Occultism is a set of teachings about the things we experience in the world but not through the five material senses. The Way of the Golden Section is a manual for self-initiation into a tradition of occult study and practice, and into the Golden Section Fellowship. It explores the long heritage of occultism and reframes its teachings in a way that is suited to students of today.
