The classic book on working with the energy of the body for spiritual purposes, The Middle Pillar by Israel Regardie, is now more complete, more modern, more usable, and better than ever. The exercise known as the Middle Pillar was devised by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Regardie expanded upon it and made it public over 60 years ago in the first edition of this book. Since that time, the exercise has been altered and adapted for just about any spiritual use you could think of. It is a mainstay of many Western traditions of magic. Now in its third edition, The Middle Pillar is better than ever. ?It has been edited by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero, close friends of the late Regardie and senior Adepts of the Golden Dawn. They have also added new material in a separate section that more than doubles the size of the book with their valuable insights and knowledge. * Includes the complete original text, with nothing eliminated * Spelling has been standardized to Western traditions * Each chapter now has a title to identify its content * The Ciceros's notes to each chapter add insight and history to Regardie's work * Modern and clearer illustrations have been added * New, a further exploration of the relationship between magic and psychology * New, more than five techniques to enhance relaxation * New, the Middle Pillar and the Chakras * New, versions of the Middle Pillar exercise in Egyptian, Greek, and Gaelic * New, a shamanic version of the Middle Pillar * New, how to use the Middle Pillar to charge talismans and do healings The Middle Pillar is now expanded to what it always should have been, a thorough, accessible examination and extension of the single ritual that has become the very embodiment of magic. Get The Middle Pillar and learn the real secrets of magic.

This is an excellent book. The Cicero's have made Regardie's classic text even better by expanding on every point made by Regardie in the original. They have added extensive footnotes, several rituals, exercises and meditations, and a comprehensive glossary of psychological and magical terms that makes this book twice as valuable to magicians of the 21st century. I can't help but agree with Golden Dawn Historian R. A. Gilbert's assessment of the Ciceros and their work which is printed on the back cover of THE MIDDLE PILLAR. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Magick and the Kabbalah.

For the serious student this book is more than just a leasurely read. This is not just bedtime reading. This is part of a journey. It is the elements of a new life! I started doing the Middle Pillar meditations and feel the changes taking place in my life. I also bought the CD's with him giving guided exercises in breathing, the Middle Pillar and other exercises. It is awesome.
Studying the Mysteries is a journeyand should be treated as such. This book is a valued item in my library.
Expect to have your horizons broadened and your old wineskins changed! It is powerful and transforming.

Regardie's text is a classic and a must have. This is the only current printing of it that I'm aware of.
The Cicero's texts are attempts to assist and elucidate areas for those without a developed understanding of the area of work.
Both have their potential uses but for me Regardie's writing stands head and shoulders above the more modern texts.
Perhaps that expresses my biases and current needs more than anything else. I would recommend however that the book be read and considered as two clearly seperate pieces. May they assist.

Good starter book for those on the esoteric path. Israel Regardie is a little verbose but Chick Cicero has edited it into a readable format. Read more

Fantastic introduction to Ritual Magic and Meditation
This is really 2 books in one. The first is by Israel Regardie and gives first a detailed description of the psychoanalytical links to the Magic of the Golden Dawn System. Read more

The reprint is a hack work!
Forget this version... go find the original printing, the "additional material" is disctracting, and takes away from Regardie's Genius!
The original was 5 Stars... Read more
