This series consists of 3 volumes, authored by Andre Consciencia and published by Falcon Books Publishing.
It is safe to say that each and every book that has been put out to the public by Andre is special. But this series, especially for students of the Franz Bardon tradition is possibly some of his best work.
The realm of elementals is often called the enchanted realm, it is the realm that is being enchanted by the word as in the creative power of light. In a way, it is the natural world inside the creative power of light.
This book covers aspects of The Key to True Quabbalah, by Franz Bardon, and expands them. It is divided into four parts that serve the magician, the theurgist and the learning quabbalist.
During the course of this book, the reader may come in contact with portions of text that remind him of the realms of pure fantasy. What there is to know about the science presented, is the difference Franz Bardon describes between The Practice of Magical Evocation, where the magician is working with the cosmic aspects via their personification, and The Key To True Quaballah, where the quabbalist is working with the cosmic aspects directly through formulas and attached meditations. Astrology, in its most valid aspect, the astrology offered in this work, stands somewhere between the two.
André lives in Moita, Portugal and has been a dedicated practitioner of magic and mysticism for more than two decades.
He met Fraternitas Hermetica (an order based on the works of Franz Bardon) while still a minor and had an initiator that stood even after the order vanished. He also has worked with his old initiator for 20 years. He has experience of other magical systems such as AMORC, Order of Michael’s Grail (with roots on Dion Fortune), Thelemic Golden Dawn, Astrum Argentum, the Typhonian OTO and the OTOA-LCN.
André teaches neo-shamanism and has his own active group of practitioners. Aside from his shamanic path, which he puts to use as a simple way to reach the uninitiated, he has been through the hermetic magical systems of Franz Bardon, as well as through systems presented by Rosicrucian orders and Thelemic organizations, still being a member of the Chaorder of SilverDusk and a member of the Inner Council of the Horus Maat Lodge, in which he holds the Portuguse Nexus.
