The course is also intended for the many readers of R J Stewart's books and for those (who do not read his books) wishing to learn and practice inner work with the Tree of Life in the English language. This material will also make a valuable supplement for experienced Kabbalists within the Western esoteric traditions.

    R J Stewart only offers Tree of Life workshops occasionally, but the repeated requests for more information and material for ongoing practical work has led to this new course.

    R J Stewart first studied Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, and Magical Arts, with W G Gray, an influential writer and teacher, in the late 1960's and early 1970's. He was initiated by W G Gray into the Inner Priesthood, and has developed and sustained much of the pioneering work done by Gray. He works in the spiritual teaching lineage of Western magic as embodied by Dion Fortune, William Gray, Gareth Knight and other, less publicly known, adepts in the Western traditions.

    For over 30 years R J Stewart has explored and expanded the themes of magic and the imagination, esoteric teaching traditions, and primal transformative traditions such as those of the UnderWorld, Celtic ancestral magic, and the Faery Tradition. He has published 36 books, translated worldwide, and has also written and composed music for theater, film, and television, plus a series of recordings for meditation and changing consciousness.

    The year 2000 will see new editions of Living Magical Arts and Advanced Magical Arts, (reprinted by Thoth Publications, UK), R J's seminal books on magic and the imagination originally published in the 1980's.

    This new course, The Tree of Life, Key to Many Worlds expands on the Tree of Life themes in these and in other books by the author.

FEATURES OF THE COURSE

THE COURSE IS MODULAR IN FOUR STAGES

MODULE ONE: Ten Initiatory Lessons on the Spheres and Energies of the Tree of Life, with meditations, visions, and a work program for individual use.

MODULE TWO: The Twenty Two Paths of the Tree of Life, their relationship to human and planetary consciousness, and their practical use in daily life, meditation, and inner transformation.

MODULE THREE: The Tree of Life and the UnderWorld. Only available to those who have completed the previous two modules, this set of lessons explores the Roots of the Tree of Life, the Inverted Tree, and the Sacrificial Tree. The UnderWorld powers of the Tree of Life are potent catalyzing forces that are essential for true spiritual growth, yet many published sources reject or ignore these nourishing roots of the Tree of Life. To fully realize the potential of the Tree of Life, we must work deep within the roots as well as towards the Crown.

MODULE FOUR: The Inner Temples of the Tree of Life. Only available to those who have completed the previous three modules, this advanced material reveals working with the Inner Temples that are inherent upon the Tree of Life, yet often "hidden" from the student, and seldom discussed in modern Kabbalah.
