'Now, at last, this volume makes available to the occult student not only the symbolic-masonic riches of the initiate on rituals of the [Ordo Templi Orientis] but the secret magical instructions of the Order's seventh, eighth and ninth degrees, the full details of the techniques from which such occultists as Theodor Reuss and Aleister Crowley derived their mystic powers' (dustwrapper blurb).
