Overview

The Clearest and Most Detailed Guide to Ætheric Magic and How to Use It The æther, the energetic realm at the heart of esoteric traditions and vital to nearly every type of magic, has long been veiled in obscure language and mystery.

"""�theric Magic provides a rigorous examination of Western esoteric traditions, offering a comprehensive framework for engaging with subtle energies. The text meticulously explores a spectrum of techniques and practices derived from both historical and contemporary sources within the Western mystery and magickal traditions, guiding readers through the intricacies of awakening and directing �theric energy. These exercises are well-crafted to deepen practitioners' engagement with the esoteric arts, delivering practical insights and methods for seamlessly integrating these practices into everyday life. This book stands as a significant resource for those seeking to elevate their magickal practice through well-researched and systematically structured techniques."" --Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch, Mastering Magick, and The Psychic Art of Tarot ""In Western esoteric practices, the term 'energy' is often used casually without proper explanation. This issue becomes significant when magical practices fail, and can be attributed to insufficient power or incorrect energy. To address this gap, Ike Baker broadly explores various esoteric traditions to articulate a clear and practical definition of magical energy. His work is crucial because many alchemical methods become entangled in complex jargon, making them seem inaccessible and enigmatic--often labelled as alchemy to denote their obscurity. Baker, however, avoids getting trapped in the specialized vocabulary of alchemy, Eastern Tantra, or Taoism. Instead, he presents these concepts of energy within a Western alchemical context that is straightforward and comprehensible."" --Nick Farrell, author of Helios Unbound"

Focusing on the practice of energetic working, the personal transformations that occur, and the spiritual hygiene required, this manual offers both an important perspective and also a plethora of practical exercises to enhance and develop practice. This book is refreshing, invigorating, and long overdue!"" --David Rankine, esoteric researcher, magician, and author of many books, including A Cunning Man's Grimoire ""In Western esoteric practices, the term 'energy' is often used casually without proper explanation.

He offers a crisp summary of the structures underpinning both Western and Eastern magical systems and shows how they compare....�theric Magic offers a program of exercises to turn magical theory into magical practice. Working with Alchemical, Hermetic, and Qabbalistic symbolism, the reader will discover how to develop, enhance, and control the magical senses needed to put aetheric magic into dynamic practice. Whether you're a new or experienced magician, if you work with the exercises and rituals in this book, your magic will be stronger and more balanced--and much more effective."" --Isidora Forrest, Senior Hermetic Adept and author of Isis Magic"
