In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant concludes his conversation with Skyler Hamilton from Distinctive Christianity to explore the hidden world of Hermetic Mormonism. What happens when esoteric traditions, alchemy, and mysticism creep into a religion that already claims divine revelation? Skyler unpacks his story of coming to faith in Christ by unpacking the surprising roots and modern expressions of this strange blend of Hermeticism and Latter-day Saint theology. How deep does the rabbit hole go? And why should Christians be concerned about this growing trend in fringe Mormon circles? Tune in for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation you won't want to miss. Cultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry.

John Vervaeke and Sebastian Morello engage in an expansive dialogue that traverses the authority crisis in the Catholic Church, the enduring wisdom of Neoplatonism, and the transformative power of Hermetic practices. Anchored in Morello's provocative new book, Mysticism, Magic and Monasteries, the conversation unpacks the “double crisis” of our time- one of meaning and one of sanctity, and argues that modernity functions like a spell that must be broken. Together, they examine how monasticism once offered a stable and embodied sanctity, and why recovering mysticism, ritual magic (in the Hermetic sense), and lived devotion might be essential for collective reawakening.  Notes:  (0:00) Welcome to The Lectern (0:30) John reconnects with Sebastian Morello  (3:00) Sebastian Gives a Brief Introduction of Himself (6:00) Diagnosing the Double Crisis - Meaning and Authority (9:00) Critique of Modernity and the Catholic Church (12:00) The Loss of Embodied Wisdom in the West (20:00) Neoplatonism and the Need for Relational Ontology (26:30) Philosophical Anthropology and Cosmic Personhood (31:00) Modernity's Ontological Truncation (38:30) Sacred Authority and the Failures of Clericalism (42:00) Monasteries as Alternatives to Institutional Collapse (49:00) Christian Liturgy as Baptized Theurgy (54:00) Hermetic Cognition - Practicing the Theocentric Vision (1:00:00) Recovering Sacred Imagery - Tarot, Ritual, and Mystical Space (1:04:00) Digital Gnosticism and the Threat to Embodiment (1:07:00) The Future of Privacy - Personhood, Property, and Charity (1:11:00) The Philosophical Silk Road - East-West Interpenetration

Summary   Explore the mystical parallels between the Tarot and the Gospel of John in this profound conversation with Professor Eric Cunningham. Delve into Christian Hermeticism, Rudolf Steiner's esoteric insights, and the role of the Fool as a cosmic archetype. This episode offers seekers a fresh lens on spiritual initiation and inner transformation through symbolism, scripture, and soul.   Overview   In this illuminating episode of Higher Density Living, Jason Rigby welcomes back Eric Cunningham, Professor of History at Gonzaga University and a leading voice in esoteric studies and Zen thought. With expertise in modern Japanese intellectual history, Anthroposophy, and spirituality in the digital age, Eric bridges Valentin Tomberg's Meditations on the Tarot with the mystical Gospel of John to reveal a shared path of Christian initiation.   Together, they explore how the Major Arcana — from the Fool to the World — mirror the spiritual evolution depicted in the Gospel. From Steiner's vision of thinking as spiritual perception to John the Baptist as the archetypal Fool, Cunningham reframes the Tarot not as occult divination, but as divine revelation. This dialogue invites listeners to expand beyond dogma, meditate on mystery, and activate higher density consciousness through spiritual symbols and inner truth.   Timestamps     00:01 – Mystical Union Begins: Tarot meets the Gospel of John. 03:21 – Christian Hermeticism 101: Valentin Tomberg's cosmic map. 07:05 – Tripartite Path: Mysticism, Gnosis, and Sacred Magic decoded. 13:29 – The Fool's Descent: Logos incarnate and the dissociative barrier. 19:36 – Amor and Divine Madness: Fool as archetype of pure love. 23:04 – Resurrection and Integration: Tarot's sequence as spiritual evolution. 28:26 – Reverse Reading & Genesis: Tarot through Steiner's inner path. 31:12 – The Fifth Dimension: Apocalypse, ascension, and new Earth.     Quotes “The Fool is the soul at the edge of transcendence, letting go of all certainties.” – Eric Cunningham “If the Gospel of John and the Tarot are both Christian initiations, they must need each other.” – Eric Cunningham “You don't need to figure this out. You need to think about it — that's enough.” – Jason Rigby   Guest Bio   Eric Cunningham is a Professor of History at Gonzaga University specializing in modern Japanese intellectual history, Zen Buddhism, Anthroposophy, psychedelia, and postmodernism. He holds an MA in modern Japanese literature and a PhD in History from the University of Oregon. Eric is the author of several works including Hallucinating the End of History, Zen Past and Present, and The Luciferic Versus. He lectures globally on topics such as esotericism, film, and spiritual consciousness in the digital age.

