I'm taking a course on general relativity and try to find a good source on spinors. I'm using "General relativity" by Wald as a guideline, but I'm struggling with his notation. I already took a math class on spinor bundles and am no fan of the abstract index notation. It's proablly great for calculations but it's very hard to read if you're used to reading math texts. Can some one point out to me a reference for learning about the use of spinors in GR that does not use the abstract index notation for example $\omega(v,w)$ instead of $\omega_{AB}v^Aw^B$? With all the lowering and uppering of the indices, I'm totally losing track of the calculations, especially since you have to distinguish between capital latin, capital greek, lowercase latin, lowercase greek all of which can be primed and occur in super- and subscript.
