'The Work of the Hierophant' covers methods of reaching for inner magical lines of contact and power, and how to bring them through into initiatory/consecrated lines. The book also looks in depth at the methods of building the inner temple and the egregore. The techniques in this book explore alternative ways for the Hierophant/Magus/Magister to approach the inception and development of a fully contacted magical lodge. The structure behind the magical technique is looked at, and approached in a way that is more harmonious with our 21st century consciousness.

Just like all the other books by Josephine. I love how all the books complement each other. Definitely read The Magical Knowledge Trilogy and The Exorcist's Handbook so that you get a clear picture of certain thing mentioned. Unless you are a true adept, of course.
