Hermetic Qabalah Initiation Workbook - Oliver St John

This is the companion volume to "Hermetic Qabalah - A Foundation in the Art of Magick," and is a complete course of practical instruction in magick. The practical work in this book is based upon systematic meditations upon the paths of the Hermetic Tree of Life following the downward course of the Lightning Flash from Kether to Malkuth. Through a one-year course of practical instruction the student learns how to create an astral double as a medium for forging the inner plane contacts that alone make real Initiation a possibility. The preliminary work includes the Wisdom of Breath, Ritual Sonics, the Assumption of the Godform and a powerful, modern variation of the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram, as suitable for the New Aeon. Once these techniques are mastered, the student moves, step-by-step, to an advanced Hermetic magical operation.
