Astral Projection: The Psychonaut’s Manual
by Thomas Karlsson
Man has always been fascinated by his own ability to transport himself with his astral body, both through the already known world and through dimensions that go beyond human knowledge.
Thomas Karlsson, scholar of religion, Swedish magician and an experienced astral traveler, deals with the phenomenon of astral travel while introducing us to the psychology of ancient Egypt, the Qabalah and the Nordic culture, and not only from an academic point of view, but also from techniques that enable each person to learn for themselves the art of astral projection.
The book is divided into three parts: a historical and mythological presentation of the astral projection, a practice-oriented curriculum, and a compilation of experiences. The objective of this book is to make the reader an experienced traveler.
