From the editor: The Practice o f Magical Evocation is the second work in Bardon's opus, and thoroughly unique. In magical terms, the book is a practical guide to the proper evocation of and communication with spiritual, magical and divine entities. It is perhaps the only truly significant modern study of direct contact with the universal teachers -- the other major works in the field are products of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Reformation periods.

The Practice of Magical Evocation is also unique in terms of its depth and complexity. Not only does it provide a powerful intellectual rationale for and explanation of the art of evocation itself, but it also outlines the actual practice of the art in great detail, including instruction as to the creation of magic wands, circles, garments, and so on. (Needless to say, the proper use of this information requires a background in Bardon's first work, Initiation into Hermetics.)

But beyond that, there is a fascinating glimpse into a complete magical universe. Bardon outlines a totally new and original hierarchy of magic, from the spirits of the Four Elements to those of the various planets, and even to each degree of the zodiac. Included with the names and descriptions of the various entities are a collection of previously unknown magical sighs, as well as a true account of ancient astrology.
