Very down to earth book on a very important subject

I really enjoyed this book as I was not quite sure how to approach the abramelin book. For example, in the old book it talks about cleanliness, giving advice on how we should bath once a week to be pure. Obviously, 500-some years ago, people didn't have alot of water and using it to bath daily(like most modern city people do)well, once a week was more often than those folks were accustomed to. So I like that this book explains that we don't really have to follow that book down to the letter, as most of it is very Christian anyway, and as any practicing occultist would know, angels are NOT confined to Christian/Jewish beliefs, and that the HGA is most probably not even an angel at all.

I like this book very much and reccomend it to anyone who has already read the three books of abramelin the mage, and would like a modern interpretation of it.

I've just ordered "New Hermetics" by this same author and I'm sure it's great. It basically modernizes "Initiation into Hermetics" by Franz Bardon, so if you've had trouble reading that book too, get this new book as it uses common-sense easy to understand language. Visit the authors website to get previews of that book.

Simply brilliant!..

This could have been a much longer book and sometimes I wish it was.

The author has a clear grasp on the subject of western mysticism and makes it clear to the reader. And this is no small task. Just his description alone of what the Knowledge and Conversation is with the Holy Guardian Angel makes this book worthy reading. But, even more, he's quite clear about the various approaches to meeting that objective, including straightforward devotion (often overlooked).

I hope this one stays in print for a while to give people a chance to discover it. The simple smart writing style is interesting (which is something often missing from works like this).

I often re-read it because of its wisdom. A great addition to my library.

an interesting form of the Abramerlin

This book is a very good read for those of us who have tried the old methods represented in Mathers version of the Abramerlin.

i AGREE WITH THE THE CONCEPTS OF NEW (old) AGE MAGIK IN THIS BOOK THEY WORK.

A new effective look on the abramelin operation

The book delivers what it promises: a modern look on the abramelin operation and the possible procedures involved in obtaining the so called knowledge and conversation with your Holy Guardian Angel, samadhi, or whatever your label of choice is for this ineffable experience you are after. Just like "The New Hermetics" (another title by the same author which I sincerely recommend for those with an interest in magick and/or NLP...and how big is the difference between the two after all?), 21st Century Mage keeps an eye on the past and tradition, while at the same time cutting through whatever may be superfluous, and keeping a very effective, non-dogmatic, outcome-oriented attitude. If you have a general interest for the abramelin operation and are after a good read, or if you are looking for the book that finally makes it sound feasible, explains how, and spurs you to seriously invest your time to DO IT, 21st Centruy Mage definitely has its place on your bookshelf.

So simple...

this book is awesome. it explains in great detail, yet simply, how to attain what crowley called the "knowledge and conversation of your holy gurdian angel." cutting through all the crap, he distills the essence of Abramalin. its so simple. change your self, change the world.

reviews: page 1, 2

For the first time since its initial translation into English at the turn of the century, Jason Newcomb has reinterpreted the sacred magic of Abramelin the Mage into a completely relevant program for contemporary seekers. In the thirty-one chapters of 21st Century Mage, Newcomb has reinvented the Knowledge and Conversation of Your Holy Guardian Angel ritual. He lays out a course of practice and prayer -- and introduces a whole new generation to the Crowleyan esthetic.

Thought to be the simplest and most effective explanation of secret Western doctrine, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, a 15th century text, laid the foundation for the nineteenth century occult group, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and set young Aleister Crowley on his spiritual quest. This is the book that served as the cornerstone of Crowley's lifelong practice.
