Synopsis:
Magical Christianity is a means of bringing about spiritual transformation.
It refers to both a mystical transfiguration of the soul and an active participation
in the mediation of Divine Love Power and Wisdom to little suspected inner
aspects of Creation. Contact with such inner realities is achieved through
the imaginative use of symbolic material-images legends myths rites and
ceremonies. This fascinating and insightful study of Christian magical lore
focuses on the mystical significance of seven key archetypes: the Sphere,
the Axis, the Holy Fire, the Center, the Wheel of Life, the Three Worlds,
and the Planes of Being.
