The Life and Ideas of Israel Regardie, the Magical Psychologist
Gerald Suster
A study of Israel Regardie, one of the most important figures to emerge from the twentieth-century Western occult revival.
Regardie became Aleister Crowley’s secretary in 1928 before establishing himself as an occult writer, practitioner and psychotherapist in his own right. He later became particularly associated with the preservation and transmission of the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, while also exploring the relationship between ceremonial magic, psychology and personal transformation.
Gerald Suster’s Crowley’s Apprentice examines Regardie’s life, his relationship with Crowley, his role within the wider occult movement, and the development of his ideas as both magician and psychologist.
