Franz Bardon: Questions & Answers (Paperback)

~ Gerhard Hanswille (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Franz Bardon is regarded by many as the greatest Hermetic adept of the 20th century. A tireless worker for the light, he survived Hitler's concentration camples but died a victim of Communist persecution in 1958. He left behind him four legendary books which have become acknowledged classics of occult literature. This present volume is the first complete new work from the hand of Franz Bardon to appear since his famous series of books on Hermetics. Compiled from the notes of his students in Prague, it represents his oral teachings on the nature of the magical universe. Set in the form of questions and answers, this book is an invaluable addition to the Bardon material.

About the Author

With permission from Divine Providence, the spirit of a highly developed Hermetic adept entered the body of a fourteen-year-old child named Franz Bardon, destined to become one of the most remarkable magicians of the 20th century. Though he maintained a "normal life" as an industrial mechanic and family man in the Czech town of Opava, his other, occult life was full of attainment, power and tragedy. During the last years of WWII, Franz Bardon spent three and a half years in a concentration camp, from which he ultimately escaped. After the war, he practiced as a naturopath and graphologist and devoted himself to the teaching of Hermeticism and the writing of his now classic works, Initiation into Hermetics, The Practice of Magical Evocation, and The Key to the True Kabbalah. This newly discovered work will help students of Hermetics with precise information on universal principles.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to par with Bardon's other work, November 28, 1999

Not one of Bardon's written works, more just a collection of comments by him on various subjects, collected - I gather - from the notes of students, and then cut up and each prefaced with a "question" that seems derived from the comment after the fact.

Bardon's other 4 books (which are more properly called his written work than is this one) are *excellent*. But "Questions and Answers" is forgettable.

5.0 out of 5 stars GOOD FOR GENERAL UNDERSTANDING, September 30, 2003

By A Customer

Thhis book was written before the Bardon books. It is a series of questions and answers that some students of Master Bardon compiled when he was teaching before writing the trilogy. It is an interesting book and should be read after finishing the other books.

This book is loaded with very interesting material that amplifies everything in Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics. The student of Bardon's teachings will be glad to read what is in this book. It is really good. Bardon's work is the best.
