About the Lecture:

Dr. David Shoemaker is recognized as a leading expert on the A.'.A.'., the system of personal and spiritual development created by Aleister Crowley, and is known for his entertaining and down- to-earth explanations of such arcane subjects as ceremonial magick, Qabalah, and raja yoga. In this lecture, David will discuss the major training "tracks" within the A.'.A.'., and show how they develop across the First Order Grades, culminating with the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.
