The Inner West<\/em> is published<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inner West: An Introduction to the Hidden Wisdom of the West<\/em> is just out under Penguin’s Jeremy Tarcher imprint, with the publisher’s web page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The collection of 20 articles is drawn mostly from the back issues of Gnosis: A Journal of the Western Inner Traditions<\/em><\/a>, whose founding editor, Jay Kinney<\/a>, has edited this new collection. I look at it as a sort of “best of Gnosis<\/em>,” with a focus on Neoplatonism, Hermeticism, and Gnosticism. Richard Smoley<\/a>, the second editor of Gnosis<\/em> and a fine writer on Western esoteric traditions, has several pieces in the collection.<\/p>\n

A piece that I wrote about 1991 called “The Unexamined Tarot” is part of the collection; I think that it holds up pretty well after all these years. The collection also includes Judy Harrow’s “Explaining Wicca.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
