Kabbalah, Magic and the Great Work of Self-transformation : A Complete Course

Magic is the art of transformation. According to Lyam Thomas Christopher, advancing to higher levels of magic requires an exalted state of conscious - a spiritual transformation. Based on Kabbalistic techniques and teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Christopher presents a step-by-step program toward spiritual attainment. Beginning with the Neophyte Grade and concluding with an examination of the Adeptus Minor Grade, this course guides readers through each level of the Golden Dawn system of ritual magic. Each grade corresponds with a sphere in the Kabbalah Tree of Life and includes daily rituals, required reading, written assignments, projects and additional exercises. This modern curriculum also introduces the history of the Golden Dawn and its mythology, the Tree of Life, Deities, demons, rules for practicing magic and components of effective ritual.
