Occult Medicine and Practical Magic

The Ancient Medical Wisdom of Gnosis

The medical knowledge preserved by the Lamas of Tibet and the Mamas of the Sierra Nevada demonstrate with undeniable force the limitations of modern medicine and the value of returning to ancient medical wisdom.

Samael Aun Weor, founder of the International Gnostic Movement and author of more than sixty books, lived for many years in close contact with the mysterious natives of the Sierra Nevada of South America. He and his wife Litelantes compiled and verified the knowledge they had been given by the priests and doctors of that region, and supplemented it with their own spiritual wisdom, resulting in this book Occult Medicine and Practical Magic. Firmly grounded in the medicine of Paracelsus, Galen, Tibetan tantras, and more, this practical manual gives hundreds of techniques and practices to awaken consciousness, perform healing for oneself and others, and return to the core medical knowledge of the ages. This work features treatments for an incredible variety of illnesses and conditions, such as cancer, asthma, the common cold, and leprosy.

Originally published in Spanish as "Tratado de Medicina Oculta y Magia Practica" (1952; revised 1977).
