[Rec] The Lantern: The Seven Rays with William

We are so excited to bring back the LANTERN

The Lantern was born as a magical lecture series akin to a fireside chat – and now we have actually manifested the fireside!

This upcoming Lantern: The Seven Rays will take place in the private room of the Besant Lodge where in this intimate magical space William illuminates concepts of the Western Mysteries that many have heard of but few may have a true down-to-earth understanding of.

Speaking from his experiences walking the path, and offering plenty of wise council, our series of the Lantern is hosted by William Kiesel who shares stories, proposes theories, sheds a light upon history, and tells the tales you won’t find in books.

He introduces esoteric figures he has met in his life, shares his scholarship on an array of topics and offers mentorship from mouth to ear.

The topic of discussion is the Seven Rays, a doctrine that has been included in the ancient world and traditional religions as well as esoteric movements of a variety of expressions. These septenary rays span astrological, cosmological, and initiatory contexts and are still employed in contemporary Gnostic, Theosophical, and Theurgic societies.

This lecture will also be an excellent preparation for those planning to continue into the AstroTheurgy Course.
