The Earth Mysteries Workbook
Aeon Books Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-80152-150-5 (ISBN)
The Earth Mysteries Workbook invites readers to embark on a journey to understand and restore the ancient enchantments of the land, as well as continuing to train the minds and spirits of those engaged in magical study.
The book follows forty-eight lessons which span the course of one year. It is not intended to be read cover to cover; instead readers should take a lesson a week, each of which provides material for thought, study and meditation. Each week is divided into seven numbered paragraphs to be used as themes for the week’s daily meditation. The lessons include an introduction to the earth mysteries and natural philosophy, exploration of different sites across the earth, myths and legends, phenomena and much more.
This fourth instalment of John Michael Greer's instructional workbook for members of the Golden Section Fellowship, presents the scholarship of earth mysteries as a fundamental discipline of occult studies and as a spiritual discipline. Greer situates the mysteries of the land as intrinsically linked to occult studies, as they challenge the modern paradigm which ignores and belittles the sacred knowledges of ancient times, sharing a belief in the importance of the past in understanding the subtle and spiritual dimensions of the earth.
This book can be read as an accompaniment to Greer’s previous titles, The Way of the Golden Section, The Occult Philosophy Workbook and The Way of the Four Elements.
John Michael Greer is the award-winning author of more than fifty books, including 'The New Encyclopedia of the Occult', 'The Druidry Handbook', 'The Celtic Golden Dawn', and 'Circles of Power: An Introduction to Hermetic Magic'. An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife Sara. Greer is also the author of seventeen fantasy and science fiction novels and ten nonfiction books on peak oil and the future of industrial society, and also blogs weekly on politics, magic, and the future at www.ecosophia.net.