In our latest interview, Matthew LaCroix and Emilio Ortiz explore the exciting prophecy for 2025, including deeper understanding of cosmic cycles through the lens of Hermeticism. They discuss the significance of the Great Year, lost civilizations, and the sacred knowledge that has been forgotten over time. This podcast delves into the symbolism of the pine cone, the corruption of ancient teachings, and the nature of consciousness. They also examine the influence of celestial bodies on human consciousness and the potential for advanced technologies to help humanity survive future cycles. Finally, they touch on the concept of reincarnation and the importance of remembering our past. Furthermore, Matthew LaCroix explores the themes of divine timing, the unveiling of hidden knowledge, and the interplay of numbers and reality. Matthew LaCroix is a passionate writer and ancient history researcher. After college, his focus became studying archeology, ancient civilizations, physics, and history and at age 32, he published his first major book entitled: The Illusion of Us. In 2019, Matthew released his second book: The Stage of Time, which seeks to unravel the mysteries of the lost civilizations of antiquity, the ancient catastrophes that destroyed them, and a library of the greatest knowledge they left behind. In 2023, he released his third book co-written with Billy Carson entitled: The Epic of Humanity, and went on to make a major archeological discovery near Lake Van in Turkey, where he found evidence of a previously unknown lost civilization - known as the Ararat Civilization, which would become the focus of his career in the future.✦ To support the Lost Ararat Civilization Documentary

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Neil Douglas-Klotz about his latest book, The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days – 40 Days of Contemplation and Revelation, published this year by Hampton Roads. This latest volume offers new translations from Jesus' native language in the form of a meditation a day, an oracle, or a guide for a 40-day retreat. Through expansions of Aramaic's multiple meanings as well as guided contemplations, The Aramaic Jesus Book of Days provides a guide to transformation through the way of the prophet. It shows how the deepest teachings of Jesus address contemporary challenges, such as our relationships with nature and each other, as well as the purpose of life itself. In short chapters, the book takes up life themes you're facing and offers meditations to address them. Each chapter is introduced with a short saying and keyword of Jesus, heard with “Aramaic ears,” and then proceeds to show how this applies to a life issue today. This book offers a unique perspective on Jesus's teachings that can help you to connect with them on a deeper level and live a more authentic, fulfilling, and compassionate life. Neil Douglas-Klotz is an internationally known scholar in the fields connecting religious studies (comparative Semitic hermeneutics) and psychology as well as a poet and musician. He is the author of Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus, Prayers of the Cosmos, and The Hidden Gospel and coauthor of The Tent of Abraham with Sister Joan Chittister and Rabbi Arthur Waskow. He is the past chair of the Mysticism Group of the American Academy of Religion.

