    Dear Colin,

    >> Fasting is mentioned over 40 times in the bible. In various books
    written on the Hermetic sciences, it has been suggested that before
    performing certain rituals, it is essential to fast for up to 9 days. I
    cannot find any reference to fasting in FB materials - did he not
    consider it a worthwhile practice? <<

    To understand why Bardon does not recommend fasting for magical
    purposes, we must first examine the goal of fasting as a magical
    practice. Its primary purpose is to diminish the Earth Element within
    the three bodies. The Earth Element is what holds the three bodies
    together, so when you diminish the Earth Element, it is easier to
    separate the three bodies, most especially the mind or mental body. In
    other words, fasting is used as a method to increase the magician's
    mental focus.

    For the Bardon-trained magician, this is not necessary. The work of IIH
    trains the mental powers to such a degree that the astral and physical
    bodies do not pose a barrier. Furthermore, if such an imbalance of the
    Earth Element were necessary, the Bardon-trained magician could directly
    manipulate the Elements in the three bodies and immediately achieve the
    same result as would be achieved by several days of fasting. Plus, the
    Bardon-trained magician would be able to reverse this imbalance just as
    quickly;whereas, by employing fasting, one faces several days of
    recovery to regain their Elemental balance.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
