Franz Bardon's Initiation Into Hermetics details a system of magical training. The book's theoretical section explains Hermetic principles, including the four elements and their polarities, the nature of different planes of existence (material, astral, mental), and the concept of the Tetragrammaton. The practical section outlines a multi-step program of mental, psychic, and physical exercises designed to develop magical abilities, including astral projection and elemental manipulation. Specific exercises are provided, along with instructions for creating magical tools like fluid condensers and mirrors. The ultimate goal is spiritual development and achieving a union with God.
