Magical Knowledge Book Three: Contacts of the Adepts (second expanded edition) is the third book of the Magical Knowledge trilogy, a series that takes the reader through the twists and turns of serious magical study and practice. Written by Josephine McCarthy, one of the world’s leading magical adepts, Contacts of the Adepts provides training in the necessary skills, contacts, and adept-level practices for lone practitioners studying Western magic.

This book follows no specific magical path; rather it reveals the layers of consciousness that lie beneath many paths, along with the various techniques, powers, and dynamics that underpin most Western Mystery schools and Western magical systems. Subjects covered include: temples and deities, working with magical utterance, advanced work with angelic beings, working with the Metatron cube, enlivening magical tools, the magical dynamics of fate, the use of magical decoys, the magic of the underworld, plus an essay on the prehistoric roots of magic.

Josephine McCarthy has been teaching Western magical forms in the US and Europe since the early 1990s and has authored numerous books on magic including The Exorcist’s Handbook, Magic of the North Gate, The Book of Gates - a magical translation, and Tarot for the 21st Century. She is also the author and director of the free and extensive self-study magical training course Quareia, which can be found online at www.quareia.com.
