TRAINING COURSES
and Seminars
| The
Way of the Mysteries
This is a ten lesson, supervised course written and illustrated by Mike Harris ,encapsulating some thirty years of training and teaching in the lodges of the Western Mystery Tradition. The course centres on the traditional disciplines of western magic and associated subjects like Qabalah, Celtic/Arthurian lore, mystery practices of the ancient Middle East, Faerie lore and Star lore. But alongside this we have included themes ranging from practical self development and spirituality to the significance of prehistoric sacred sites. The course is extensively illustrated , as we believe that (in the tradition of William Blake) pictorial images sometimes fire the psyche more readily than do words alone. Whilst the course is primarily geared to those who seek to serve with the Company of Avalon, it will well equip anyone who aspires to serve in any lodge of the Western Tradition or indeed as a lone initiate. Successful completion of the course earns the student a registered certificate which recognises the attainment of the First Degree in the Western Mystery Tradition. As a first degree initiate the student is then entitled to apply for membership of the Company of Avalon, with a view to attending meetings and participating in some of the group's work. Practical instruction in ritual and other magical technique is offered at such meetings and by correspondence, giving the student the opportunity of full initiation and dedicated service to the Mysteries. |

The
Way of the Mysteries Course is offered on computer CD in universally
readable PDF format. Students will receive individual support and
supervision by email and/or post. Whilst the student may work at his
or her own pace, we generally find that the course takes most people about
a year to complete. The lessons cost �20 sterling each and are sent two
at a time (�40 sterling)to ensure continuity. A final paper, the
completion test for the certificate, is sent separately at the end of the
course at a cost of �20. We accept most major credit cards, UK sterling
cheques and international money orders. You need only purchase one
book for the course, which is The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune,
everything else you'll need is within the lessons (and of course within
YOU! ) However, as this course involves INDIVIDUAL, PERSONAL tuition, we
may suggest further, optional reading from time time.

| The Way of Initiation |
| We are a
working lodge and therefore seek to recruit and train men and women of
good will, with an aptitude for service in the Mysteries, to ensure the
future continuity of the Company of Avalon's work. With this in mind,
membership of the Company of Avalon and advanced training in the
magical arts is available to those who have completed our Way of the
Mysteries course.

NOTICE JANUARY 2005
THIS SCHOOL
TEACHES SOME QABALAH (also spelt Kaballah) IN LINE WITH THE INSIGHTS OF THE WESTERN
MYSTERY TRADITION. OUR METHODS AND TEACHING HAVE NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO
WITH THOSE OF
"KABALLAH CENTRE" WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
TRUE SPIRIT OF QABALAH (in any of its traditions). OUR INSTRUCTION DOES
NOT INVOLVE RED STRING , SPECIAL WATER OR OTHER GIMMICKS , COMMERCIALISATION OR
"CULT" IDEALOLOGY.. ALL OF WHICH WE CONSIDER TO BE ABSOLUTELY
CONTRARY TO THE TRUE SPIRIT OF QABALAH
