The UnderWorld Initiation

"An intriguing book which would stand many readings" —Circles

"Provides a unique insight into the initiatory path of the Western esoteric system" —Prediction

"Something of a minor classic... I would recommend it unhesitatingly to anyone interested in the Celtic, Pagan way"— Aquarian Arrow

This stimulating and important study provides evidence for a potent transformative tradition within the esoteric consciousness of the West. Drawing on material from hitherto disregarded sources, RJ. Stewart reconstructs the key to a true understanding of Western esoteric lore, suggesting that the bulk of so-called Western occultism is an intellectual fabrication derived mainly from nineteenth-century sources. The authentic magical tradition of the west, the author claims, is concerned with the UnderWorld Initiation, a powerful system of altering consciousness in a dynamic and far-reaching manner, the central symbols of which survive in songs and ballads whose roots are in the Celtic and pre-Celtic past.

Among the subjects covered are:

  • the non-Qabalistic Tree of Life
  • the emasculating role of psychology in esoteric studies
  • the Summoning of Ancestors
  • the Dark Queen and the Seer
  • the Tongue that Cannot Lie
