Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Between the Gates is a manual of self-initiation and liberation that takes the student through the basic methods of experiencing dream states and conscious astral projection, to the ultimate culmination of consciousness—the creation of the Body of Light.

Between the Gates is for anyone who has ever desired to experience the "afterlife" while still alive, or who has desired to rid themselves of the fear of death. While drawing upon traditional Qabalistic and alchemical sources, the methods presented are applicable to a variety of traditions and schools of thought.

From the book: This book contains all you need to have the direct experience of lucid dreaming, astral projection, and the Body of Light, and rather quickly as well. Focused and dedicated practice will unlock the doors of perception to a series of individual nonmaterial realities within a few months. From these experiences, confidence will be built and sustained, which with concentrated effort, can lead to deep and profound revelation through direct experience of the very nature of life.

Between the Gates functions as an "A to Z" guide to psychic initiation toward higher consciousness, and ultimately, to preparation for the great transition beyond this life and this physical body.

* Stavish is featured in Guy Ritchie's hotly anticipated documentary on the Qabala.

* Features black and white illustrations to further guide the reader to a higher state of awareness.
