On Thursday October 16th the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will

present an advance review on his forthcoming book Hermetic Yoga Beyond

the Middle Pillar this is a new offering from CHS/OTA that has been a

long-time in the works. The yoga system described and brought to life in

this book has been practiced by the O.T.A. since 1975 and is an

extension of Israel Regardie's Golden Dawn Middle Pillar exercise

following the Lightning flash going down the spheres from Kether to

Malkuth forming a complete straight line chakra system similar to the

Hidhu system of Laya Yoga, In this case the Spheres of the Tree of Life

are the planets within. this system traces its origin to two German

Rosicrucian mystics Jacob Bohme and Johann Gitchel. The late Frederick

Adams of Feraferia was also working on a similar system and an essay of

his is included Adams also provided the beautiful cover art depicting a

Goddess in the stars. Also included is an essy by Frater Osiris (Michael

S. Downs) linking Hermetic Yoga to The Chemical wedding of Christian

Rosencrutz via Johann Gitchel' s spiral path of the planets in his

natural man drawing which is one of the keys to the Hermetic Yoga

conception. The book will be followed with a deck of Yoga cards which

will enable the practitioner to carry the system in his pocket for

meditation and study. This is going to be a great aid to magick and

spiritual development and provides a vital resource that Western

magicians have needed for centuries. Now we can call on the Gods within

and exercise all of the powers that our oriental colleagues have called

upon for centuries. So if you want to get a head start on the latest

magical tools of empowerment tune in and we'll start warming up for the

session.
