In beginning your magickal path, do you feel overwhelmed by the jumble of possible practices? Our Probationer’s Guide walks you through the heart of Thelemic vertical magick. Navigate your first steps with confidence. If you are ready to embark upon your authentic hero’s journey, wait no longer. This short, accessible book hands you the compass you’ve been looking for.
Created for Probationers of Grady Louis McMurtry’s lineage of Aleister Crowley’s A∴A∴ (inner school), yet suitable for theorists and solo practitioners alike, the Probationer’s Guide transmits
- the big picture of the A∴A∴
- the point, as well as obligations, of the Probationary period
- foundational readings from the vaunted Thelemic Essays series (plus others)
- core rituals and practices
- guide for further study and practice, and
- questions for self-assessment
all in one convenient location.
The A∴A∴ path is for the “few & secret” (Book of the Law I:10). If you are called to a higher life, this helpful guidebook will help you find the clarity and direction you need.
Probationer’s Guide is the first in the five-volume, A∴A∴ Grade guidebook series entitled Working the A∴A∴ System on the Tree of Life by A∴A∴ Inner Head Christopher Reed Johnson. Forthcoming volumes comprise guides for members of the man of Earth, Lover (Outer), Lover (Inner), and Hermit Grades.
Christopher Reed Johnson (Laus Priapo Deo 217) serves as the Inner Head of the Grady Louis McMurtry A∴A∴. He runs the Royal and the Lofty Clerk House in Woodstock, Georgia.
