Ogdoadic Magick by Norman R. Kraft

A credible and meaningful text for the initiate. Aurum Solis includes a clear definition of magic for readers who want to undertake a reliable study of magic, drawing on multiple sources. Ogdoadic magic employs the eightfold star as its symbol ofthe earnest search for union with the divine. By examining the history of Western civilization to illustrate the esoteric significance of the number eight in Western spiritual traditions, Kraft establishes the Order Aurum Solis in a 20th Century context.
