Marco Visconti is a modern Thelemite, educator, and author whose work focuses on making esoteric principles accessible to contemporary audiences. After spending years immersed in the study of Aleister Crowley's writings and Western occult traditions, Visconti distilled his knowledge into practical guides that help seekers navigate the often-challenging terrain of ceremonial magick and mysticism.

His best-known publication, The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick for Modern Times, has been praised for its structured approach to Crowley's teachings, providing readers with clear instructions for integrating Thelema into daily spiritual practice. Marco's candid style—honest about Crowley's complexities and enthusiastic about Thelema's endur

TAROT OF THE MONTH

Here in Britain, March is rarely the clean, postcard spring people promise themselves in late winter; it is a month of thawed edges, longer light, and sudden reminders that winter still has teeth.

Yet the vector is unmistakable. We are moving toward the Spring Equinox, the point of balance when day and night hold each other in an almost ceremonial poise, and the old story returns: sap rises, the wo

This is a clear, disciplined primer that bridges history and hands-on work with unusual grace. Horowitz frames the project with Jack Parsons’s call for simplicity, then actually delivers it: brisk chapters that define terms, sketch lineage, and move ...more

Quotes by Marco Visconti  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In Thelema, True Will (also Pure Will) is defined as a moment-to-moment path of action that operates in perfect harmony with everything else. True Will does not equate with conscious intent.”
Marco Visconti, The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick for Modern Times

“The most popular is likely ‘the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will’.”
Marco Visconti, The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick for Modern Times

“In this new aeon, you are the central character of the epic. Not gods or heroes: you, and you alone. This is the groundbreaking change of perspective that brings each individual to the centre of the universe, as each becomes essentially one with the interplay between Hadit and Nuit, as we saw earlier. There is no saviour to pray to, no vicarious atonement. In fact, there is nothing to be saved from either–only fantastic adventures to be had, both on this plane of existence and on others.”
Marco Visconti