In this episode, I listen to a rare and profound lecture by one of the greatest esoteric teachers of the 20th century—Manly P. Hall. Recorded on August 8, 1964 and titled 'Developing the Skills to Make Decisions', this timeless talk explores the metaphysical mechanics behind our choices, the energetic signature of decision-making, and how even the smallest decision echoes into the greater fabric of reality.Hall's multidimensional breakdown reveals that every decision is more than just a choice—it's an act of creative power. He unpacks how our conscious and unconscious intentions shape outcomes, influence karma, and shift the direction of our life path. He also talks about decision as a clarifier, he helps us understand how to align our decisions with higher principles, cultivating a life that resonates with truth and meaning.Join me as we travel back in time to absorb the wisdom of a true master, whose words still guide seekers on the path of awakening.www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, a monumental work that explores the symbolic meanings behind myths, religions, alchemy, mysticism, and secret societies.Hall's ability to synthesize complex spiritual ideas from diverse traditions made him a unique figure in the 20th-century spiritual landscape. Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies. Hosted on Acast.

Let's explore the complex tradition of Hermeticism—an esoteric philosophy rooted in Hellenistic Egypt and attributed to the legendary Hermes Trismegistus. Exploring its metaphysical teachings, spiritual practices such as alchemy, astrology, and ritual magic, and its profound influence on Renaissance thinkers, Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and modern occultism, this video offers an accessible yet academically grounded journey through one of the most enduring currents in Western esoteric thought. Perfect for those curious about the deeper layers of magic, mysticism, and spiritual transformation.CONNECT & SUPPORT

It's not about physical gender, but about the balance of active and receptive forces that exist in everyone and everything. The meditation guides the listener to become aware of these energies within themselves. It encourages them to identify the qualities associated with each: masculine (active, logical, doing) and feminine (receptive, intuitive, being). It emphasizes that achieving inner balance is key, as an overemphasis on either energy can lead to imbalance. The meditation aims to facilitate a sense of wholeness by encouraging the integration and harmonization of these energies THIS WEEK'S THEME: This week, we embark on a journey into the ancient and profound wisdom of Hermeticism. Hermeticism, attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, is a spiritual and philosophical tradition that has influenced thinkers for millennia. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, the interconnectedness of all things, and the power of the mind.

Simply put, what you do has consequences. Every choice you make, every action you take, sets something else in motion. It's like planting seeds. If you plant apple seeds, you'll get apple trees. If you plant weeds, you'll get weeds. Not only do your actions matter, but also your intentions. Why are you doing what you're doing? A kind intention is more likely to lead to a positive effect than a selfish one. Be guided in a meditation practicing the sixth key prinicple of Hermeticism.

Be guided in a meditation about finding your "truth voice" and understanding that it's okay for it to have ups and downs, just like everything else in life. We're using the Hermetic idea that everything moves in cycles (like waves or a pendulum) to understand how our communication works. Be guided to be kind to yourself and understand that your voice is a part of you, and it's always changing, just like everything else.

In the premiere episode of Season 6 of the podcast I sit down with Wouter J. Hanegraaff, professor of Hermetic Philosophy & related currents at the University of Amsterdam. Professor Hanegraaff is one of the leading voices in the academic study of hermetism, hermeticism, and esotericism at large. His written works include Esotericism and the Academy: Rejected Knowledge in Western Culture, Western Esotericism: A Guide for the Perplexed, Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity, and the forthcoming Esotericism in Western Culture: Counter-Normativity and Rejected Knowledge.It was a pleasure to speak with the professor on Hermeticism, the concept of the soul in antiquity, esotericism in western culture, his native home of Amsterdam, the interplay between practitioner communities and the academy and much more.Professor Hanegraaff: https://www.wouterjhanegraaff.net/abouthttps://uva.academia.edu/WouterHanegraaffhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001JOKDBM?ccs_id=b0a98f09-1c45-4eac-b6b7-78b077337cb7ARCANVM Newsletter:https://ikebaker.com/newsletterFor all things Ike be sure to visit/message him at: https://ikebaker.comSUPPORT ARCANVM for $5/MONTH: https://patreon.com/arcanvmFOLLOW on Facebook: http://facebook.com/arcanvvm FOLLOW on Instagram: @a.r.c.a.n.v.m#hermeticphilosophy #hermeticism #esoteric

Today, we delve into the heart of duality with a meditation focused on the Hermetic Principle of Polarity: 'Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.' 2  We'll use the Anjali Mudra, the gesture of prayer and unity, to explore and harmonize the opposing forces within and around us. This mudra symbolizes the bringing together of duality, reminding us that opposites are not separate but interconnected aspects of a greater whole.

