Preface

I was amazed, and highly flattered, when asked to write this preface. I

knew Jan only slightly, though my wife (Nema) had been correspond-

ing with him for some years. But, in the three days since I had met him

in the flesh I had seen sides of him at work and at play that I have seen

in few others. I would like to think that he had seen the same in me.

He is my brother.

I was unsure what to say at first. I wanted to share with the readers

the wild, unfettered spirit that leaped and danced on our English tour.

But I decided that that was impossible.

1 can say that Jan represents, to me, a model of a modern magician,

one that would capture the fancy of Aleister Crowley, were he alive

today. For Jan is doing original research, exploring new pathways, not

content to repeat the work of generations gone by. More important,

he is communicating the results of his work in a highly readable and

entertaining form.

This book is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it is

Pan-Aeonic. That is, it draws on a variety of sources using a variety of

Aeonic formulae (See Cincinnati journal number seven for more on Pan-

Aeonic Magick). Jan's main emphasis draws on the most ancient

shamanic techniques of paleolithic Europe. The difference between

this book and other shamanic texts is that Jan does not hold himself just

to traditional teachings. He includes techniques from Crowley and

even more modern writers. He also analyses Magick in terms of the

most recent psychological models.

Second, nothing is (overly) sacred to Jan. He has maintained an

ability to laugh that has been ground out of many Magicians by the time

they have reached his level of awareness. The attitude of playfulness

that Jan projects, even in writing, makes reading this book a true

delight.

Third, Jan has an attitude of skepticism. He does not consider

himself the final authority on anything. He dares the reader to find new

and better methods that he has never considered. If you prefer to

practise rote exercises as taught by a perfect master, find another book.
