This edition is strictly limited to only 200 signed copies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composer Richard Wagner wrote the most influential ‘magickal’ version of the quest for the Holy Grail which he titled Parsifal. Frater Achad (Charles Stansfeld Jones 1886-1950), a Magister Templi 8=3 in Aleister Crowley’s A.’.A.’., published his unique understanding of this play in a book titled The Chalice of Ecstasy (1923).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchad interpreted Wagner’s Parsifal from a Thelemic point-of-view, showing the original story akin to an A.’.A.’.Adept’s journey from a beginner or Probationer 0=0 to crossing the Abyss and becoming a Magister Templi 8=3 using as examples the writings of Aleister Crowley and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new edition has a lengthy preface by J. Edward Cornelius, also Magister Templi in the A.’.A.’., explaining the Wagnerian Grail mythos and why Achad’s book is so important. Unfortunately Achad gives no sources to the dozens upon dozens of quotes throughout his book, nor does he explain many of his obscure terms, but Cornelius identifies all and adds almost ninety footnotes which help illuminate the spiritual journey portrayed in this classic Thelemic text. For Adepts desiring to climb the Qabalistic Tree of Life, this book is a must for your library.\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Media Mail Shipping within the U.S.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship all International orders via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/\"\u003ePriority Post\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eShipping discounts available on combined orders!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeedless to say, prices are subject to change without notice.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe strive to ensure quality and satisfaction with every book sold.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eYour privacy is very important to us!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe ship our items discreetly with no occult references on the package.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo view our Return Policy, Privacy Policy and\/or Terms and Conditions, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/the-legal-stuff\/\"\u003eclick here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Star Magick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67709556064501,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/9201\/4325\/files\/IMG_9930.jpg?v=1792098957","url":"https:\/\/darkstarmagick.com\/products\/the-chalice-of-ecstasy-limited-edition","provider":"Dark Star Magick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
