Description

A Treatise on White Magic: Fifteen Rules articulates a disciplined program for the "magical work of the soul," defining white magic as the soul's creative expression through a trained, impersonal mind. Fifteen terse rules, each followed by expository commentary, cover thought-form building, meditative alignment, harmlessness, and the shift from personal effort to group service. Composed within the interwar Theosophical milieu, the book engages contemporary psychology while retaining a technical esoteric vocabulary, framing practice through motifs like "energy follows thought" and the analysis of glamour and illusion. Alice A. Bailey (1880–1949), a British-born esotericist, presented this text as part of a teaching cycle attributed to the Tibetan master Djwhal Khul. After leaving the Theosophical Society, she founded the Lucis Trust and the Arcane School, marrying meditative discipline to organized training, and recasting occultism, amid postwar upheaval, as a psychology of service. This volume will reward readers of Western esotericism, comparative religion, and depth psychology who seek method rather than spectacle. Used as seed-thoughts for contemplative study, its rules offer a durable framework for creative living, ethical responsibility, and group-centered, world-serving work.
