Meta-Magick in London, UK, March 7-8, 2009

with Philip H. Farber

Did you know that your life is filled with magick - in ways you might
not even be aware of? Meta-Magick starts where traditional magick once
began – in the day to day activities and thoughts of the human mind.
Using tools of hypnotherapy, neurolinguistics, meditation, martial
arts, and much more, author Philip H. Farber has devised a system of
practice that makes magical experience – and results – available to
just about everyone.


• Communicate with gods, goddesses, demons, angels, spirits and
other aspects of the unconscious realm.

• Experience the processes by which your brain achieves new
learning and insight.

• Learn to transform and re-align parts of your own consciousness.

• Apply magical processes to create unique works of art.

• Find practical application for own inner experiences,
metaphors, and behavioral tendencies.

• Create balance in your work and art.

The roots of Meta-Magick are diverse. It has been influenced by by
Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), martial arts, applied kinesiology,
hypnosis, Afro-Caribbean spirituality, yoga,Taoism, neuro-scientific
discoveries, and much more, in addition to Western esoteric
traditions. These tools and systems are applied to observing and
replicating magical phenomena in ways that can be calibrated and
tested. This results in a collection of diverse behaviors, techniques,
and patterns that can be combined in creative ways, resulting in new
rituals, works of art, entities, schools of thought, new paradigms and
so on. "Meta" means "above" or "beyond," and "Meta-Magick" is magick
that enables us to think about magick and produce magick. It is magick
about magick.

This is a great opportunity for NLP practitioners (or anyone else) to
learn about magick – and a fantastic chance for magicians (or anyone
else) to integrate some NLP concepts.

Phil will be presenting mind-altering material from his book
Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem. This exciting system dovetails nicely
with most existing forms of magick – Chaos Magick, Thelema, Golden
Dawn magick, Wicca, Shamanic systems, and many more. If you are an
experienced practitioner or a complete beginner, you will learn
techniques to further develop your art and change your life.
Meta-Magick includes a body of about 100 exercises that re-align the
mind in ways that make the basic tools of magick – invocation,
evocation, altered states, and energy work – easily accessible and useful.

Philip H. Farber is the author of Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem
(Weiser Books 2008) and FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century
(Eschaton Productions, 1995), a manual of neurological exploration.
His articles on magick and popular culture have appeared in The
Journal of Hypnotism, Hypnosis Today, Mondo 2000, High Times, Paradigm
Shift, Reality Sandwich, Disinformation and other unique publications
and web sites. Phil is an instructor for Maybe Logic Academy
(www.maybelogic.org), a Certified Hypnotist and a Licensed Trainer of
Neuro-linguistic Programming, with a private practice in New York's
Mid-Hudson Valley. Visit Phil at www.hawkridgeproductions.com.

What people say about Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem:

"Meta-Magick is a brilliant and patently original book of magical
instruction that future generations will revere as an 'ancient
classic.'" - Lon Milo DuQuette, author of My Life with the Spirits
and Enochian Vision Magick

"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, author of Modern Magick

"Phil Farber has a genius for transformative edu-tainment. His writing
captures the warmth and liveliness of his workshops because
multisensory experiential processes are part of every page. In decades
of magickal experimentation and hypnotherapy practice I have never
seen such a concise digest of contemporary techniques for invoking
desirable qualities and banishing negative ones from the attentional
field. It is arguably the ONLY Magick or NLP book you will ever
need... Whether you are healing, exploring or aspiring this is a
journey to the frontiers of consciousness, the cutting edge of human
potential. " - Iona Miller, co-author of The Modern Alchemist

    Phil, Meta-Magick sounds intriguing and I might have to buy your book when I finally get paid (Not for over a month).
    I'm not quite sure what the difference between Chaos Magick and Meta-Magick is, though. Would you mind explaining it to me please?

      Meta-Magick is a set of practices that help us to think about magick - what kinds of behaviors are fundamental to magick, what neurological, linguistic and cultural/memetic factors contribute to what we do as magicians. From these, specific rituals can be derived. Chaos magic also is often (but not always) concerned with the "meta" level of magick. I think there are several common roots to both systems (or non-systems, if you will), but for the most part I think they derive from somewhat different sources. Meta-Magick evolved more from neurolinguistic modeling of magical ritual (as well as such practices as Huna, martial arts and Afro-Caribbean stuff), rather than from Spare/Carroll/Hine. Meta-Magick can be applied to any path, including chaos magic.

      Anyway... shorter answer - there are certainly commonalities in that both (often) seek to understand the roots of magick, but the practices take a different approach.
