The Middle Pillar: The Balance Between Mind and Magic Paperback – September 8, 2002

The value of this book lies not just in the Middle Pillar exercise and the Lesser Banishing Ritual. As you go through this book you will discover so much more.You may be interested to know how Jung bridged the gap between spirituality and psychology with his many concepts. I find this chapter alone to be worth many times the value of this book, particularly the picture of the Jungian model, which justifies buying the book.You will learn about the process of individuation in easy to understand language, our meeting with the shadow, and the higher self, and dealing with archetypes. Also included are ideas from other psychiatrists such as the controversial Wilhelm Reich, who is well worth knowing about in spite of all that happened.If you want to know more about Regardie, I recommend his audio cds The Golden Dawn Audio CDs: Volume 1which you can get here on Amazon, which include some trance and self realisation work.

I was pleased to receive this book at a fair price. It was listed as Very Good for its condition and it was. The minor defects were pointed out and I found no others. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

This book is an excellent reference source for your your esoteric training. It contains plenty of exercises that one can perform on a daily basis. Definitely a must read for all practitioners of Magick.

it covers a good amount of material. the tree of life and all the spheres individually, the levels of the soul, the basic rituals and why you should perform them and how it can help you. it gives good information about the pentagram symbol. its not a light reading and for some you may understand by rereading several times and take notes. this book helps with your overall practice in ceremonial its helping me understand the three pillars it fits well into your daily practice,and i would recommend to anyone. for a beginner i would also advise 'a kabbalistic handbook for the practicing magician" very much., its very practical with the spheres and the paths and tarot.

One of the best references, now that the Cicero's have re edited the material.

Important book for students of Kabalah

It's actually half Regardie, the other half further explication by the editors. The result is like two books in one, the second expanding upon the first. The Middle Pillar exercise is basic Western Meditation/Occult 101; the more you understand and practice the more you get out of it. This is a great introduction for beginners, and a fuller explaination for more advanced students. The skills you develop here will serve you for a lifetime.

By now you offer to know if I stop read a book, I to find same more information that I thought I know but me the author weren't on same page I like the author down earth language you don't have to do no hard thinking to fellow. I did same review on books .remember endnotes.
