Magus: The Art of Magic from Faustus to Agrippa (Harvard UP, 2023) is a revelatory new account of the magus―the learned magician―and his place in the intellectual, social, and cultural world of Renaissance Europe. In literary legend, Faustus is the quintessential occult personality of early modern Europe. The historical Faustus, however, was something quite different: a magus―a learned magician fully embedded in the scholarly currents and public life of the Renaissance. And he was hardly the only one. Anthony Grafton argues that the magus in sixteenth-century Europe was a distinctive intellectual type, both different from and indebted to medieval counterparts as well as contemporaries like the engineer, the artist, the Christian humanist, and the religious reformer. Alongside these better-known figures, the magus had a transformative impact on his social world. Magus details the arts and experiences of learned magicians including Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Johannes Trithemius, and Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Grafton explores their methods, the knowledge they produced, the services they provided, and the overlapping political and social milieus to which they aspired―often, the circles of kings and princes. During the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, these erudite men anchored debates about licit and illicit magic, the divine and the diabolical, and the nature of “good” and “bad” magicians. Over time, they turned magic into a complex art, which drew on contemporary engineering as well as classical astrology, probed the limits of what was acceptable in a changing society, and promised new ways to explore the self and exploit the cosmos. Resituating the magus in the social, cultural, and intellectual order of Renaissance Europe, Grafton sheds new light on both the recesses of the learned magician's mind and the many worlds he inhabited.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating origins and esoteric significance of the term larva. We begin by exploring its classical Latin meaning as a ghostly apparition or malevolent spirit, drawing from ancient Roman religious traditions. Discover how larvae were seen as dangerous spirits that disturbed the living, and how these concepts evolved over time. As we trace the term through history, you'll see how larva came to represent not just ghosts, but also astral parasites in modern occultism, feeding off negative emotions and unresolved psychic energy. Learn how figures like Blavatsky, Crowley, and Bardon interpreted larvae as psychic parasites, and how the term has even found its way into modern biological terminology. We'll also discuss the festival of Lemuria in Roman culture, where rituals were performed to exorcise these malevolent spirits, and the symbolic significance of masks in esoteric traditions.

The Corpus Hermeticum is a collection of 17 Greek writings whose authorship is traditionally attributed to the legendary Hellenistic figure Hermes Trismegistus, a syncretic combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. The treatises were originally written between c. 100 and c. 300 CE, but the collection as known today was first compiled by medieval Byzantine editors. It was translated into Latin in the 15th century by the Italian humanist scholars Marsilio Ficino (1433–1499) and Lodovico Lazzarelli (1447–1500).

In the culminating fifth lecture of the Sophia Lecture series, Professor Douglas Hedley culminates his exploration by delving into play's theological dimension, engaging with Marsilio Ficino, Desiderius Erasmus, and Plotinus to dissect 'serious play', a pivotal concept in Renaissance thought. Throughout the lecture series, Hedley has traversed play's philosophical terrain, examining its roots, the vital role of language in human development, the journey into self-awareness, and the allure of aesthetics. In this lecture, he weaves together the interplay of wisdom and play within cultural narratives, delves into Plotinus' portrayal of the cosmos as a divine ballet, and highlights the synergy between divine ecstasy and human creativity. Additionally, he probes the impact of symbolic play in spiritual realms and underscores the critical role of femininity in the discourse on wisdom and play. Professor Hedley's contributions provide a rich, interconnected view of play as a gateway to a deeper understanding of our selves and the cosmos.   Douglas Hedley is a Professor in the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow at Clare College. His work spans the fields of philosophy, theology, and psychology, focusing on the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern thought.   Glossary of Terms   Kenosis: The self-emptying of one's own will and becoming entirely receptive to God's divine will.

University of Cambridge philosopher, Professor Douglas Hedley, delves into the concept of play and its vital role in understanding the human condition. Drawing on Johann Huizinga, Hermann Hesse, and Josef Pieper's ideas, Hedley links play to the divine act of creation, asserting it as an essential element of our existence associated with freedom, creativity, and spirituality. He considers various viewpoints from Christian and Eastern traditions, addressing criticisms and underscoring play's civilizing role. Through Hermann Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game," Hedley probes into play's societal function, its ties to leisure and festivals, and its life-enriching effects. The lecture's Q&A session offers additional insights, marking it as a significant resource for those intrigued by play's profound meanings. Douglas Hedley is a distinguished philosopher at the University of Cambridge, celebrated for his extensive research in the philosophy of religion and Platonism.

