Synopsis

This book's primary focus is an understanding of the change to the formulas of Initiation brought about by the advent of the New Aeon--the Aeon of the Child--in 1904. It draws deeply from Jungian psychology, world mythology and religion, the teachings of Aleister Crowley, and the doctrines of the Mystery traditions. It explains how the revelations unique to this stage of human evolution impact the work of the individual aspirant. Much of what is written here is revealed for the first time, with every attempt to do so in clear and precise language.
