We don't need to go to Mexico or Tibet to find a guru; far more accessible symbols and archetypes offer equally valid guides to the exploration of inner space.

 

Many seekers after spiritual wisdom have looked to yoga and Eastern religions; others have been deeply influenced by the teachings of Carlos Castaneda's don Juan. Yet whether or not don Juan really existed, we would probably do better to use the Qabalah and Tarot instead as the basis for an essentially Western form of shamanism. In this illuminating book Nevill Drury looks at phenomena ranging from astral projection to drug-induced visions and shows how magicians like Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn have created what he describes as 'the yoga of the West'. Their paths may be very different, but such approaches can attain exactly the same goals as the yogis or the Mexican 'men of knowledge'; for anyone who has been brought up in the Western tradition, this marvellous study of Western ways to enlightenment will prove a revelation and an inspiration.
