... (sorry)

This book is the second (so far) in Frater U.:D.:'s High Magic series and I reckon that in many ways it is better than the first. He continues with his pragmatic and ecclectic approach to the occult and for that I am gratefull. The fact that no one system is seen as king is extremely fresh.
Once again, the book is organised so the reader gets information piecemeal so that it can be properly cognized and worked with. In this fashion he covers yoga, mirror magic, mudras, divination, shamanism, evocation, the Abramelin operation and much more. One of the issues that people seem to have in regards to the previous book is that there is no Qabalah, well that has certainly been rectified here. While it may not be as in depth as other books it serves as a good introduction (truly the Qabalah deserves its own book as there is so much to learn and do). The historical information regarding different orders and their practices is interesting but just remember that history is subjective and different sources will tell you different things. Frater U.:D.: also discusses combat magic in this book which is a first for most introductory texts. My personal opinion is that knowledge is the best protection and knowing how someone could attack you will help you protect yourself far better than putting your head in the sand.
As you can probably see from the star rating, I really like this book. It has given me a different outlook on some of my practises and I have actually gained NEW information from it (compared to most introductory books that seem to just rehash old material). Frater U.:D.:'s take on morality is refreshing and realistic and his take on demonology is quite interesting, maybe not how I would tackle the subject but who am I to judge. I also like his reports from magical practice, it's nice to see how others work and to see their successes and mishaps. It lets us know that they are humans too.
The debate about whether this is truly High Magic will continue however as there are a lot of "low magic" techniques in this book but at the end of the day who really cares? As long as the information is correct and helpfull then it shouldn't matter and if it really matters to you then pick up The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites & Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order (Llewellyn's Golden Dawn Series) or something similar and have at it!
So as it stands, High Magic I and this book are one of the few good introductions to high magic and if you follow the system in it's entirety then you shant go wrong.... too often.
