Website

Genre


Donald Tyson is a Canadian from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Early in life he was drawn to science by an intense fascination with astronomy, building a telescope by hand when he was eight. He began university seeking a science degree, but became disillusioned with the aridity and futility of a mechanistic view of the universe and shifted his major to English. After graduating with honors he has pursued a writing career.

Now he devotes his life to the attainment of a complete gnosis of the art of magic in theory and practice. His purpose is to formulate an accessible system of personal training composed of East and West, past and present, that will help the individual discover the reason for one's existence and a way to fulfill it.

Quotes by Donald Tyson  (?)

“The runes are a set of symbols that concisely embody the most potent magical system of the ancient world.”
Donald Tyson, The Truth About Runes

“The yogi
tends to work inwardly, focusing on the body, whereas the magus directs the will
outwardly upon the objects of the greater world. This apparent distinction is misleading,
since inner world and outer world have no dividing boundary, but are an
indivisible universe perceived by a single human mind. The ultimate goal is similar
in both practices-to master the personal universe and yoke it to the higher aspirations.”
Donald Tyson, The Magician's Workbook: Practicing the Rituals of the Western Tradition

“A
human being who has mastered the self cannot be dominated by any other person;
to the contrary, there is a strong tendency for others to seek to emulate and follow
such a master, because they intuitively recognize the value of self-control.”
Donald Tyson, The Magician's Workbook: Practicing the Rituals of the Western Tradition
