The teachings of a real Shaman revealed!,
By RX (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
In this treatise, Samael Aun Weor reveals the magical practices (and their step by step application) that have been used for countless centuries by the mystical Shaman Priests of one of the most ancient indigenous tribes in South America: the Kogi.This tribe has been tucked away in a very remote area in the Amazonian jungles of Colombia and have allowed a handful of non-Kogi people into their mystical sanctuaries and initiatic fraternities to learn their ancient mystical rites and practices. This book has countless recipes and magical remedies for hundreds of illnesses, from simple colds and warts to cancer and STD's. This book also gives step by step magical procedures for the invocation of Angels and nature spirits (elementals); how to prepare, the hour and day of the magical rite, the correct incenses, mantras, incantations, equipment etc. From the construction and preparation of a magic mirror to the precise techniques for astral travel (and Jinn travel!) this book is a compendium of everything one needs to learn how to apply white magic and esoteric healing. A must have for any occultist.

A Complete Treasure,
This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
This book has it all, from Theurgy to Occult Medicine to Magic Invocations. Occult Medicine and Practical Magic is one of lifes greatest textbooks. You will find yourself constantly referring to the information in this book, so keep it on a shelf close by. Thank you Samael Aun Weor! A special thank you is also deserved for the publishers, Thelema Press, who included such intricate details as the scientific names for plants and herbs.

Occult Medicine book,
This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
FORWARD TO THE READER:
"This book has been delivered as a 1977-1978 Christmas Message. "This Message was proofed by the author, who later added many formulae of High Magic, Theurgy, Occult Botany, Thaumaturgy, Elementotherapy, Esoteric Medicine, Nahualism, etc. "In reality, we truly have written this book for individuals who are presently weary of the many pseudo-occulist and pseudo-esoteric theories. It is written for those who want to enter into the internal worlds immediately. It is written for those who now yearn to enter into the laboratorium of Nature. "Certainly, it is very painful for us to see people wasting their time miserably. We want practical magicians, true occultists and not simple charlatans. Authentic Gnostic physicians are needed, true magicians and botanists, practical people in medicine and magical matters." -THE AUTHOR, 1977 In reference to his wife Litelantes: "This female Adept possesses continuous consciousness, and through innumerable reincarnations, has succeeded in revitilizing and training certain occult faculties that, among other things, permit her to remember her past lives and the history of the planet and its races. On her own, she investigated and discovered the Jinn states mentioned by Mr. Mario Roso de Luna and Arnold Krumm-Heller. She collaborated with Master Aun Weor in the scientific investigation of the vegetable elementals mentioned in "A Treatise on Occult Medicine"... "This powerful seer has all the wisdom of the centuries in her mind and with her clairvoyant faculties, has collaborated with Master Aun Weor, studying the various divisions of elementals in Nature." -SAMAEL (in the third person) GENERAL/MAIN OUTLINE (each category and heading has multiple sub-categories and sub-headings): {1}Introduction to Occult Medicine, Preparation & Discipline of the Gnostic Doctor, Theurgy, Secrets of Practical Magic, The Fourth Coordinate {2}Occult Medication & Magical Works, Conjurations and Prayers, Magic Invocations, Magic Exorcisms {3}Elementotherapy, Medicinal Plants, Zodiacal Plants, Study and Exercise of Elemental Magic {4}Occult Medication, General Purpose Medications, Medications, Healing from a Distance, Gnostic Medics {5}Appendices -This book is finally now available in a complete English edition fully illustrated with drawings, pictures, diagrams, maps and symbols. Photographs of the many various plants and flowers mentioned are also included. A great sense of priveledge and joy fills you when you hold this book in your hands. Thank you Thelema Press

Excellent alternative point of view,

This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
An excellent guide for those of us that are searching....Mr. Aun Weor brings up some excellent points, as well as illuminating various hidden details of the world around us. I have proven to myself (experimentally) at least some of his claims, which lends credibility to both his intent and his methods. I would highly recommend his works for those researching "that which is hidden".

Incredible,
This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
This book is packed with practical information. This is no scholarly or philosophical text: it is a manual of techniques and training which reflects the methods and wisdom of the most ancient and profound medical science. Hundreds of treatments are included, as well as hundreds of prayers, mantras, magical practices, and medicinal herbs. A landmark book.

Healing the sick,
By
This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
This book contains many methods to help the sick. There is a large section on elemental therapy (working with the spirits of the plants) with many beautiful photographs and illustrations of these plants. There are many prayers, mantras and invocations included in this book. These have healed many sick people I have worked with, including those who did not have a good prognosis given by their medical doctors. Prayers, mantras and invocations are most helpful when said with complete faith.

Visit your local shaman instead!,

This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
I purchased this book based on all the excellent reviews and commentaries of previous readers. I am not, nor do I profess to be, by any stretch, an authority or student of Gnostic teachings--however, I do have a great interest in the subject matter and have been an avid reader/follower of Metaphysical and Occult works for well over a decade.
My primary objective in reading "Occult Medicine & Practical Magic" was to undertsand how plants and their range of energies/vibrations interfaced with human healing and how I might apply that wisdom in aiding some of my own health issues. Instead, I found the book's contents in these specific areas not only archaic but hugely impractical. Many of the formulas/concoctions are so esoteric in nature that only a gifted Shaman would be able to assist in the preparation and application of them. Additionally, the Chapters on the "Introduction To Occult Medicines" were so heavily mired in religious and egotistical bias/judgement/rhetoric that I found it's overall content disappointing at best. There were some gems of enlightened information such as Forklore From The Sierra Nevada. Gleanings throughout the book however, were much harder to digest--for instance, the heading entitled Teaching's of Jesus, took on the usual 'literal' Biblical interpretation (i.e. Jesus' Mantra to raise the dead!) I found it rather interesting that with all of Mr. Aun Weor's supreme levels of Initiation that he wasn't able to render the alleogrical meaning (astrological and psychological) of that famous Biblical parable. If the reader is considering this book based on an interest of healing by way of plants, I'd strongly recommend the herbal classic "Back To Eden" by Jethro Kloss, for a fraction of this book's price tag. Also, "Plant Spirit Medicine" by Eliot Cowan. For those of you seeking rich, albeit palpable Occult/spiritual/ metaphysical guidance, log on to [...]. For those readers so inclined to undercover and investigate in-depth instruction on Magic, "Occult Medicine & Practical Magic" may prove of benefit.

Occult Medicine Student of Gnosis,

This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
Perfect for students of Gnosis. However be aware that the items needed for some cures are difficult to procure for many people.
Not a Student? That's okay... this book can help you on many topics but it is important that you use it with an open mind and faith. Not a belief that it may or will work but true faith from the heart.

This review is from: Occult Medicine & Practical Magic (Paperback)
Wow was all I could say. A spiritual healer's almanac indeed. The commentary concerning the astral plane and what really happens after death was very interesting and sheds light on the different spiritual parts of an individual which leave the personality behind to roam the earth like a phantom. This resolved many of my questions concerning the bible's after-death idiosyncracies. Who would of thought that some health problems have spiritual origins that can't be treated by modern medicine? I used the practice for passionflower tea to help me treat depression where other things have failed. A must have.