Quando riflette sugli abissi del male, o sulle altezze, ben più difficili, del bene. Quando deve dare ordine alla musica dell'universo, o quando prova a immaginare, a occhi aperti, una via che conduca fuori dal mondo. O quando, infine, deve pensare l'inizio e la fine di tutto, come insegna il libro dei libri, la Bibbia, che crea il mondo in sette giorni. Raccontare la storia del sette significa avventurarsi in spazi in cui i numeri si trasformano in divinità, in elementi della natura, nella materia dei sogni e in speranze di pace. Una storia solo apparentemente lontana, perché il mistero del sette non ha mai smesso di affascinarci, e continua a riaffiorare fra le trame della nostra vita.Raphael Ebgi insegna Storia della Filosofia all'Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele di Milano.

In this episode, the esoteric scholar Ronnie Pontiac returns to talk about his latest book: The Magic of the Orphic Hymns: A New Translation for the Modern Mystic.Co-authored by Tamra Lucid, his wife, this brilliant collaboration takes the reader on a winding journey through history, striking a perfect balance between dense scholarship and poetic musing. And they conclude with their own renditions of the hymns, beautifully distilled with poetic skill and the finesse of musicians. Reading this book feels like uncorking a dusty bottle of ancient spirits. The history is allowed to breathe, inviting you to swirl things around and develop your own taste for the mysteries of Orpheus. Tamra and Ronnie present the Orphic Hymns as being much more than beautiful relics.

Ronnie Pontiac discusses his new book, The Magic of the Orphic Hymns: A New Translation for the Modern Mystic. Tamra Lucid and Ronnie Pontiac present new literary translations of the Orphic Hymns that reveal their power to attune the reader to the sacred presence of the Orphic Mysteries and the higher order of nature. These translations restore important esoteric details and correspondences about the being or deity to which each hymn is addressed, offering a deeper understanding of these ancient texts. The famous philosopher Marsilio Ficino once wrote that the Orphic Hymns were the most powerful form of magic. These hymns were not just poems but were used for meditation, rituals, and ceremonies. Each hymn was dedicated to a specific deity or virtue, like Athena, Zeus, Love, Justice, or Equality. However, the original hymns were written formulaically, which made them difficult to translate. Tamra Lucid and Ronnie Pontiac have brought back the magical essence of the mystery cults of the past through their new versions of the teletai. They have included important hidden details and correspondences about the being or deity to which each hymn is addressed. They have also added a new version of a lost hymn called "Number" and messages that were inscribed on golden leaves meant to be passports for the dead. These reinventions preserve the original magical intent and mysticism of the teletai. Furthermore, the authors reveal the power of each hymn to attune the reader to the sacred presence of the Orphic Mysteries and the higher order of nature. They also demonstrate how the Orphic Hymns are a book of hours or a calendar of life, covering every event, from birth to death, and guiding us through every experience of human existence as necessary and holy.

We start with the history of where this wisdom springs from including who Hermes Trismegistus was and some of the myths around Thoth and Hermes. We explore Marsilio Ficino's life and works, and the role he played in keeping the flame of this ancient wisdom alive. We talk about the Cult of Serapis and some similarities it has to Jesus's death and resurrection. We also discuss why we feel this information has been hidden from the masses.

While Heidegger and Derrida both contributed groundbreaking reflections on hospitality (and “hostipitality”), they failed to recognize that the host-guest relationship can only succeed if it is correlated with the notion of mutual guardianship. The lecture will describe historic guardian civilizations and then turn to Ricoeur's linguistic hospitality as a possible blueprint for future cultural hospitality. However, the latter scenario will have no need for a third party, i.e., a “translator” who mediates between host and guest. The challenge consists of designing a host-guest relationship in which both parties become each other's translators - and guardians.Tamara Albertini is a professor and department chair at the university of Hawai‘i at Manoa.

If we want to understand Occult Philosophy, we first need to take a look at the world in which Agrippa lived. This episode will begin by looking at the Holy Roman Empire, where Agrippa was born and spent most of his life, and then examine a few key historical topics that are relevant to Agrippa and Occult Philosophy, including: The Renaissance The Reformation Science and Philosophy Finally, this episode will give a general overview of Three Books of Occult Philosophy and outline a general plan for this series of podcast episodes.

