'Sacred Encounters' explores the fascinating connections between classical shamanism and the visionary dimensions of modern western magic.
Shamanism is the world's most ancient spiritual tradition and is found among indigenous peoples the world over. However, shamanism also has considerable relevance in the modern urban world as a practical and accessible way of exploring visionary realms of consciousness. It offers us a path to our own mythic Dreamtime, a path to our own inner way of knowing.
In this book Nevill Drury describes in detail the visionary approaches used by the Golden Dawn magicians, Moina Mathers, Aleister Crowley, and describes the unique trance techniques of Austin Osman Spare and the pathworkings of the Servants of the Light.
We all need access to domains of sacred mystery, and we all need pathways to the sacred core of our inner knowing. Shamanism and western magic open us to the source of our visionary awareness and provide us with a way of exploring the deepest and most profound dimensions of our infinite being.
