Pathworking is a term used in various spiritual and occult traditions to describe a meditative or ritual practice aimed at exploring and navigating symbolic or spiritual pathways. These paths are often derived from mystical systems such as the Qabalah, where they represent different aspects of the divine or the self. The practice involves visualizing and traversing these paths to gain insight, achieve spiritual growth, or perform magical operations. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as עבודה מסלולי (avodah maslulei), though this is not a commonly used term in Hebrew language. In French, it is sometimes referred to as travail sur les sentiers, and in German, it may be called Pfadarbeit. Pathworking is often associated with Western esoteric traditions, such as Hermetic Qabalah, Thelema, and ceremonial magic. It is a tool for inner exploration and transformation, allowing practitioners to engage with archetypal forces and deepen their understanding of mystical concepts.