Di frasi diventate celebri scritte da Michelangelo Buonarroti ce ne sono davvero tante e alcune addirittura sono entrate di diritto nel linguaggio comune. Non parlava né scriveva mai a caso Michelangelo e i suoi scritti fanno parte del patrimonio culturale mondiale. Le sue parole aprono il cuore e la mente di chi ha voglia di imparare sempre di più da coloro che hanno avuto la sorte di calcare questa terra prima di lui. A seguire troverete le frasi su Michelangelo. Michelangelo è il genio indiscusso del Rinascimento. Scultore prima di tutto ma anche grande pittore, architetto e scrittore di versi e di memorabili lettere che hanno fatto tremare papi, cardinali, re, principi e duchi. Il suo carteggio è infinito così come sono innumerevoli le frasi divenute nel corso dei secoli celebri destinate ai parenti più prossimi come al padre e ai fratelli, agli amici ma anche ai potenti del mondo di allora. Sfrontato con chi dall'alto governava le sorti delle genti e amorevole e gentile con le persone amate come Tommaso de' Cavalieri e Vittoria Colonna. Ha dedicato versi indimenticabili a chi era capace di fargli battere il cuore, scrivendo al contempo parole di fuoco contro una chiesa che vedeva allontanarsi sempre di più da Cristo. Michelangelo ha lasciato ai posteri opere straordinarie: basta pensare al David, alla Pietà Vaticana o ai mirabili affreschi della volta e del Giudizio Universale all'interno della Cappella Sistina. Ogni cosa per lui era degna di nota e riempiva interi faldoni annotando qualsiasi cosa: dai pagamenti da riscuotere o da fare fino ai pensieri che la notte gli portava, quasi fossero un dono per le ore trascorse insonni. In alcuni studi di figure si continuano a leggere versi frammentari o pensieri fermati sulla carta rapidamente prima che il passare dei minuti li cancellasse per sempre. Acuto e amante degli scritti danteschi, profondo conoscitore delle Sacre Scritture e dei testi di Marsilio Ficino, Michelangelo era molto di più che un grande artista. Le frasi di Michelangelo estrapolate dalle lettere e dai suoi componimenti poetici continuano a meravigliare chi non lo conosce così bene. Capace di una grande ironia mischiata talvolta al sarcasmo, riusciva a scrivere versi molto profondi, in grado di far vibrare le corde più nascoste dell'animo umano. Per avere un'idea più precisa di chi fosse questo immenso artista, non è sufficiente conoscere le sue opere ma è indispensabile immergersi nella lettura dei suoi componimenti e del carteggio.

Los filósofos renacentistas hablaron de una “Prisca Theologia”, es decir una teología primigenia que habría sido entregada al hombre desde los tiempos primordiales. La palabra “Prisca” proviene de priscus, que en latín significa “viejo”, es decir que estaríamos hablando de un conocimiento original incontaminado, fuertemente ligado al concepto de “Tradición Primordial” (Prisca Sapientia). El primero en usar el término fue Marsilio Ficino en el siglo XV, quien habló de la existencia de una serie de “teólogos primordiales” y de una “genealogía del conocimiento” con seis figuras decisivas.

Set in an otherworld consisting of endless galleries filled with enigmatic statues, Piranesi is the story of a man who lives alone -- or nearly alone -- in a dream labyrinth. As usual, our discussion leads to unexpected places every bit as strange as Clarke's setting, from Borge's infinite library and Lovecraft's alien cities to Renaissance Europe, where the art of memory was synonymous with wisdom and magic.

