A no-nonsense handbook rather than a commentary. Marco Visconti takes the Holy Guardian Angel experience as his centre of gravity and works outward through the rituals that surround it — the Headless Rite, the Abramelin Operation, Liber Samekh, and several that contemporary books tend to leave out.

This is the sequel to his first book and it assumes you want to practice, not just read. Step-by-step methods, daily work, and an extended reading of the Major Arcana of the Thoth Tarot as a map of transformation.

At a glance

  • Hardcover, 304 pages
  • Author: Marco Visconti
  • Published: December 02, 2025
  • Dimensions: 1.1 x 9.3 x 6.1 in
  • Core focus: the Holy Guardian Angel experience, myths dispelled
  • Rituals surveyed: the Headless Rite, the Abramelin Operation, Liber Samekh and others
  • Also covers: the Major Arcana of the Thoth Tarot and the alchemical underpinnings of Thelema

How to work with it

  • Read it as a sequel. Visconti is advancing beyond his first book, and it shows.
  • Pick one practice and stay with it. The book offers real daily practices; the point is repetition, not collection.
  • Keep a record. Thelemic work rewards a diary more than a good memory.
  • Use the Thoth chapters alongside a deck. The Major Arcana material reads very differently with the cards in front of you.
  • Expect the Great Work framing — the alchemical language is used deliberately, as inner transformation rather than metallurgy.

✨ Temple Tip — the diary is the practice

Every serious Thelemic writer says this and every beginner ignores it. Buy a plain notebook at the same time as the book. What you record is what you can later interpret.

Questions we get asked

Is this for beginners?
It is a practical handbook to advanced Thelemic practices, and it continues from Visconti's earlier book. Some grounding helps.

In short

Aleister Crowley's Mysticism is a 304-page hardcover by Marco Visconti, published in December 2025 as a sequel to his earlier book. It centres on the Holy Guardian Angel experience and works outward through associated rituals including the Headless Rite, the Abramelin Operation and Liber Samekh, and reads the Major Arcana of the Thoth Tarot as a map of transformation. Practitioners use it as a step-by-step handbook for daily Thelemic work, typically kept alongside a practice diary and a Thoth deck. The hardcover sells for $33.99. It assumes an interest in practice and some familiarity with Thelemic vocabulary — it is not an introduction to Crowley.
