A one year course for students of the occult to expand their horizons through the study of fire, air, water, and earth.
Based on an ancient understanding of the cycles of nature, John Michael Greer invites students of occult to continue their training with the study of the four elements
The four elements are one of the foremost themes of Western occult tradition and have been used across history as a basic template for the process of initiation, and seasonal ritual.
The book assigns each element to each of the four seasons of the year it is traditionally associated with and is intended to be worked through in sync with those seasons. There is no fixed starting point, and students can begin with any of the four elements by starting at whatever season begins next.
Each chapter includes both theory and practice ranging from symbols and teachings relating to the elements, suggestions for further reading, to exercises for awakening the etheric senses and astral clairvoyance.
The Way of the Four Elements is the quintessential next step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills learnt in their magical education.
