Join William fireside for The Lantern

In magic we have many tools to assist us in our theurgic work:
dramatic ritual, iconography, scents, cosmologies, diagrams, mind maps and countless other accoutrements lend us support. But navigating such a rich selection of options can be a challenge. Which are appropriate to our current work? How may these various forms come together effectively to bring us inspiration and success in our practice?

In this edition of the Lantern, William discusses the creative process that we, as magicians or mystics can engage, in order to tap into the pure flow of spirit and co-create in equilibrium with Nature and the Divine world.

Strategies and exercises will be suggested which are designed to bring out personal inspiration and potentially establish a magical routine aimed at carrying the highest self along the path of transcendence.

 

Speaking from his experiences walking the path, and offering plenty of wise council, the Lantern series 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.
