Ophiel's Biography (Books)

To Authors Index

Ophiel ( Edward c. Peach ) was an occultist and teacher, who taught and wrote about esotericism and the occult 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.

I have read most of ophiel's books several times, many years ago, and though his style is somewhat unusual, he delivers his message quite clearly.

Ophiel gained his knowledge through experiments and practical work. He said that because he was not a member of any group or fraternity, he was not sworn to secrecy, and therefore could reveal all the secrets and laws concerning the occult and magic, the subjects about which he wrote.

Ophiel books:


# The art and practice of creative visualization
# The art and practice of astral projection
# The art and practice of caballa magic
# The art and practice of the occult
# The art and practice of clairvoyance
# The art and practice of contacting the demiurge
# Tarot: mirror of the soul
# Art and practice of talismanic magic
# Oracle of Fortuna
# The art and practice of getting material things through creative visualization

It is interesting to note that Ophiel is the name given to the spirit of Mercury, one of the Olympic spirits. He is the teacher of magical arts and is able to convert quicksilver into the Philosophers Stone.

I tried to find some more information about Ophiel, but could not find any.

Ophiel died in San Francisco in 1988, at the age of 84.
