ITINERARY PREVIEW:
October 10th – Arrival and evening Orientation
We will be staying 4 nights on the east side of the Vltava at the most beautiful hotel in Old Town, the Mozart hotel with views overlooking the river.
Our adventure begins at Vysehrad, the foundations of Prague where we will learn the story of Libuse, the oracle prophetess who founded the city, and connect to the land there. Site includes the church and cemetery, the devil’s pillar, and the origin of Prague.
We will then walk north back towards Old Town, where we will visit a local metalsmith shop, which specializes in ceremonial daggers and swords, among other beautiful metalwork such as jewelry and reproduction pieces. For those who are interested in purchasing a sword or dagger from this shop, we will be consecrating them on the trip and then we will make arrangements for those who wish to have them shipped to their home.
*note that swords are not included in the price of the trip, so this will be from your own spending budget
For the next few days, we will explore all of the magic of Old Prague including the Astrological Clocktower, The Alchemy Museum which is actually the original underground alchemical laboratories that were discovered during construction, with tunnels leading all the way to the castle, the Convent of St. Agnes, the Church of our lady before Tyn as well as the Jewish Quarter, where we will visit the Synagogue of the Kabbalist Rabbi Lowe who created the Golem, as well as his gravestone which is one of the most holy places for those in the Qabalistic tradition.
We will be joined by our Prague team of Hermeticists who will take us to the most occult places in the city, and we will visit the meeting places of Czech hermeticists across the centuries. All along the way, there will be presentations and a wealth of esoteric knowledge shared, including a walking trip of the Emblematic ROYAL ROAD presented by William and one of our Czech guides.
On the 14th we will check out of our hotel and board the coach as we leave the city on our way to Zelizy to the east, and the famous gigantic carvings hidden in the forests.
There will be some light hiking to get to some of these sites. We have gained special access to the sacred grounds and sanctuary where elementals, historical and mythological creatures adorn the walls of the artist’s forest temple.
After lunch we will continue on to Kutna Hora where we will stay two nights.
Kutna Hora is the home of the famous Bone Chapel – the Sedlec Ossuary.
Exploring this with our guides, after dinner we will have an amazing view from the hotel of the flying buttresses of the impressive St. Barbara cathedral.
We will explore important alchemical sites and on the 16th we will continue our circumambulation, traveling to Southern Bohemia to the town of Ceksy Krumlov to visit its Gothic castle and sites. We will stay one night.
Having traveled the countryside, we return to Prague, but now to the Western side, which is where the famous Prague Castle rises on the hill.
We will check in the most magical accommodations and the gem of Prague. During these last three days we will visit the castle, and the Golden Lane, where the Alchemists lived and worked in the days of Emperor Rudolf. We will go to St.Vitus – one of the most incredible cathedrals in the world. There will be free time to explore Mala Strana, and we have some very special evening events planned that we will surprise you with.
In fact, there are so many things I am not sharing here, as I wish for you to be delighted by experiencing them without expectation.
Our final night in Prague we will take a 3 hour cruise on the Vltava, to a special place where we will perform the Middle Pillar Ritual.
After this we will have our farewell dinner and spend our last night together.
This is just a glimpse at the itinerary, there are more magical things than you can imagine that we have planned. There are some amazing museums there including the Mucha Museum, and the National museum, we are awaiting some final word on the fall exhibitions. Already, the doors of Prague are opening to us, as there is no place that has a deeper esoteric current that has been protected across the centuries, and you will surely fall in love with Prague.
