About the author

Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

Reviews

[Tracy · Rating 1 out of 5]

The book claims to help guide people on an intuitive path that each user might find what works for them, but then engages in forceful, judgy language telling readers how everything MUST be done. It's written in a very arrogant tone, calling people ignorant and pigheaded. It's heavy with philosophical and religious overtones that reminded me of what drove me away from the craft 20 years ago. Definitely not what the blurb on the back claimed it to be.
