The Definitive Edition of a Timeless Classic The Middle Pillar was one of the first books to introduce a psychological perspective on magic and practical occultism. Now this classic work has been extensively edited, annotated, and expanded, making Regardie`s original insights and his version of the Golden Dawn magical techniques even more accessible and relevant to modern-day students of practically any tradition. Just as Israel Regardie rescued the Golden Dawn from oblivion, so have the Ciceros, with their unrivaled grasp of magical practice, maintained it as a living tradition made available to all. Now in this marvelous new edition of Regardie`s classic study, they blend their expertise with his and demonstrate their commitment to the philosophy of the Order by giving us access to the psycho-spiritual theory that underlies its magic. They are, indeed, true magicians of the Golden Dawn. -- R. A.
