A Practical Treatise on the Real Value of Crystal-Gazing

The Purpose of this little volume is three-fold. I.—To give those who are interested in the art of Crystal-Gazing a clear and concise method of procedure, not alone in the practice of the work, but also in the preparation of the crystal itself, so that it becomes a true material basis or link with other planes. 2.—To show that the Ancient Methods of Working -- if properly understood -- are more scientific than modern ones, since they were designed to insure a definite type of vision and to put the Seer in touch with definite Intelligences of a Higher Order. 3.—To point out that there are other Crystalline Spheres besides the crystal ball at first used to contact them; and that eventually the practice may lead to very high results, if the necessary steps are taken to insure success.

Charles Stansfield Jones, also known as Frater Achad, was at one time designated to be Aleister Crowley's magical heir when Achad's magical advancement coincided with Crowley's search for a successor. A student of Crowley's Thelemic mystery schools, Jones discovered the "key" to "The Book of the Law", source work of Thelemic magick. His magical attainment remains both an inspiration and warning as some saw him as an Adept, beyond their understanding, while others thought him mad, or stuck in the Abyss. He is the author of many other books and articles.
