Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide book for exploring spiritual alchemy, magical practice, the cultivation and use of several of the Sacred Teacher Plants, and the constructive application of altered states. Covers such magical applications as conjuring illusions, healing and necromancy, and basic alterations of the Material Plane. This guide also includes a complete break-down of existence itself, with a detailed explanation of the Seven Planes of Existence. It was my wish to disclose the ""secrets"" that others are bound by oath to not reveal, and in so doing, to reinforce and invigorate the magical practices of our day.
