Photologicon Vol. 2 Jeffrey Patrick Corley

The Photologicon is a complete foundation for those who wish to conduct or participate in any form of modern metaphysical ritual. It was created as a curriculum for the Universal Circle of Light, but has evolved to serve the larger world of modern metaphysical practices, from basic Neo-Paganism to Neo-Hermeticism. Anyone wanting to find a more positive, philosophically grounded, spiritually focused, universal, and progressive path will appreciate what this book has to offer. Those who approach this work without any prior related studies or experience will find themselves benefitted by the thoroughness of the explanations provided here, while advanced practitioners will find this text indispensable, since many of the subjects are examined in much greater depth than is usual. Practitioners of other faiths will also find this text useful, since the essence of human religion and its expression through ritual symbolism are truly universal. Volume 2: A Practical Foundation Explains the functions of each of the ritual Offices, what each symbolizes, what is required for effective execution of each, then undertakes a step-by-step analysis of the mechanics of ritual. Each process in each of the Solar rites and Zodiacal rituals prescribed in our Operative Formulary is discussed thoroughly. All of the history, symbolism, and contemporary significances of each ritual and each process in the various rituals are examined. Helpful guidance is given for mastering these processes and maximizing the effect of ritual.
