ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
#theosophy #blavatsky #theosophicalsociety In this detailed exploration of the Theosophical Society and its founder, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, we delve into the intricate world of esoteric knowledge, spiritual practices, and the blending of Eastern and Western philosophies. The lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the Society's foundational principles, examining Blavatsky's pivotal role and her influential works, "The Secret Doctrine" and "Isis Unveiled." Key topics include the Society's meditation practices, characterised by an active engagement with esoteric truths aimed at achieving higher states of consciousness. The incorporation of Eastern philosophies, notably Hinduism and Buddhism, is highlighted as a revolutionary aspect of the Society's practices. The lecture further explores the Society's approach to the study and interpretation of sacred texts, emphasizing the synthesis of diverse spiritual teachings. The role of esoteric knowledge and psychic research within the Theosophical Society is also examined, with a focus on the pursuit of understanding the deeper truths of the universe and the human mind's potential. The episode distinguishes these endeavours from the era's more sensationalist spiritualist practices, positioning them within the context of spiritual evolution and ancient wisdom. References from both primary and secondary sources, including works by Marion Meade, William Kingsland, Peter Washington, and others, provide an academically grounded insight into the history and influence of the Theosophical Society. This lecture is ideal for those interested in religious studies, particularly in areas of magic, esotericism, Paganism, shamanism, and the occult. CONNECT & SUPPORT
There is no question that modern Buddhist practice, especially in Sri Lanka and the United States, was heavily influenced by the work of Theosophy’s co-founder Colonel Henry Steel Olcott. Who was this Civil War era Renaissance Man and how did he influence modern Buddhism? We hope that by shedding light on his impact it may help open the conversation about Buddhist esotericism, mysticism and magic that seem to be muted in the practices and study of modern Buddhism, especially from the viewpoint of Western Scientific Materialism.

ACD had a lifelong interest in the mystical and paranormal. In fact his interest in Spiritualism can be dated as early as 1887 when he published an article in the journal of the London Spiritualistic Alliance. In 1883 he joined the thriving Society for Psychical Research. But Kingsley’s death from a long convalescence following a wound acquired at the Battle of the Somme in 1916 did appear to strengthen his belief in spirit communication and life after death. He believed that Spiritualism was a New Revelation sent by God to bring solace to so many who were experiencing loss. He began lecturing on Spiritualism in 1916 and wrote The New Revelation in 1918 on this theme. The Trickster and the Paranormal by George P.

Leadbeater who found Krishnamurti and proclaimed him to be the next Maitreaya. While he originally embraced this role, Krishnamurti rejected this call in 1929 and stated, "I do not want followers. My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free,” a stunning announcement by today’s standards for influencers and religious leaders.

John Henry was a steel-driving man or maybe just a folk tale. John Henry died while competing against a steam drill in West Virginia, or did he? Some think this folk hero, or real-life hero, died here in Alabama at a tunnel south of Leeds close to Dunavant. Listen to the story, and you decide if he was real and where he died.

Jessica Albrecht busts the founding myths of 19th century Buddhist revivalism, through a Statue of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott at Fort Railway Station in Sri Lanka, the former British colony of Ceylon. Known as the 'White Buddhist', US Colonel Henry Steel Olcott is celebrated for sparking Sri Lanka's Buddhist revival movement in 1880s. Golden statues scatter across the island in tribute to the co-founder of the Theosophical Society, the source of religious and educational reform and resistance to British colonial rule in Ceylon. But these statues also pose complex post-colonial questions, like whether Olcott's book, The Buddhist Catechism, was anything but 'Protestant Buddhism', or his schools simply new institutions of external control. Instead of pulling Olcott down, his statues invite us to figure out those silenced in the archives, whether the non-white Buddhists of the Panadura Debate, or the women behind Ceylon's girls schools - without whom Olcott would not have the same standing today. PRESENTER: Jessica Albrecht, PhD student at the University of Heidelberg and editor at EnGender Journal. She focusses on the colonial entanglements of feminism and religion. ART: 'White Buddhist' Statue of Theosophist Henry Steel Olcott, Colombo (c. 1970s). IMAGE: 'Statue of HSO in front of Main Railroad Station in Colombo, Sri Lanka'. SOUNDS: Kala Ketha.

Help Southern Gothic grow by becoming a Patreon Supporter today! When the Civil War drew to a close, the United States’ railway networks, particularly those in the Southern states, were in shambles. During the Reconstruction era, the rehabilitation of the southern rails and expansion of transcontinental railroads became a major undertaking, and as the importance of the railroad rose. In the three decades after the Civil War over 170,000 miles of track were added to America’s railway system; it opened the western states for further settlement and reestablished the accessibility of the southern states. The accomplishment required a considerable workforce, and railway companies became a significant employers of thousands of men finally freed from enslavement. The work was dangerous, physically intensive, and time consuming. It’s unknown exactly how many men lost their lives to injury or illness while expanding the nation’s railroad system during Reconstruction, but the legacy of these men lives on in one of the most enduring folk heroes in American history…the ballad of John Henry, the steel-driving man.
