In the dark and brooding firmament of occult literature and media, Lon Milo DuQuette is a star of unique and exceptional brilliance. Although he takes the subjects of Magick, Qabalah and the Western spiritual traditions very seriously, he tries to remember not to take himself too seriously. This rare combination of common sense and self-effacing humor has in the last 20 years secured him a unique and highly respected position in the world of esoteric literature. Hailed by critics as the most entertaining author in the field, (His style has been compared to that of Mark Twain and Robert Benchley.) his books, seminars and radio and television appearances evoke from his audiences a curious mixture of laughter, terror, and wonderment.

 


Lon Milo DuQuette's magical credentials are impeccable. Since 1975 he has served as a national and international administrative officer of Ordo Templi Orientis, one of the most influential and controversial magical societies of the 20th century. He is an acknowledged authority on the life and magical work of Aleister Crowley, the O.T.O.’s most celebrated and notorious leader, and since 1994 has served as the Order’s United State Deputy Grand Master.

DuQuette has authored numerous magical texts including Enochian Vision Magick, The Magick of Aleister Crowley, Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot, and Angels, Demons, and Gods of the New Millennium, but without question his most popular work is the story of his own life as a practicing ceremonial magician, My Life with the Spirits. Futurist and best-selling author Robert Anton Wilson calls it;

“…the best all-around introduction to Western Occultism -- sane, sensible, down-to-earth and wonderfully witty.”

He is often called upon to appear on radio and television to comment authoritatively on matters pertaining to the Western Mystery traditions and matters of the occult. He travels extensively world-wide and speaks on a broad range of esoteric topics including Qabalah and the Tarot. ’

He is married (42 years) to Constance DuQuette (his high-school sweetheart), an accomplishment he considers his greatest magical achievement. They have one son, Jean-Paul who is now 37 and thinks his parents are “cool, but a bit weird.”

WORDS OF PRAISE

"A book I wish I wrote – Enochian Vision Magick" may be DuQuette's finest book to date and his greatest contribution to modern students of magic in general and Enochian in particular. Looking at the core texts and using them in context, DuQuette provides a framework for working the various Enochian systems in a fashion similar to, if not identical, to the work undertaken by Dee and Kelly. Endorsements from Richard Kaczinski, Geoffrey James and Stephen Skinner round out the echoing applause of Clay Holden's Foreword. This is a book every student of Enochian will use and refer to.”
-- Mark Stavish, The Institute for Hermetic Studies; Director for Research for the Occult Research and Applications Project

“This has to be the best practical book on magick ever published! …What is so unique about this book and Lon's genius is that he has taken the magick of Dr John Dee and for the first time, applied it in the way no other person has so far. He has discovered the secret of the magical system of Dr. Dee.”
-- John A. DeSalvo, Ph.D., Director of the Great Pyramid at Giza Research Association

“Lon's book creates a bridge between, and a synthesis of, the divergent "Dee Purist" and "G.D./Crowley" schools of Enochian magick….Lon's clear, cogent and friendly writing style makes this brain-buster of a subject actually come alive and make you want to head for the workshop to start building traditional equipment.”
-- Carroll R. (Poke) Runyon, Author (The Book of Solomon’s Magic); Film maker (Beyond Lemuria)
