Magical States of Consciousness: Pathworking on the Tree of Life (Llewellyn's Inner Guide)

Magical States of Consciousness is a guide to Qabalistic Pathworking, a technique within the practical Qabalah and Western Esoteric Tradition. Written by Osborne Phillips and Melita Denning, the book presents methods for accessing deep dimensions of the human psyche to gain knowledge and creative power. The text guides practitioners in ascending the Tree of Life to reach the Sphere of Tiphareth, the seat of the Higher Self. Through Qabalistic pathworking, readers can train the mind and imagination, improve physical and emotional health, obtain spiritual knowledge and initiation, and experience self-empowerment. Designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners, the book includes complete narrative texts for pathworking journeys and mandalas that function as gateways to altered states of consciousness. These mandalas also present magical images of the Sephirothic archetypes—sources of mystical power that exist both cosmically and within each person's inner being.
