A survey of the magical view of time beginning almost three thousand years ago in Ancient Greece, taking in Pythagoras, Plato, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Qabalah, Enochian magick, the Golden Dawn, Thelema and Crowley, Kenneth Grant, Maat magick, Chaos magic and the newest eschatology on the block: the 2012 myth. I attempt to uncover and reinstate the purpose of the magical view of time, and to present exactly what the study of Aeonics has to say about our current situation and what we can expect to occur in the not-too-distant future.
