Hermetic Qabalah Foundation—Complete Course - Oliver St. John

Herein is the key to spiritual alchemy, magick and yoga: the Tree of Life is seeded in the astrosome of the magician so the rituals and practices are a gateway to true knowledge. The Qabalah is the basis for the traditional sciences of meditation, magick, astrology and tarot, including the art of gematria, talismans, invocation and evocation, the pentagram and hexagram, symbolic weapons, the sphere of sensation and the astral plane. All this is seamlessly integrated with the one-year practical coursework through ritual meditations upon the paths. Preliminary work includes the Wisdom of Breath, Ritual Sonics, Assumption of the Godform and a variant form of the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram. The student then moves, step-by-step, towards creation of an astral double or counterpart for forging the inner plane contacts that make real initiation possible.
