About this title

From the Author

Maat Magick is a path of personal transformation.

Magick transcends the ability of organized religions to unite the soul with God, as it is an individual endeavor of direct experience, unmediated by an official priesthood, and independent of dogma, doctrine, and dependency on faith. Magick's initiations provide you with experience--not hear- say--and with knowledge instead of faith.

Maat Magick is a form of, and a continuation of, Thelemic Magick. Based on the formula of Love under Will, Thelema was presented to the world by Aleister Crowley in the first half of the 20th century; its purpose--to destroy the corruption and decay brought about by the old formula of the Dying God. Maat Magick provides the next step, transforming the ashes and rubble of that destruction into a world society built on a new type of human.

The rituals of Maat Magick are designed for the individual though they may be adapted for group work. Nema leads the reader from the familiarity of physical reality through the uncharted transphysical realm and into truths that defy description. Maat Magick shows that you are your own best source for guidance and wisdom.

About the Author

Nema and World War II were born in September 1939; history has grown increasingly more complex ever since.

Her formal education occurred in parochial schools, a convent boarding school, and at the College of Mount St. Joseph near Cincinnati, Ohio, where she received a B.A. in English.

In her search for transmundane knowledge and understanding, she has relied on her experiences, and on those of her colleagues, with vision trances, unlearned knowledge, and spiritual ecstasy, interpreted through traditional theories, practices and beliefs.

Inspired by a document received in vision trance, Liber Pennae Praenumbra (first published in the Cincinnati Journal of Ceremonial Magick (CJCM), edited by Louis Martinie), Nema wrote Maat Magick: a Guide to Self-Initiation (Samuel Weiser, Inc., 1995) to present her version of magickal Initiatory processes and progress. Her teachers were the writings of several experienced authors in the Western occult tradition: Aleister Crowley, Dion Fortune, Kenneth Grant, Frater Achad, Israel Regardie, and a few others.