The New Year is my personal favorite holiday and the Renaissance is my favorite period of our history so here is my very special New Year's Greeting full of my Best Wishes and a Suggestion to Revisit our World with the eyes of the independent thinkers, artists, sculptors, and humanists that age to begin a Renaissance of Ideas of our own in 2021! There are many lessons and analogies we can draw from during our pandemic from the Renaissance Age in which ideas, art, science, philosophy and literature all flourished beginning with Giovanni Bocaccio's "Decameron" collection of 100 short stories from 10 people escaping the plague of their time, among others. Though the Renaissance ended centuries ago, it produced some marvels of the world which have since not been reproduced. For example, there is only one place in this world I have been to where I truly felt like I was a part of a live painting - at the Florence Dome (Cupola) of Brunelleschi. It is a perfect example of life intertwined with art. We have enjoyed tremendous innovative technologies in modern times and many golden ages of Greece, Holland, 19th Century France, or 1960's United States of America, but to this day, the Renaissance has left its distinct legacy that has been unsurpassed since in many regards as there are very few masterpieces of architecture, or few cities constructed since the Renaissance like Florence, Venice, or Mantova. There are few humanists such as Michelle de Montaigne from the Renaissance or Erasmus from Holland, or sculptors and painters of masterpieces such as the Sistine Chapel like Michelangelo, writers like Bocaccio, Petrarca, and independent thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci or Marsilio Ficino. In this video I highlight some of the root causes to explain why the Renaissance Age has withstood time and distinguished itself from other periods of history and the role of key figures of the period such as Lorenzo De Medici, the owner of the Medici Bank and financial mogul who did not just invest in a lot of talent at once, but intentionally inspired a vision of creating art, philosophy, and other works of art to build communities and cities that placed extraordinary value on: 1) TRUTH - searching for it regardless of religious convictions and theological background 2) BEAUTY - creating it for not just the private upper classes but making it accessible and approachable for the public 3) WISDOM - promoting the positive emotional, social, and intellectual drivers of the human condition and behavior such as compassion and empathy through architecture, philosophy, and fine arts. 4) PEACE - prioritizing practical values of community and stability, intellect, reason, short span of life, the role of legacy, and serenity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alloutcoach/support

In this episode we talk with Nicolas Weill-Parot about the “scientia imaginum”, that is, the manufacturing of talismans, often considered a part of the astrological elections. Nicolas Weill-Parot is a Historian of Science and professor at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes. He compares the attitudes of Thomas Aquinas and Albert the great on this matter and stresses the distinction between addressative and non-addressative talismans, that is, those created by a ritual containing “magic words” and those created by strictly “natural” means. The former were forbidden, because they were considered to represent a pact with the spiritual/demonic realm, while the latter were tolerated, even encouraged, as they represented a safe form of magic. The boundaries between these two concepts began to blur by the end of the fifteenth-century, and were eventually subverted by Marsilio Ficino’s Neoplatonistic philosophy. For details on Nicolas Weill-Parot work see https://ephe.academia.edu/NicolasWeillParot and https://www.ephe.psl.eu/ecole/nos-enseignants-chercheurs/nicolas-weill-parot.

Part of our summer webinar series on "Reason and Beauty in Renaissance Christian Thought and Culture," presented in collaboration with the American Cusanus Society In the humanist recovery and study of Platonic thought and texts, Marsilio Ficino (1433-99) was a brilliant luminary. He produced the first translation into Latin of all of Plato's texts and of Plotinus's Enneads, and he translated and commented on numerous other Platonic works. Ficino was also more than a scholar, he was also a philosopher and theologian whose network of students, friends, and correspondents extended far beyond his Florentine home. His philosophical thought fed early modern philosophy for generations but also raised questions of Ficino's orthodoxy. In this webinar, Professor Denis Robichaud (Notre Dame) will discuss Marsilio Ficino's humanist, philosophical, and theological thought.

This is a solo episode about the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, the most beautiful book in Venice. This mysterious volume was printed in Venice in 1499 by Aldus Manutius, with a typeface created by master punchcutter Francesco Griffo. Illustrated with 172 amazing woodcuts, it was written in a strange combination of Latin, Greek, and Italian. The illustrations also contain Hebrew, Arabic, and invented hieroglyphs. Nobody knows who the illustrator was, nor who wrote the book, but most scholars agree that it was Venetian Franciscian monk and priest Francesco Colonna. In this episode, I discuss the history of events leading up to the book, the nature of the book itself, and also possible influences the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili may have had on later European art, literature, and occult currents. Some of the topics I touch on are the 17th century Rosicrucian movement, the Renaissance Art of Memory, and 18th century Freemasonry. My research in this episode relies heavily on the previous work of two people. First, Joscelyn Godwin, musicologist, author, historian, and translator. He translated the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili into English for the first time in 1999, and was the translator and commentator of The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, which I reference in the show. Second is Efthymia Priki, Ph.D. in Byzantine Studies from University of Cyprus, who did extensive work researching the influences of the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili on works that came after it.

