Originally published in 1975, Experience of the Inner Worlds is a classic magical textbook of the Western Mystery Tradition.

Covering a wide range of topics within a Christian-oriented Qabalistic framework, Gareth Knight explains the difference between magic and mysticism, natural and revealed religion, monism and theism. He also covers the practicalities, examining methods of inner plane communication, contact with the Masters, the ‘consciousness’ approach of Carl Jung, the vision of Dante and the archetypal power of the Hebrew alphabet – all within the context of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. The book also contains powerful visualisation exercises and examples of communication with angelic and elemental contacts.

While this book can be used as a course of self-instruction, it is also an important modern reference book of magical theory and practice, and has been used for decades by students of Western Qabalah and magic.

Amazon customer review:

"Gareth Knight provides a welcome change from the "me too" New Age books that populate the shelves of most popular book stores. In Experience of the Inner Worlds, he provides a thorough explanation of Western mysticism and magic, including interesting historical, mythical and religious background for the concepts presented.

The book approaches the occult from a Christian perspective, although many will argue that such a thing is not possible. As one progresses through the book, however, it becomes clear that this provides a solid, and therefore critical, foundation for all of the ideas presented. All but the most ardent anti-Christians will appreciate this book, though, since Knight draws on a wide variety of belief systems to make his points.

Like many New Age books, Experience of the Inner Worlds includes exercises for the student to perform. These are not empty rituals which are only provided to make the reader feel that he got his money's worth. They are practical exercises which are presented in such a way that the student can build on what he has already learned. Much work is left to the student, and it is nearly impossible to perform the exercises without learning something beyond what is contained in the book.

For the serious, open-minded student of the occult who wants to cut through the fluff, this book is required reading."