Be guided in a meditation encompassing the dynamic heart of Hermetic philosophy: The Principle of Vibration. 'Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.' This principle reveals that the universe is not a static entity, but a ceaseless dance of energy, from the subtlest thoughts to the grandest celestial bodies. Everything is in constant motion, vibrating at different frequencies. Understanding this principle empowers us to recognize that we are not passive observers, but active participants in this vibrant dance. We can learn to consciously shift our own vibrations, influencing our reality and aligning ourselves with the harmonious rhythms of the cosmos. In this meditation, we'll explore how to connect with the vibrational nature of existence and harness its transformative power.

In this mind-expanding episode of Think Tank, Robert sits down with Neven Paar, a modern Hermetist, esoteric researcher, and the author behind Serpent Rising. Neven shares his profound journey into mysticism, from a spontaneous Kundalini awakening in 2004 to his deep exploration of Hermeticism, the Golden Dawn, Kabbalah, astrology, and ceremonial magic. The conversation dives into: The Kundalini experience and its profound impact on consciousness How ancient mythologies across cultures are interconnected and mirror our spiritual evolution The significance of ritual magic, the Tree of Life, and alchemy in personal transformation The coming age of planetary awakening and the role of cosmic forces in human evolution The hidden knowledge in Egyptian temples, sacred texts, and celestial cycles Neven reveals how esoteric wisdom, myth, and spiritual science converge to unlock human potential. This deep, philosophical, and thought-provoking discussion is for seekers of truth, students of the occult, and anyone curious about higher consciousness and the mysteries of existence.

Today, we delve into one of the most fundamental principles of Hermetic philosophy: the Principle of Correspondence, often expressed as, 'As above, so below; as below, so above.' This powerful concept reveals the profound interconnectedness of all levels of existence—from the vast cosmos to the smallest atom, from the spiritual realms to the physical world. It teaches us that patterns and structures are mirrored across all planes, and that by understanding one level, we gain insight into all others. In this meditation, we'll explore how this principle manifests in our lives, cultivating a deeper awareness of the intricate web of connections that weave our reality together. THIS WEEK'S THEME: Today, we embark on a journey into the ancient and profound wisdom of Hermeticism. Hermeticism, attributed to the legendary figure Hermes Trismegistus, is a spiritual and philosophical tradition that has influenced thinkers for millennia. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality, the interconnectedness of all things, and the power of the mind.

