NEW BOOK: A Formless Fire by Ike Baker
Tria Prima is proud to publish our fourth book A Formless Fire: Rediscovering the Magical Traditions of the West by our friend Ike Baker. It’s now avaliable on our Inprint Store: Tria Prima Press.
Scholar, content creator, lecturer, and practicing occultist Ike Baker’s debut work, A Formless Fire: Rediscovering the Magical Traditions of the West, offers readers an unparalleled journey through the depths of Western esoteric traditions. Blending rigorous scholarship with insights honed from decades of practice, Baker meticulously examines the intricate history, theory, and practice of ceremonial magic, astrology, tarot, geomancy, and alchemy – from antiquity to the present day.
Beyond the arts, A Formless Fire provides an in-depth exploration of influential spiritual movements and esoteric societies such as Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, Martinism, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This comprehensive yet accessible volume is a groundbreaking blend of academic rigor and practical insight, offering readers a balanced and enriched perspective of the esoteric philosophies and spiritual arts that have shaped history.
Baker’s adept narrative guides readers through a historical journey, revealing the transmission of esoteric philosophies and spiritual arts via rituals and secret teachings administered by Western initiatory societies. The foreword is by renowned Masonic author and astrologer Jaime Paul Lamb, and complemented by practical appendices featuring Baker’s expert commentary, A Formless Fire is an essential addition to the library of both serious esoteric scholars and budding practitioners.
