Hermetic Magic: The Postmodern Magical Papyrus of Abaris, edited and introduced by Stephen Edred Flowers PhD, presents the technical formulas of the Hermetic tradition of magic, many of them well documented but rarely assembled for the community of modern magicians. The authentic Hermetic formulas concealed in the magical papyri of Egypt have great potency, representing the first known attempt to forge many traditions of magic into a unified system. Flowers, a scholar and magician, has organised this book into four parts covering History, Theory, Practice, and Operation in the form of the text of the Magical Papyrus of Abaris, enabling students to proceed through these stages as they study the material. Includes sixteen appendices with recipes for divination, lunar positions for workings, a glossary of divine names, and an index of common magical formulas. Samuel Weiser Inc, York Beach, Maine.
