A step-by-step guide to the Tree of Life and the Four Worlds of the
Qabalists. Gray is the foremost authority on magic and the Qabalah.
Thermodynamically constrained averaging theory provides a
consistent method for upscaling conservation and thermodynamic
equations for application in the study of porous medium systems.
The method provides dynamic equations for phases, interfaces, and
common curves that are closely based on insights from the entropy
inequality. All larger scale variables in the equations are
explicitly defined in terms of their microscale precursors,
facilitating the determination of important parameters and
macroscale state equations based on microscale experimental and
computational analysis. The method requires that all assumptions
that lead to a particular equation form be explicitly indicated, a
restriction which is useful in ascertaining the range of
applicability of a model as well as potential sources of error and
opportunities to improve the analysis.
A complete treatise and practical guide to ceremonial magic and
magical rituals.
For students on the magical path, this new tarot study will show
you how to combine the tarot with the Sangreal symbolism for your
own conscious development. Knowing how to work with the cards opens
the door for a personal journey so you can incorporate magical and
kabbalistic techniques into your daily life.

In The Talking Tree W.G. Gray presents an encyclopaedic and
systematic analysis of the 22 Paths of the Qabalistic Tree of Life
and the archetypal principles underlying them in each of the 'four
worlds'. This unique work by a leading Qabalist of his generation
includes a detailed and comprehensive study of the symbolism of the
Tarot, in which he offers an alternative method of allocating the
Major Arcana to the Paths in place of the commonly used Golden Dawn
system. He also explains how the Western alphabet can be applied to
the Tree of Life as a viable alternative to Hebrew letters. This
book is a priceless reference work for the serious Qabalah student
who has already studied the ten Sephiroth and is looking to move on
to the Paths. As well as explaining the function of God-names,
archangels, angelic orders and mundane archetypes for each Path,
Gray seeks to demonstrate that the Tree of Life is in a continual
state of growth and evolution, and that those who study and work
with the Qabalah should not be afraid to apply new correspondences
to it and rethink some of the traditional assumptions.
In the early 1970s the redoubtable old occultist William G. Gray
bicycled from his Gloucestershire home to the Rollright stone
circle in Oxfordshire on a clear and full-mooned summer night. The
visionary experiences he encountered on that night and in other
similar visits resulted in the writing of this book, originally
published by Helios Books in 1975 and now a classic among pagan and
craft traditions. The text of the ritual is given in full, along
with a discussion of its pattern and purpose. The Rollright Ritual
is a powerful initiatory rite for attuning oneself to a personal
and communal path of spiritual growth, presented here with an
explanatory text and a discussion of the spiritual lives and
practices of the stone circle builders of Great Britain. "Somehow,
we ought to get away from ideas that a Standing Stone is only an
outworn sign of our past, and see it as an upraised Finger of Fate
beckoning us ahead toward our future. The Stone is not merely a
memorial of bygone beliefs, but a pointer that should raise our
highest hopes of finding faith in all the Life that lies ahead of
us."
As an "omniscient and obnoxious" teenager in 1969, Alan Richardson
wrote to the occult author William G. Gray in pursuit of instant
magical enlightenment. While he didn't quite get that, it was the
beginning of a correspondence lasting many years in which Gray
generously shared his magical knowledge and experience. Gray's
letters, witty, ascerbic and blunt, contain a wealth of hints and
tips on working and using Qabalah, his views on Dion Fortune, sex
magic, initiation, joining magical groups, and how to stay on the
straight and true path to Light regardless of what life flings at
you. How does free-will relate to Destiny? Why do many great Adepts
behave like idiots if they're in contact with Higher Powers? Is sex
incompatible with a spiritual path? He addresses the questions
which weigh on the mind of every magical seeker - always with the
proviso that true wisdom can only be reached from within oneself.
The letters are a delight to read and show the humour and
understanding which shine through Gray's famously unsentimental
character. They will be of direct practical value to anyone
pursuing a magical path of any kind, Qabalistic or otherwise, and
his advice to his young apprentice is every bit as pertinent today
as it was back then.
Seasonal rites are as old as the hills on which they were once
practised by most of humanity. Periodically, in accordance with the
natural tides of nature and the times indicated by the sun and
moon, people came together to make dedicated representations of the
things that bound them closest to the cosmic wheel of life. In this
absorbing work, William G. Gray demonstrates the continuing
relevance of such practices in modern society. The actions of the
rites are performed in a circle which symbolises the cosmic course,
the magical practices consisting of music, movement, meditation and
meaning. Detailed scripts are given for conducting the quarterly
rites of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, with complete texts of
the chants, songs and invocations for each season. Seasonal Occult
Rituals was originally published in 1970, now available again for
the first time in forty years. "A welcome and valuable addition to
the literature of Western occultism ... clear and without
pretentiousness." - Doreen Valiente
1965-1967 ...As the New Age seemed to explode into being,
everything spiritual had to be Eastern. Psychedelic artwork showed
Glastonbury Tor overshadowed by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, or
Stonehenge sending its energies up to Lord Krishna - imagery which
William G. Gray summed up quite simply as "Balls." He was working
hard to make sure that our weakened (or slumbering) Western
Traditions would survive. Among his endeavours at the time was this
guide to the inner and outer practicalities of ritual magic, which
includes instruction on god-forms, words of power, magic circles,
initiation, extension of consciousness and raising power through
ritual. Previously unpublished, Working with Inner Light is the
first new book by William G. Gray since the author's death in 1992.
Written in the form of a journal or magical diary, it includes his
original sketches, and forms a detailed course in modern Qabalistic
magic which will be of immense value to esoteric students and
practitioners working within the Western Mysteries today.
This compendium comprises six Kabbalistic works by William G. Gray,
some of which are appearing here in print for the first time. The
texts included in this compilation are ranging from the simplest
introduction to the Spheres and Paths of the Kabbalistic Tree of
Life system, to related meditation techniques and associated ritual
magical procedures, to an advanced system of what could be termed
"inter-dimensional spiritual communication." The title "A BEGINNERS
GUIDE TO LIVING KABBALAH" is perhaps somewhat misleading, as this
compilation equally contains works of an advanced nature, and the
ritual and meditation techniques addressed in this tome, pertain to
both beginners as well as advanced practitioners of "Practical
Kabbalah."
This textbook presents an understanding of how basic physical
descriptions can be translated into mathematical analogues that
provide an opportunity to investigate environmental processes.
Examples come from a range of hydrologic, atmospheric, and
geophysical problems. The emphasis is on simple examples and
calculations that add to understanding. The book provides a sense
for the meaning of mathematical expressions, a physical feel for
their relations to processes, and confidence in working with
mathematical solutions. The goal of this book, in essence, is to
present the timeless basic physical and mathematical principles and
philosophy of environmental modeling, often to students who need to
be taught how to think in a different way than they would for more
narrowly-defined engineering or physics problems. Minimum
prerequisites for the student reader include a knowledge of
calculus through differential equations, but the book provides the
mathematical and physical tools needed as the occasion arises.
