A one year course for students of the occult in their quest for wisdom, revelation and enlightenment. In the third volume of his popular series of textbooks for students of the Western mystery tradition, John Michael Greer conducts training for a self-taught course for students to advance to the third degree of the Golden Section Fellowship. Building on the lessons and meditations of The Way of the Golden Section and The Way of the Four Elements, Greer presents an accessible guide for students to comprehend and access more of their own inner capabilities, bringing them closer to - and allowing them to experience for themselves - the transcendent spiritual realities at the heart of things. Drawing on teachings from the Universal Gnostic Church, American occult teachings, and temple tradition, The Way of the Secret Temple is divided into seven circles of studies and practices, each taking at least a month to complete. The Way of the Secret Temple is the third step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.
