Plans for the Journey

[ecosophia]

As I think most of my readers are aware by now, I'll be in England for the first week or so of June -- in London from Monday the 2nd to Thursday the 5th, and then traveling to Glastonbury from then until Monday the 9th. I have a couple of details to pass on, a few remaining scraps of scheduling to work out, and also a couple of not-quite-unrelated announcements. 

I will be doing two booksignings while in London. The first is at Watkins Bookshop on Tuesday, June 3 at 5 pm, where I'll be releasing my new book The Way of the Secret Temple, the third instructional volume in the Golden Section Fellowship sequence, covering the advanced methods of the Fellowship's system of self-initiation. Details on the booksigning can be found here. 

The second is the next evening at Atlantis Books, where I'll be launching a second new book -- Revisioning the Tree of Life. This is the first-ever booklength exploration of the Cabala I learned from my teacher John Gilbert. It's a complete manual of Cabalistic meditation, pathworking, and magic, with techniques that as far as I know have never been published anywhere. Details on the booksigning can be found here. 

So it's going to be a lively time. In the meantime, I've made sure to have plenty of room in my schedule for readers and students of my books who happen to be in London on the 2nd and 3rd; from the time I arrive at Heathrow at 7 in the morning on the 2nd until the afternoon of the 3rd, I'm pretty much footloose and fancy free. Let me know if you'd like to get together during any of that window of time. I'll also have some free time in Glastonbury, but that's going to be much more of a catch-as-catch-can matter. (On the other hand, if anyone's driving back from Glastonbury to or past London on Monday the 9th, and has a spare seat, please let me know.) 

Finally, let's talk a little about those books. The Way of the Secret Temple is available for preorder now, and will be actually in print by the time I reach England, in paperback and hardback editions -- if you intend to do the work, I recommend the hardback, since you'll be putting a year of hard use into your copy. You can order a copy here. 

Revisioning the Tree of Life is also available for preorder, with a bonus -- use the code RTL20 when you order and it's 20% off. It won't actually be out until September but orders are being taken now. You can place an order for your copy here. 

Finally, I'm delighted to report that my book on the Merlin legend as the foundation for a set of mystery initiations, which was dropped by its original publisher, will be back in print under the title I wanted -- Merlin's Wheel -- and in a greatly revised and expanded edition, which includes full instructions for practicing it using the ritual methods of the Golden Section Fellowship and the Fellowship of the Hermetic Rose as well as those of the Druidical Order of the Golden Dawn. I'm very pleased by this new edition and I think you will be too. It'll be out in October, but it's also available for preorder now, and if you use the code MW20 when you order it's also 20% off. 

So there you have it. This spring has shaped up to be a very busy and successful time for me and I hope it's the same for you and yours. I'll look forward to seeing some of you in England in a few weeks!

If I knew someone who had a deepwater cruising sailboat and was planning on sailing that way, I'd happily do that, not for any kind of performative thing but simply because it sounds like a whale of a lot of fun. Regrettably, I don't. I wish the freighter-passenger system would get back up and running again!

It would be cool to take the Queen Mary 2 or something to England sometime... but that's expensive, though I know some hackers who worked out a way to get on their more cheaply, but that was awhile ago now.

Congratulations on all three books. Delighted to see the Merlin's Wheel is able to be used with GSF... I was always curious about that title.

Wishing you & everyone you get to meet a wonderful time.
