The Solar Way

Om boken

A foundational occult text exploring the philosophy and practice of western esoteric tradition, explored through the 22 arcana of the tarot

One of the lost classics of Western occultism, this book sets out the way of esoteric initiation in 22 steps symbolized by the 22 arcana of the tarot, deeply exploring the philosophy of magic, setting out the essential symbols and concepts of each step on the path of the initiate.

Among the many themes covered in this volume are the nature of the macrocosm, or occult universe; the nature of the microcosm, or individual human being; the inner side of human evolution; the spiritual hierarchies that influence the occult path; the principles of occult initiation; the training of the mind; the rise and fall of religions and societies; the role of gender in occultism; the dangers of black magic; the Path of Liberation.

This work is an essential guide to students of Hermeticism, Martinism, and the Western occult way in general.
