The Occult Philosophy Workbook
Oct. 19th, 2022 02:01 pm
I'm pleased to announce a new book of mine just out from Aeon Books: The Occult Philosophy Workbook, a companion volume to The Way of the Golden Section and The Sacred Geometry Oracle. It's a good solid introduction to classic occult philosophy, meant (ahem) to train the mind rather than to inform it, and it's designed to give the student a yearlong course of study in occult philosophy Here's the blurb: "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 Workbook is a must-have introduction to the concepts and teachings of contemporary Western occultism and can be read as an accompaniment to Greer’s previous book, The Way of the Golden Section." 
This volume is one of three workbooks on occult themes -- the second is currently in preparation -- that belong to a set of seven books in all, setting out a complete system of contemporary occult training based on the classic occultism of a century ago. It's the klnd of instruction and education you'd expect to get back in the day from a good occult correspondence course, but I'm releasing it in book form so that it's much more accessible than the old courses are. As presently conceived, there will be three books of practical instruction -- The Way of the Golden Section, The Way of the Four Elements (which is at the publisher), and The Way of the Secret Temple -- and three workbooks -- The Occult Philosophy Workbook, The Earth Mysteries Workbook, and The Sacred Geometry Workbook -- along with The Sacred Geometry Oracle, the symbolic linchpin of the system. Interested? In the US, you can order a copy here; elsewhere, your best bet is the publisher's website here.
