Western Inner Workings

Sangreal Sodality Series #1

by William G. Gray

Mr. Gray presents a home-study course in four volume that revives the instrumentality inherent in our western tradition. The series makes available to us, in our own cultural symbolism, a way to enlightenment that we can practice on a daily basis.

Volume 1, Western Inner Workings, provides a practical framework for the western student's development. Each day includes a morning meditation, a mid-day invocation, evening exercises, and a sleep subject. Incorporating symbols that are "close to home," these rituals increase consciousness in comfortable increments.

[Taylor Ellwood · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another excellent by William G. Gray that explores the inner workings of Western Mystery traditions. It's as comprehensive book that explores a number of salient issues, such as sacred kingship, the function of ceremonial tools, mediation and ties all of them together in a way that enables the reader to go deep with Western Mystery traditions, while also developing their own cosmological models. I've found this book to be very useful in some of my own ongoing work and would recommend it as well as Gray's other books to anyone serious about developing their magical practice.

There is so much in this book to work over and ponder. A Classic everyone interested in the "Wesoteric" Tradition (as Gray calls it) ought to study.
