The UK publisher Lewis Masonic has released The Art and Science of Initiation edited by Jediah French and Angel Millar.
The book features chapter on “Initiation into Aleister Crowley’s Magick” (discussing O.T.O. and A∴A∴) by noted Thelemic author Dr. Richard Kaczynski. The publisher’s descriptions sez:
“Freemasonry is the largest and most public of the philosophical fraternal orders, and at its heart lies the process of initiation for instructing new members. What exactly is the process of initiation? How did it originate? What changes does it seek to bring about in the candidate? How does it work? More importantly, why is it so integral to Freemasonry?
“Through essays written by Freemasons, scholars of history, and mainstream authors and practitioners, The Art and Science of Initiation illuminates the theory and practice of various mystical/philosophical traditions and their processes of initiation. This book takes the reader into the heart of the initiatic experience. The method by which to enter into communion with spiritual worlds and reach higher levels of consciousness and soul maturation—i.e., initiation—remains as relevant for us today as it was for the people of antiquity.”
