* Provides practical exercises to reawaken mystical awareness and reconnect with the ancient mystery traditions of our ancestors

* Reveals how earth wisdom and high magic complement one another

In Walkers Between the Worlds, the authors reveal the development of both these traditions that were never far beneath the surface of Western culture and how they complement each other.

As the orthodox structures of the West appear increasingly hollow and irrelevant, the Western way trod by the shaman and the magus remains vital, with many practical methods for reawakening awareness and reconnecting with the earth. In addition to its in-depth theoretical analysis, Walkers Between the Worldscontains practical exercises drawn from traditional teaching methods used by both native and hermetic traditions to help the reader explore these mysteries.
