Description

A practical and investigative workbook to explore the timeless enigmas of the land on which we walk

The Earth Mysteries Workbook invites readers to embark on a journey to understand and restore the ancient enchantments of the land, as well as continuing to train the minds and spirits of those engaged in magical study.

The book follows forty-eight lessons which span the course of one year. It is not intended to be read cover to cover; instead readers should take a lesson a week, each of which provides material for thought, study and meditation. Each week is divided into seven numbered paragraphs to be used as themes for the weeks daily meditation. The lessons include an introduction to the earth mysteries and natural philosophy, exploration of different sites across the earth, myths and legends, phenomena and much more.

This third instalment of John Michael Greer's instructional workbook for members of the Golden Section Fellowship, presents the scholarship of earth mysteries as a fundamental discipline of occult studies and as a spiritual discipline. Greer situates the mysteries of the land as intrinsically linked to occult studies, as they challenge the modern paradigm which ignores and belittles the sacred knowledges of ancient times, sharing a belief in the importance of the past in understanding the subtle and spiritual dimensions of the earth.

This book can be read as an accompaniment to Greers previous titles, The Way of the Golden Section and The Occult Philosophy Workbook.
