CLIFF DUNNING
About this episode
A one year course for students of the occult in their quest for wisdom, revelation and enlightenment.In the third volume of his popular series of textbooks for students of the Western mystery tradition, John Michael Greer conducts training for a self-taught course for students to advance to the third degree of the Golden Section Fellowship.Building on the lessons and meditations of The Way of the Golden Section and The Way of the Four Elements, Greer presents an accessible guide for students to comprehend and access more of their own inner capabilities, bringing them closer to – and allowing them to experience for themselves – the transcendent spiritual realities at the heart of things.Drawing on teachings from the Universal Gnostic Church, American occult teachings, and temple tradition, The Way of the Secret Temple is divided into seven circles of studies and practices, each taking at least a month to complete. Students embarking on this course will become proficient in working with sacred geometry in temple design, using palm centres to heal and bless, fulfilling the duties of each of the five minor orders of the Universal Gnostic Church, and will develop their skills of communing with the spirits of the elements – as well as much more!The Way of the Secret Temple is the third step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.

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, the Martinist Order, and three Druid traditions, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years. He is also the author of seventeen fantasy and science fiction novels and ten nonfiction books on peak oil and the future of industrial society. He lives in Rhode Island and blogs weekly on politics, magic, and the future at www.ecosophia.net.
