Meta-Magick The Book of ATEM by Philip H. Farber
Published by Weiser
"Philip H. Farber in his new book has once again shown where Magick meets
the brain." — Richard Bandler, co-founder of NLP
"The intent of Farber's ongoing literary sigil is to move his readers
beyond the practice of individual magicks into the shared space of
collective, consensual hallucination.... Farber quickly branches out in
new directions — casting a visionary world picture as if it were a guide
book, a description and instruction manual to a realm that is quite
literally created in the process of its depiction and subsequent
imagination." — Douglas Rushkoff, author of Coercion and Media Virus
"Years ago, Aleister Crowley published books he considered to be
talismans. In Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem, Philip H. Farber has produced
a book that each reader turns into an evoked entity. It is a unique
linking of ancient techniques of magick combined with modern science and
advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming and even includes concepts that
would be at home in Gibson’s Neuromancer. Atem uses the ancient concept of
evocation while eschewing needless excesses that have evolved around the
techniques over centuries. Instead of relying on objectively questionable
external entities, the book reveals how to bring forth and direct specific
inner qualities. The result combines personal power with practical
simplicity in the first book on the subject that moves evocation into the
21st century." — Donald Michael Kraig
IOT Books says, “Phil Farber is an exceptional magician, a gifted
communicator, and an excellent teacher. NLP is a bridge for chaos magic
into the scientific paradigm, delving into the mystery of effective
magical practice with elucidative pragmatism. IOT Books considers
Meta-Magick to be highly useful to those practitioners who wish to enhance
their magical skills and results. Yet this book is also extremely
applicable to those magicians with newly-evolved magical repertoires."
