Plans for the Journey

Glastonbury TorAs 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

book 3The 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

cabalaSo 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

wheel, dammitRevisioning 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. You can place an order for your copy here

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!

Planning for Glastonbury

glastonbury abbeyAs many of my British and European readers will recall, I will be in Glastonbury, England on June 6-8 of next year, and the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms are being rented for two of those days to provide a venue for us to meet and hang out. One of my regular readers from Spain, Guillem, is an Essene Master Teacher and contacted me to let me know that he's interested in giving attunements that weekend. It occurs to me that there may be other Essene Master Teachers putting in an appearance, and there may also be people who expect to be far enough along in their studies for the Universal Gnostic Church priesthood to receive ordination by then.

So, before we get too close to the date and scheduling becomes difficult, let's start the discussion. Are there any Essene Master Teachers planning to come to the event, other than Guillem and myself? Also, are attendees more interested in just hanging out and having informal conversations, or is there anything I should teach or speak about? Inquiring Druids want to know.

One other detail -- there will be a book signing event in London the week before all this happens, with the release of a new title of mine. Stay tuned for more info!

Two dates for the calendar

GlastonburyA couple of dates for readers of mine to be aware of.

First, if you happen to be in or near Providence, RI on June 22, 2024, the 7th annual Ecosophia midsummer potluck will be held at the house of Peter Van Erp, right across the street from the Charles Dexter Ward house in Providenc.e. (I can't promise that Charles or Lydia will put in an appearance, but here's hoping!) Details and signup sheet are here, and whoever's coming from furthest away has a room waiting in Peter's house.

Second, an Ecosophian gathering is being arranged in Glastonbury, England, on June 6-8 of 2025 -- yes, a little over a year from now -- and I'll be there. Current plans are for a ramble through the historic sites on the 6th, followed by two days of talks and discussions at the Glastonbury Assembly Rooms; tickets for the whole shebang will be around £50-£60. For more information or to register, you can contact Bridge at ecosophianconvention at gmail.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at one or the other -- or both!
