Ophiels "Art and Practice of..." series

Ophiel (Edward C. Peach) was an occultist who taught and wrote during the 1960 & 70′s. His books focus on the practical side of the occult, and are like a precious gold mine of practical information and instructions.

Ophiel gained his knowledge through experimentation and practical work. He asserted that because he was not a member of any occult organization and not sworn to secrecy, he could reveal all the secrets and laws concerning the occult.

It is widely speculated by many that Edward Peach may have gained most or all of his insight from the namesake he chose to use as his occultist name - the spirit of Mercury Who was also known as 'Ophiel' - one of the Olympic spirits. Suggesting his knowledge may have been directly channeled from the spirit world, which is a recurring theme of practice by many occultists and authors of occult works.

Hi. Thought I was all alone out here. Good to now know otherwise. I agree... "The art and practice..." May indeed be all we actually need. Thanks to Ophiel I am on the path. When I read his work, time stops...

I'm very grateful to have discovered this group. I've studied his work decades ago, but no longer have any of his books. I couldn't even remember his name, I was reminded by a very dear friend..which led me to The Temple Illuminatus..and so on ..and so on...Truly Awesome

Thanks much for all the work on the Group.  I am brand new to the Ophiel material and this is giving me a jump start.

A Youtube video (part one)  which i recorded to show some pictures which were on the copies of The Astral Light newsletter by Mirazel.Mirazel was a former Ophiel student who was working on a Ophiel biography/book which would have been called "The Art and Practice of Ophiel".

My own modest attempt at making the "Oracle of Fortuna" cards.Just to give a rough idea of what the cards look like.I never did the black border around the symbols,as i liked them as you see them but you will have to decide how you yourself like to do your own.

Some envelopes of Ophiel's.I think these are the "sealed lessons" of which Ophiel writes/sold.They held copes of the vignettes.

Comment by Stephen Brewster on November 23, 2011 at 4:03am

Well you now have access at least to Ophiel's stuff online as well as his vignettes,courses etc.It's taken tons of searching and many hands to aqquire these things so it's great when people come along and study/use it.Makes it worthwhile.You can also join the Yahoo Ophiel site.Lots to find there.I am taking a kind of "break" now to sort some other things out so you guys can take the material and see where it leads you.Hope it opens many doors for you.Ste B

 Hey, Stephen....Thanx for the comments. No, I'm really not into "the end of the world scenarios" but really more into "the beginning of everything practices". Yes, everything is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one, depending on our frame of mind at any given moment. A nuclear mushroom in consciousness would be great. Expanding, raising in vibration and frequency, being more awake and aware. Thats the kind of nuclear mushroom I'm talking about. I figure anything is possible. It dosnt hurt to encourage people.

  So, I got my hands on some Ophiel stuff yrs ago. And we just moved to WA from Mississippi last yr and I cant seem to find a lot of my books and materials, probably still in a box under a mountain of stuff. But I'll keep looking. Ive neglected my ceremonial magick practice for some time. Got caught up in the whole tibetan buddhist thing, practices and such. But I'm feeling a pull back in the magick practice direction. So being that nothing is a coincidence I think its real cool I got invited to this group here. Thanx again....Blessings...Blane
