Yet another excellent text by Franz Bardon. This book, taken together with his two other excellent textbooks, form a very strong core of study and practical exercises for the serious student of the Hermetic Sciences. Bardon is clear, concise, and has a good sense of humor. He also anticipates the important questions of the novice in an easy manner and never takes a condescending tone. This is not to say that he is an easy master to learn from. He insists that the student hold him/herself to a very high standard in every aspect of life, and the exercises given are deceptively simple, and very difficult to perfect. In fact they take a lifetime to do so. If you are looking for an easy system to rule the universe, this book is not for you. If, however, you are looking for a system to put you on the path to complete the Great Work, this book, taken in conjunction with Bardon's 'Initiation into Hermetics' and 'Introduction to Magical Evocation' will do just that... and the Path has it's own rewards.

The book is a truly excellent for showing how the sacred word is applied, but the color and element correlations are all mixed up: In one part of the book one element and/or color is connected with a letter...then there is another color or element shown in another part of the book for the same letter. You would never find this out unless you seriously studied the book. I don't know if the printer made the mistakes, or if Franz Bardon made the errors due to the stress of the situations he was under while writing the book. Still, even with these errors, the book is worth the price. Franz Bardon was (is) a true initiate, and worthy of all respect, and praise for what he has given to humanity through his writings!

Where as Practice of magical evocation is not so much needed (in my opinion) because they have so much out there on evocation. KTK is very unique. Here you will find the sound,letter,color,and meaning of the makeup of the universe. Very cool. Only downside is its not to clearly written, buy a notebook and take notes.
