About the author
Clifford Bias (1910-1987) was a visionary explorer of the unseen, a figure who bridged the worlds of formal ministry and esoteric practice. From a remarkably young age, Bias claimed an innate connection to the spectral realm, a lifelong dialogue with the departed that would shape his unique spiritual path. Ordained a minister, he served diverse congregations, yet his true calling lay in weaving together diverse mystical currents. He was instrumental in founding movements like the Spiritualist-Episcopal Church and the Universal Spiritualist Association, fostering communities dedicated to spiritual exploration. Bias's intellectual pursuits culminated in the establishment of the Ancient Mystical Order of Seekers (A.M.O.S.), a crucible for his profound engagement with Western esotericism. Through A.M.O.S., he authored seminal works such as *The Book of Light*, *The Tarot – The Book of Thoth*, and *Qabalah, Tarot and the Western Mystery Tradition*. These writings, along with his *Ritual Book of Magic*, offer seekers a direct pathway into the mysteries of Qabalah, Tarot, and the rich tapestry of Western occult thought.
