Memories of Fanz Bardon

["thelightdwellswithin" <chipper189@...>]

Dear group,

Has anyone from this group gotten this book? I just received it this 
week and I must say that the book although small is a nice 
testimonal to the adept.

I would not mind starting a discussion on the book itself. I found 
one thing of particular interest. Franz Bardon lived a very modest 
and quiet life, not to mentain a gentleman. What a contrast to 
Crowley and Mathers and their like :)

When you read and study his Practice of evocation towards the end of 
the book their is a picture of a magician conducting an evocation in 
a lavish and beautiful temple. Before I read this book I always 
thought Bardon had at least a huge house in which to have a room 
dedicated to himself and evocations. In reality Bardon had a small 
house, sounds like me and it sounds like he had to practice his 
magick in a small limited space in the house, sounds familar to any 
of you :) 

Here is a man that I can truly say lived an adept's life without the 
self-aggrandiment that many like to live. I also did not know that 
he conducted many of his evocations in the cemetary. What a place of 
choice :), but according to those that wrote the book he found it to 
be a place of most peace and with little or no interruption. 

Overall I enjoyed the book. My only compliant is that the book is 
too small(100 pages). I would have liked to have had at least a book 
of 250-300 pages on Bardon, this book left me wanting to know more 
about the man.
