Intended to train and stimulate the mind, this book aims to open readers up to unfamiliar ways of thinking through various new techniques and challenges, such as discursive meditation, awareness exercises and affirmation.
This thought-provoking book was not written simply to be read cover-to-cover in one sitting: it is instead a stimulating and well-crafted raw material for occult studies and readers are encouraged to read the 52 lessons across an entire year.
Throughout the book, students will be taught through four in-depth and engaging modules: The Planes of Being, Spiritual Evolution Cycles of Life and Death and The Way of Occultism and will exit the year with a solid foundation in occultism, preparing them for more advanced future study.
The Occult Philosophy Workbookis a must-have introduction to the concepts and teachings of contemporary Western occultism and can be read as an accompaniment to Greers previous book,The Way of the Golden Section.
