The BardonPraxis was a discussion group on yahoogroups.com that I created the night of 25 December, 2002.  I created it out of a desire for a more focused forum than existed at that time.  The BardonPraxis was a fully moderated group specifically for those who were actively pursuing the work of Franz Bardon's "Initiation Into Hermetics", "The Practice of Magical Evocation" and/or "The Key to the True Quabbalah". To the best of my ability as moderator, discussion was limited to practical and theoretical issues directly related to the pursuit of Bardon's system of initiation. Since it was a moderated group, I examined all submissions for relevance before they were posted to the website and, for the most part, I like to think I kept our discussion on track and fruitful.  :)  The BardonPraxis group became very successful (as far as that can be determined by number of members and messages) and ultimately benefited countless students of Bardon's system. 

During the 28 months of its existence, I learned that moderating an active discussion group can be the equivalent of a full-time job!  ;-)  Eventually, it became too much of a personal time-burden for me to maintain and still attend to my other work.  So in early April of 2005, I announced my impending retirement from Bardon-related discussion groups after 10 years of direct online participation.  As a consequence, I closed the BardonPraxis forum at the end of April.  At the time of its end, it had grown to 712 members and 3,835 messages were exchanged.

In the final month of its existence, the BardonPraxis (and I personally) received countless requests that the archive of messages be preserved and made accessible to the public after the group's closure.  The majority of the archive was posted almost immediately thanks to the efforts of Paulo Cunha and now, thanks to the kind efforts of David Yeh, I am able to post the entire archive!  :) 

This link leads you to the "Main" page which begins a 39 page numerical / chronological arrangement of the messages, as well as links to other options for sorting the archive.  You can arrange all the messages by date, by author (i.e., screen name), by thread and by subject (i.e., title of message). 

However, this does not actually search the archive -- all it does is arrange the archive in different ways.  So to facilitate your actually searching the BardonPraxis archive for specific words, names, dates, etc., here is a search engine dedicated just to the Archive.