Wes his journey into spiritual traditions began when he discovered that Vlad the Impaler (the real Dracula) was actually defeated by Muslim warriors - a fact most history books conveniently ignore. This revelation led him down a fascinating path exploring how European and Middle Eastern spiritual traditions intertwined throughout history.He has uncovered forgotten stories of how spiritual alchemy became a practical attempt at Hermeticism , how ancient Roman legions carried Egyptian mystery cults across the empire, and how medieval trade routes became superhighways for exchanging not just goods, but spiritual knowledge.Through his work on Tales of Khayr, he now helps resurrect these lost narratives."If you're a Muslim who loves comic books and manga, you know how frustrating it is to see your Deen and culture attacked in mainstream media. You want to enjoy stories that are fun, exciting, and respectful of your beliefs–but you can't find them anywhere. If you're like me, then you are tired of paying people who hate Islam to entertain you. You deserve better. You deserve stories that inspire you to be a better Muslim and a better man –not portray your heroes as bloodthirsty terrorists.Where to find Wes/Tales of Khayr:https://talesofkhayr.com/Visit our sponsor ShopReclaimRepurpose:https://shopreclaimrepurpose.etsy.com?coupon=STIJNFAWKESTAFLGet your clean THC infused Seltzer at:shop.getgoodfeels.comWhere to find the Tribe of the Greyhorn Pagans:https://www.greyhornpagans.com/https://linktr.ee/greyhornpaganshttps://linktr.ee/firefae Support the Greyhorn Pagans:https://www.patreon.com/Greyhornpaganshttps://ko-fi.com/greyhornpaganshttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/greyhorn-pagans-podcast--6047518/support BUY OUR MERCH:https://www.bonfire.com/store/tribe-of-the-greyhorn-pagans/ Podcast recorded with Riverside Studios:https://www.riverside.fm/?via=stijnfawkesMusic used:Intro: Witchhouse Requiem by Humanfobia https://humanfobia-official.bandcamp.com/album/epitafio-fantasmal-2021Outro: Viking/Medieval Theme by M-Murray -- https://freesound.org/s/723202/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Bob Noha, co-editor of and contributor to Aikido – The Art of Transformation: The Life & Teachings of Robert Nadeau, published recently by Park Street Press, a division of Inner Traditions. A widely influential figure in the development of Aikido in America, Robert Nadeau is known as one of the few American direct disciples of Aikido's founder Morihei Ueshiba O-sensei. Now an 8th dan Aikido master teacher, Nadeau has taught generations of students, and several have become prominent teachers in their own right. However, he has never written about his life or philosophy, always reserving his most pointed lessons for those who practice with him in person. This book tells the story of Robert Nadeau's life journey and his distinctive approach to teaching Aikido as a way to access the inner energetic aspects of the art, a transformational approach with universal applications in daily life, even for non-Aikidoists. The authors explore Nadeau's early interest in martial arts and all things spiritual as a teenager in California in the 1950s, his seminal training under Morihei Ueshiba at Aikido Hombu Dojo in Tokyo in the 1960s, and the following six decades of training, experimenting, refining, and teaching as he worked to introduce Aikido to the wider world, even beyond the traditional dojo. They lay out Nadeau's core concepts, describe his simple-but-effective practices for personal development, and convey his time-tested approach to the inner training at the heart of Aikido in a very accessible way. They also include first-person accounts from Nadeau's students, including Dan Millman, Richard Strozzi-Heckler, Peter Ralston, and Renée Gregorio, who recall their personal experiences of training with him, retell conversations with him, and describe insights and lessons learned, sharing how he affected their lives, sometimes quite profoundly. Bob Noha, 6th Dan, began practicing Aikido in 1966 in Mountain View and shortly thereafter began training with Robert Nadeau Sensei, which started a lifelong friendship. Bob opened the first Aikido school in the Washington, DC, area in 1970 and taught arrest/restraint tactics to US Military Police at Andrews Air Force Base in 1974. Then, in 1975, he established the first Aikido school in Buffalo, New York. He founded Aikido of Petaluma in 1983 and continues to serve as its chief instructor. Bob traveled to Japan to further deepen his Aikido training in 1998, 1999, and 2006. In addition, he is also a devoted student and teacher of t'ai chi and has a background in several other martial arts.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine, authors of The Beginner's Guide to Karma – How to Live with Less Negativity & More Peace, published recently by New World Library. Twenty-six centuries ago, the Buddha fleshed out the universal law of the spiritual realm: karma. The law of karma holds that our actions, our words, and even our thoughts inevitably produce effects that return to us in some form — in this lifetime or a future one. Today, most Westerners have a passing familiarity with the concept of karma, which amounts to “what goes around comes around.” This is true as far as it goes, but it merely scratches the surface of a complex and fascinating topic. In The Beginner's Guide to Karma, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche and Mordy Levine encourage readers to forget what they've heard about karma and look at the subject afresh. Delving into Buddhist scripture and tradition, the authors give a comprehensive outline of karma that incorporates psychology, ethics, and metaphysics. Using everyday language and real-life examples, they clear away myths, illustrate how karma works in daily life, and offer daily practices to build positive karma. The Beginner's Guide to Karma neatly sums up the Buddhist worldview and makes a compelling case for Buddhism as a way of life that nurtures compassion, joy, and inner peace in an uncertain world. Born in the Amdo region of historic Tibet, Lama Lhanang Rinpoche received a traditional monastic education and later studied under several respected Tibetan lamas. Today, he teaches Vajrayana Buddhism at the Jigme Lingpa Center in San Diego, California, where he lives with his wife and child. Mordy Levine is an entrepreneur, a meditation teacher, and the president of the Jigme Lingpa Center. He also created the Meditation Pro Series, a meditation program designed to alleviate chronic health issues. He lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with his wife, Elizabeth.

