Additional content covers psychic self‑defense, evocation of spirits, the Kabbalah, Wicca, pathworking, Tantra, and sex magic. Each chapter concludes with a bibliography, and an annotated bibliography at the end offers further resources.

Music for inner space by 11914487|Nevill Drury book cover

📘 Music for inner space

Discusses the usefulness of music for meditation, looks at connections with the Kabbalah, the Tarot, astrology, yoga, and ancient Egyptian cosmology, and suggests directions in the search for higher consciousness. Nevill Drury (born 1947) is an editor and publisher, as well as author of many books such as The New Age: The History of a Movement,Stealing Fire from Heaven: The Rise of Modern Western Magic,Merlin's Book of Magick and Enchantment,Magic and Witchcraft: From Shamanism to the Technopagans,The Shaman's Quest: Journeys in an Ancient Spiritual Practice,The Occult: A Sourcebook of Esoteric Wisdom,The Illustrated Dictionary of Natural Health, etc. He wrote in the Foreword to this 1985 book, "This book is essentially about music, cosmology and meditation. I am sure there will be some purists who will take exception to some of the blendings of mysticism and music that are suggested here, but I do hope that there are also readers who believe, as I do, that spiritual frameworks which are truly vibrant are themselves capable of transformation... My approach has been to present background material on several major esoteric traditions alongside an account of trance and meditation music and the various techniques of activating the creative imagination."
