Hermetic Enigmas of the Esoteric Tradition
Teacher: William Kiesel
Length: 2 hrs each lecture, 6 hrs total
Location: Zoom
The Hermetic Tradition is rich in symbolism and the mysteries of magic are often enciphered under the veil of alchemical enigmas. In this highly visual series William Kiesel will present an overview of the alchemical world view and discuss the principal symbols and their meaning in the context of Qabalistic Magic. Alchemical maxims which often accompany the emblems of the Royal Art will also be explained. The series will equip the student with ample material to approach the potentials of magical consciousness through the mysteries of alchemy as well as supply specific techniques for meditative and ceremonial use. Basic qabalistic knowledge and proficiency with the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram are recommended for students taking this series.
