In the quiet hours of the night, when the external world fades and the whispers of the soul grow louder, there exists an ancient path—a journey of initiation and self-discovery. NOX: A Night Soul Journey Guidebook is an invitation to those who seek not only to explore the depths of Magick but to master the subtle and profound currents that shape the Western Mystery Tradition.

​

This guidebook, crafted by Tim Ozpagan Hartridge, a respected authority in the world of Witchcraft and Magick, offers a gateway to the psychic reality where the true work of the Witch unfolds. Drawing upon decades of experience, Hartridge leads the reader through an intricate tapestry of ritual, archetype, and esoteric knowledge, guiding both novice and adept alike in the art of transcending the mundane and embracing the transformative power of the night.

 

The NOX ritual, which Hartridge began developing in 1983, has since been taught to hundreds of students, evolving into a cornerstone of his teachings. Rooted in Ancient Egyptian mythology and deeply intertwined with Tarot and Qabalistic correspondences, the NOX ritual is more than just a practice; it is an alchemical process that merges the physical with the spiritual, invoking the deep archetypal forces that reside within the psyche.

Structured across four immersive sections, the NOX offers a comprehensive exploration of the tools and techniques essential for the modern practitioner. Readers will find detailed instructions on the creation and consecration of the NOX pantacle, the blending of ritual incense, and the invocation of totemic archetypes, all designed to enhance and elevate their practice. Each chapter is an invitation to delve deeper into the mysteries, offering insights that resonate with both the intellectual and the intuitive.

​

Beyond the rituals and practices, NOX is enriched with essays that delve into the philosophical and spiritual underpinnings of the NOX archetypes, providing a framework for understanding their significance within the broader context of the Western Mystery Tradition. The guidebook also includes an exclusive compendium of ritual-trance music, designed to accompany the practitioner on their journey, weaving sound into the fabric of the ritual experience.

​

NOX: A Night Soul Journey Guidebook is more than a manual; it is a profound exploration of the self and the esoteric traditions that have guided seekers for centuries with many shared direct experiences from students. Hartridge’s work stands as a testament to the enduring power of the great archetype of night, the soul, and the Magick that binds them. For those ready to embark on this journey, NOX offers not just knowledge, but wisdom—a path to awakening the Witch-within and embracing the night as both a teacher and a guide.

​

Tim Ozpagan Hartridge lives in Sydney, Australia, where he continues to teach and conduct workshops in the NOX ritual tradition, sharing the depth and wisdom of this practice with a new generation of seekers. This is a book for the serious student of Magick, a companion for the dedicated practitioner, and a beacon for those who seek to walk the path of the night soul journey with integrity, depth, and purpose.
