About the author
Philip H. Farber is the author of books on ritual magic that draw on neurolinguistic programming, hypnosis, and countercultural history. "Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem," published by Weiser Books, combines traditional ritual structure with concepts from neurolinguistics and memetics to construct a single magical entity, encoded in the book itself and activated through the reader's engagement with it. "High Magick: A Guide to Cannabis in Ritual & Mysticism," from Llewellyn Publications, traces the use of cannabis in spiritual and magical practice from historical elixirs through figures such as Aleister Crowley and Timothy Leary, with an emphasis on incorporating it into ritual settings. Both books sit within the chaos magic and practical occultism tradition, addressing readers already familiar with ritual practice who want to combine it with psychological technique or a specific substance-based practice.