Podcast: This week on the show we feature a pre-recorded conversation with Roger Jackson, author of Saraha – Poet of Blissful Awareness, published this year by Shambhala as part of its Lives of the Masters series. Saraha, “the Archer,” was a mysterious but influential tenth-century Indian Buddhist tantric adept who expressed his spiritual realization in mystic songs (dohas) that are enlightening, shocking, and confounding by turns. Saraha's poetic verses served as a basis for the exposition, in Tibet, of mahamudra, the great-seal meditation on the nature of mind that permeates every tradition of Buddhism on the Tibetan plateau. This is the first book to attempt a thorough treatment of the context, life, works, poetics, and teachings of Saraha. Roger Jackson is Professor Emeritus of Asian Studies and Religion at Carleton College. He has nearly 50 years of experience with the study and practice of Buddhism, particularly in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. His special interests include Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and ritual; Buddhist religious poetry; religion and society in Sri Lanka; the study of mysticism; and contemporary Buddhist thought. Roger is a highly respected and beloved scholar, Dharma teacher, and writer. He has authored many scholarly books and articles, and is a frequent contributor to Lion's Roar, Buddhadharma, and Tricycle magazines.

One of the most asked questions that I get, is about something which has already been covered on the podcast previously but perhaps needs a bit more context. Hermeticism is hard to get one's head around already, but what does somebody who calls themself a "Hermeticist" actually believe and more than that- what do they actually do? Taking us through this form of mysticism, and as a bonus, how Magical Timing can help your magic is my favourite person to talk to about Magic- The one and only Sam Block.

In this episode, we are joined by Miguel Conner, host of the renowned podcast "Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio". Miguel dives deep into the world of Gnosticism, sharing insights into its mystical roots and its relevance in modern spiritual practice. We explore the hidden knowledge of ancient esoteric traditions* touching on themes of personal transformation, alternative history, and the quest for spiritual enlightenment. Miguel sheds light on the intersection of mythology and philosophy, with a special focus on the fringe and its influence on contemporary thought. He also discusses the role of Jungian archetypes, hermeticism, and alchemy in understanding the deeper mysteries of the self and the universe.Miguels' website: https://thegodabovegod.com/

