INTRODUCTION

Have you ever stopped and seriously asked yourself what are you doing here? - what is the purpose of your short-lived existence on this tiny planet? Is there any kind of creative power in the Universe, is there a plan - is there a God? Does any of it matter? These are questions that mankind has always asked, of himself and of the world around him, of the earth, and of the infinite space above him; however, the 2Oth century has found mankind in such an absurd state of unreality, bombarded on all sides with the trivial glamourisation of lies and half-truths and totally unimportant questions, that he is apparently unable to discriminate and is quite incapable of asking the real questions and taking the obvious steps towards awakening the real self-knowledge. But the answers are most certainly there to be found, revealed in the Stars and the forces which flow from them; in the constellations and the planets the powers of the Stellar deities exist and reveal the truth about YOU. You are the embodiment of the Stellar configurations at the time of your birth - whether you accept it or not, your astrological birth chart is the portrait of your existence. You are indeed a Child of the Stars. Astrology is of course quite a fashionable subject nowadays, as more and more people are waking up to the realisation that it does work. So far, however, no-one has made the next step and wondered what astrology is able to do in the way of making life easier - even the simplest ideas have been totally overlooked, such as making sure that one’s children are born under the best possible combination of good stars. No-one has thought to ask how astrology explains what life is all about, no-one has bothered to apply the Stellar Science as a practical system, as a way of life. This book is the result of many years of practical research and sheer hard work by the members of Europe’s leading occult group - who are indeed the only dedicated experienced group of practising magicians in the world today. This book is the one unique and definitive study of Astrological Magic, the only coherent and infallible system of magical philosophy and mysticism, which is as easily practised by the experienced ritualist as by the most ignorant and naive neophyte. Here is outlined the history of Astrological Magic, the Royal Art to which present-day astrology is but the shadow to the torch. Here we describe the symbolism and use of Stellar Magic, explain the true meanings and powers of the astrological phenomena, and detail the requirements for the performance of the Stellar ritual. Here too we give details of the philosophy of the Stellar Science, illustrate its all-embracing completeness, and demonstrate its relevance to modern humanity. Most importantly we include the planetary invocations and formulae for all the astrological rites, with instructions for the manufacture and consecration of the planetary talismans and weapons; and accounts of our own personal experiences and results from our continuous practice of this system. The stars which governed the writing of this book also rule its present and future readership and their use of our information. All that needs to be said is - Try it. We have examined the past and predicted the future - it is for you to try it, and on finding that it works, it is for you to begin to live and be aware of what you are and where your secret place is in the everchanging cycles of the Universe; and to come to know at last the true nature of the Stellar Gods and Goddesses and their powers manifested in the divinity of mankind. It is you and your children who will establish the Golden Age on Earth.
