The Book of the Glyph

Rating:
Summary: Planetary Magick on a Grand Scale
Review: If you are interested in planetary magick on a grand scale, this book is for you. The Book of the Glyph details the workings of a group of Planetary Magickians working in the Ogdoadic Tradition on a grand scale, building a device 2 1/2 miles across.

The narrative of the first section followed by the practical information in the second half makes this book both entertaining and useful to anyone interested in planetary magick.

Highly recommended.

Summary: So, you wanna build a Glyph?
Review: It's about time for a work like this. Being a reader of metaphysics and occult matters for much of my adult life, I've always deplored the lack of materials of the most practical nature and of the missing element for all students: anectdotal reporting.

This book is an account of the author and his immediate circle of ceremonial magicians who have elected to construct "a gigantic magickal machine, 2-1/2 miles on a side", nestled onto the city in which they live and work in an effort to "make everything okay". Further, it is a collection of the ceremonies, liturgies and correspondences which make it all go; the tables of planetary correspondences at the end of the book are most thorough and illuminating.

Their adventure is compelling and reveals a subtext that encourages all of us to participate in our immediate environment and to "live like it matters." Vital reading for anyone interested in Planetary Magick, The Order of the Aurum Solis, ceremonial traditions generally.
