Episode 222 - The Way of the Will with David Shoemaker

May 15, 2024

Today I'm joined by author and clinical psychologist David Shoemaker to chat about Thelema and his newest book, The Way of the Will.


In THE WAY OF THE WILL, David Shoemaker explores how the spiritual discipline of Thelema, founded by Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), can be utilized to enhance your psychological and spiritual growth. The book grew out of the authors own teachings and experiences—podcast episodes, classes, and of course, many years of personal practice and supervision of other initiates. It is a compendium of useful tools and perspectives designed to serve as one of many useful guides in the magician’s library.


David Shoemaker is a clinical psychologist in private practice, specializing in Jungian and cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. David is the Chancellor and Prolocutor of the Temple of the Silver Star (totss.org), a Thelemic initiatory and educational organization. He is a long-standing member of O.T.O. and has many years of experience training initiates in these traditions.