In this episode, I delve into a rare and enlightening lecture by the iconic esoteric teacher Manly P. Hall titled 'The Return of Masonic Initiation to the Western World'. This remarkable recording from the 1950s offers a deep exploration of the history and symbolism of Masonic mystery schools, shedding light on the transformative power of initiation from an esoteric perspective. Hall also shares a compelling analysis of the origins of the Illuminati, untangling fact from fiction in the context of its historical and philosophical roots.A standout portion of the lecture is Hall's brilliant dissection of Freemason Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera, The Magic Flute. Here, Hall unpacks the opera's intricate allegories and spiritual teachings, revealing its deep connections to Masonic ideals and universal truths. Join me as I reflect on this rare gem of wisdom, uncovering the hidden layers of mysticism, initiation, and esoteric philosophy that continue to inspire and intrigue seekers to this day.www.prs.orgManly P. Hall Bio:Manly Palmer Hall (March 18, 1901 – August 29, 1990) was a renowned philosopher, author, and mystic who delved deeply into esoteric traditions and spiritual knowledge. Born in Peterborough, Ontario, Hall moved to the United States at a young age and soon became a prominent lecturer on occult and metaphysical topics. His curiosity and passion for ancient wisdom culminated in the publication of *The Secret Teachings of All Ages* in 1928, a monumental work that explores the symbolic meanings behind myths, religions, alchemy, mysticism, and secret societies.Hall's ability to synthesize complex spiritual ideas from diverse traditions made him a unique figure in the 20th-century spiritual landscape. Over his lifetime, he authored more than 150 books and delivered over 8,000 lectures. His teachings spanned subjects such as Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, astrology, comparative religion, and the symbolism found in sacred texts.In 1934, Hall founded the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, a center dedicated to the study of philosophy, comparative religion, and personal development. The PRS continues to preserve his vast collection of manuscripts and teachings.Hall's work has had a lasting impact on those seeking spiritual growth, often serving as a bridge between modern spiritual seekers and ancient wisdom traditions. Despite passing away in 1990 under mysterious circumstances, Hall's influence remains significant among students of esoteric and philosophical studies. Hosted on Acast.

On this Friday the 13th, 2010 at 8:00 p.m. (Templar Memorial Day) The Hermetic Hour's host Poke Runyon will lead a discussion on Hermetic Philosophy, from ancient Alexandria through the Renaissance, and into the modern era. We will look at the early work of Empedocles and Pythagoras, the Pomander and the Asclepius, the Emerald Tablet, and the Chaldean Oracles. We will consider the Gnostic connection, and how the kabbalah arose from Greek, Assyrian, and Gnostic roots, and how it joined with Hermeticism in the Renaissance. We will establish why astrology is so important in the magical art. Most importantly we will look for The Great Secret of Hermetic-kabbalistic philosophy. This is the "Why" of Magick. This is the Holy Grail that we search for. This is the reason we dedicate our lives to an art that destroys the fools, and makes the wise immortal. I doubt that you have ever heard anything like this before. Tune in and we will open the pathway to enlightenment. Nosce te Ipsum -- Tu es Deus. Remember: this week we are on Friday evening, not Thursday. Please call in "on the topic."

In this episode of the Ultraculture podcast, Jason Louv welcomes back spiritual teacher and psychic healer George Lizos to discuss his latest book, Ancient Manifestation Secrets. George reveals how ancient Hermetic philosophies can enrich modern manifestation practices by examining the authentic teachings of antiquity, rather than contemporary New Age interpretations. He provides a comprehensive definition of Hermeticism, emphasizing its blend of Greek and Egyptian traditions through the lens of Hermes Trismegistus. Exploring the often-misunderstood Kybalion, he shares insights on how cultural perspectives can shape our understanding of these ancient teachings. George critiques modern manifestation concepts, advocating for a process grounded in one's life purpose, delineating five essential steps: raising vibration, clarifying desires, releasing limiting beliefs, nurturing energies, and taking inspired action. Personal anecdotes, including a transformative visit to Delphi, illustrate his journey and the emotional regulation practices he recommends for effective manifestation work. The conversation delves into the complexities of manifestation, touching on toxic positivity, the importance of gratitude, and the role of collective intentionality, while George highlights the significance of the Oracle of Delphi in modern practices of guidance rather than prophecy. With practical tips for living a spiritually aligned life, the episode offers a wealth of insights that fuse mystical traditions with actionable guidance, affirming that every moment presents a chance to connect with ancient wisdom. This rich, layered dialogue not only challenges mainstream beliefs but also inspires listeners to embrace the profound interconnectedness of their desires and the universe, making it an enlightening must-listen for spiritual seekers.
