[Rec] The Lantern: Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa with William

The Lantern: Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa – Occult Philosopher
Recorded November 2024
Speaker: William Kiesel
Prerequisite: None

Agrippa was a renaissance scholar and occult philosopher whose seminal work the Three Books of Occult Philosophy has exerted considerable influence in the West. Compiling Qabalah, Hermeticism and neo-Platonism under the covers of this text Agrippa enabled magicians from the 1500s to modern times to approach the mysteries in a more systematized way. In this Lantern, William will discuss this important esoteric figure who continued to conduct his work despite the often tempestuous adventures that accompanied his extensive travels.

Join our most esteemed faculty teacher, occult scholar, author and ceremonial magician William Kiesel for THE LANTERN, where he illuminates the concepts of the Western Mysteries that many may have heard of, repeated or sought but few have true down-to earth understanding of. In this metaphoric opening of the veil, his aim is not to make magic mundane, but to show you its true glimmer when it is lived.

Speaking from his experiences walking the path, his depth of knowledge and wise counsel, William will share stories, propose theories, tell the tales you won’t find in books, introduce you to esoteric figures he has met in his life, and enlighten you on the real side of magic without the mumbo jumbo of fanciful phrases without real meaning.

Presented not as a class but more of a “fireside chat” we invite you to tune in, bring your curiosity, and through the sharing of the Lanterns light, receive real mentorship from mouth to ear.
