The
Magician's Companion A Pracical & Encyclopedic Guide to Magical & Religious Symbolism by Bill Whitcomb Magic is nothing more an nothing less than the collected techniques for changing the perceived world by changing ourselves and the symbols that we use to represent the world in consciousness. The word "magic" comes from the Persian word magia, which means "knowing." Magic is the Art of Knowing, of creation, of transformation, and of life, which is the birthright of every human being. The Magician's Companion categorizes and cross-references the major magical symbol systems of the world, allowing the modern student to compare the structure of these systems and examine the methods of their use. |

A magical symbol system is one that describes an integrated and whole world view on both inner and outer levels. The Magician's Companion presents these systems or models in numerical order, each model being listed by the number of symbols that comprise it. This comprehensive book discusses and compares over 35 magical models ranging from Model 0 (concerning nothingness) to Model 91 ( a description of the Enochian watchtowers and the 91 Enochian subaethyrs). Also included are discussions of the theory and practice of magic and ritual, suggested programs of study, an extensive glossary, and much more.
