The
last
public work
of
yv.
E. Butler before his death in 1978, thi
s
series of talks
offers a
fascinating, personal, and
accessible cours
'
of training in the Western Mystery Schools by
one
of the
world's
great occultists.
With humility, humor,
and conviction,
Butler conveys an
extensiv
knowledge
of
the occult mysteries, including ritual
and ceremoni
al
magic, the
awakening of
the kundalini
energy, and
the path
of
th
'
qabalistic tree
of
life. The overriding
them~
of his lectures
concern
s
regeneration
of
the personality
and
the relinquishing of false
ego
through control
of
one's mental
and
emotional reactions.
Born
at
the turn of the century, W. E. Butler studied in
India
amon
g
Hindu spiritual teachers and
with
the
we
ll-known
mystic
Anni
Besant. In
England,
he worked closely
with
Dion Fortune in th
Society of the Inner Light. Butler is the
author
of numerous works,
including
How to Read the Aura
and
Practice Psychometry, Telepathy,
and
Clairvoyance
(Destiny
Books, 1987).
At
Butler's request,
Lords
of
Light
was
edited
from his Ibis Fraternity
lectures
by his longtime
student
and
friend, M.
A. Geikie.
