Everyone attempting to work through Franz Bardon's book Initiation into Hermetics will someday face one of two possible outcomes – success or failure. How you use your time in the present will determine which of these outcomes you will ultimately face in the future. In this book, Virgil discusses one of the best uses of time for aspiring magicians – prayer. Through the use of prayer heavenly assistance can be obtained, virtues can be cultivated, and obstacles in one's path can be dissolved by divine grace. My Spear is Lightning is the second book in the "Notes on Prayer" series. Those who enjoyed the first book – My Sword is Fire – and wish to continue their exploration of prayer will find additional insights in this book. By sharing over fifty clear and thought-provoking notes from his journals, Virgil continues to guide Bardonists in adapting the art and science of prayer to handle challenges of the unique path they walk.
