"I was in Chapters in Dublin in a minute and on preparation the yoga amount a picture popped at me plump. It was Charles Stansfield Jones, AKA Frater Achad in the dragon asana (Scrupulous IN CROWLEYS LIBER E VEL EXCITORUM). As it was on sale I bought a copy!My sum facade of the book is positive. It is well written and edited and maintains a good go by. It has a good plaza in the company of moot cloth and practical suggestions. It is written by someone who has a customs in what's more yoga and magick. This is in recurrent ways a very thelemic book in that the tips are uniquely resulting from Crowley texts (Specifically LIBER E). References to several other thelemic texts are prepared in. If one reviews the transcript, it is in recurrent ways a recapitulation of Crowleys Abstract 4:
Upper limb 1" and "EIGHT LECTURES ON YOGA" but simplified down to a least of create and some practical suggestions. Record of the suggestions for practice are resulting from "LIBER E VEL EXCITORUM" (Likewise BY CROWLEY), conversely blessing is as well prepared to" LIBER III VEL JUGORUM, LIBER RESH VEL HELIOS", and a rather evanescent blessing to "LIBER ASTARTE VEL BERYLLI", which I well found more exactly disconcerting as this (Inoperative Among THE Feasible EXAMPLES OF "LIBER NU" and "LIBER HAD") is THE thelemic blessing for batkhi yoga.
In generous a history of yoga a quick complete stress was positioned on Aleister Crowley as ignoring other magickal luminaries like Dion Forune, whose book "THE Lap up OF FORC"e deals with unequivocally with the occult anatomy of yoga); Franz Bardon, whose "Outset Dressed in THE HERMETICS" is the unusual integrated type of Western yoga; and no suggest is prepared of the work of John Woodruffe, AKA Arthur Avalon in the impulses of yoga in the West.
It was as well earliest hazy as to what dissection of yoga was years explored as the real McCoy introduction prepared a big commotion about the advantages of hatha yoga, yet the rest of the book deals well-nigh expressly with Raja yoga. Of more exactly some use is the period on the chakras and the nadis, which does not mark in any of the Crowley works mentioned add-on. It is sharply yet helpful.Awful this book is a pr?cis of several texts by Aleister Crowley on yoga and practical schooling. It has complete on top cloth for a well read Thelemite and in top figure luggage Crowley covers the disembark superfluous earnestly. Tranquil in all of this I am not criticising this book at its nitty-gritty equally it does acceptable what it says on the tin.
It is a sharply guide to yoga for (THELEMIC) magick. It does not resolution my wildest wet dreams for a book on yoga and magick, but it is friendly and free for someone by this wounded person for the unusual time, and the synthesis of complex texts and the restriction down to the uniform basics makes it a do better than starting while than Crowley for the nascent Thelemite. If I'm asked for a give proof by a Cath guarantee (NEWBIE), I hand down probably be referring them to this book. And for my Irish readers, conversely I would unusual like to while out I am not an pass of Chapters, copies are muted open at lonesome EUR5.99!
