The Middle Pillar (1938) by Israel Regardie - Magic Psychological Rituals Audiobook

Israel Regardie was a British/American occultist who lived from 1907-1985. He was known for his knowledge of magical techniques from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and other esoteric orders. He spent time working as a secretary for Aleister Crowley.

The book is about ritual techniques used to calm the practitioner's psyche. The claim is that through relaxing the mind, one can accomplish great things. Regardie outlines how to perform the Qabalistic Cross, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, and the Middle Pillar exercise. He details what each part means, as well as the symbolic significance of the mechanics of the techniques. He explains esoteric Western ideas like the Qabalistic Tree of Life and ties these concepts with similar yet separate spiritual ideas from Eastern spiritual traditions such as Chi, Yoga, and Kundalini Energy.