"All things feel," Pythagoas said. Panpsychism, the belief that consciousnes is a property of all things and not limited to the human brain, is back in vogue -- with good reason. The problem of how inert matter could give rise to subjectivity and feeling has proved insoluble under the dominant assumptions of a hard materialism. Recently, the American filmmaker Errol Morris presented his own brand of panpsychism in a long-form essay entitled, "The Pianist and the Lobster," published in the New York Times. The essay opens with an episode from the life of Sviatoslav Richter, namely a time where the famous Russian pianist couldn't perform without a plastic lobster waiting for him in the wings. In Morris's piece, the curious anecdote sounds the first note of what turns out to be a polyphony of thoughts and ideas on consciousness, agency, Nerval's image of the the "Hidden God," and the deep weirdness of music. Phil and JF use Morris's essay to create a polyphony of their own.

Teacher and independent scholar Ted Hand joins me in this episode for a deep dive into the angelology of Pico della Mirandola, followed by a crazy romp through the gnostic world of Philip K. Dick. It’s a dense episode, and (hold on to your hat!) it’s all connected! We follow Pico’s adventures through the Florentine Renaissance as he encounters translating superhero Marsilio Ficino, the mad monk Savonarola, and tragically doomed king Charles VIII, but our journey doesn’t stop there. In the late 20th century, our trip through gnosis and mysticism continues with PKD information that left me speechless! You’ll need your podcast safety glasses for this one, dear listeners. As a bonus, we also discuss Ted’s upcoming Philip K. Dick Tarot! Also, here’s where I was wrong: The Popes that Pico had to deal with are not Pius II and Alexander VII like I said, but instead Innocent VIII and Alexander VI. Who remembers their Popes? I’ll bet you don’t! Give me a break. Links Thrice Blessed Press The Alchemical Diagrams Blog Philip K. Dick Tarot at Wide Books Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arnemancy

Following the World Convention in Rome, join Grand Master Julie Scott, other Rosicrucians, and friends on this journey of a lifetime through Sacred Italy. As pilgrims in this mystical land, we will immerse ourselves in the world of the Sacred Feminine, of Francis of Assisi, the Pythagoreans, and the Neoplatonists, and will learn about many other traditions that have flourished here, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, and Normans. Together we will explore Assisi, Venice, Florence, Ostia, Cumae, Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, and then on to Sicily (with cultures dating back to pre-history), to visit Palermo, Taormina, Catania, Syracuse, Calanissetta, and Agrigento. In addition to its exceptional history and mysticism, we will also experience some of the most inspiring art and architecture in the world, its sacred symbolism, and the breathtaking beauty of this land.

Dr. Angela Voss and I discuss “A Methodology of the Imagination,” transformative learning, magical and divinatory ways of knowing, balancing the rational and the intuitive, scholarship as initiation, the personal daimon and the daimonic, and Marsilio Ficino’s astrological music therapy. Dr. Angela Voss is Programme Director for the MA in Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred at Canterbury Christ Church University. Previously she was the Director of the MA in the Cultural Study of Cosmology and Divination at Kent. As a graduate student, she was introduced to the writing of the Renaissance philosopher, musician and astrologer, Marsilio Ficino, and became thoroughly immersed in the world of 15th-17th century music and philosophy, then decided to embark on a PhD to explore Ficino’s astrological music therapy - her dissertation was titled: 'Music, Astrology and Magic: the astrological music therapy of Marsilio Ficino and his role as a Renaissance Magus’. She has published numerous papers on Ficino, as well as an edited collection of his astrological writings for North Atlantic Books, Western Esoteric Masters series, and is the author and editor of several other books, including Seeing with Different Eyes: Essays on Astrology and Divination, The Imaginal Cosmos: Astrology, Divination, and the Sacred, Daimonic Imagination: Uncanny Intelligence, and Re-enchanting the Academy. Angela is now moving deeper into the territory of symbolism and the imaginal, exploring statue-magic, the spiritual dimensions of music, and past-life therapy, ancient Greek mysteries and the metaphysics of divination. She is engaged in creating a framework for the MA within Transformative Learning, linking esoteric and wisdom traditions with soul-work and consciousness raising within the academy. -- Notes -- Dr. Voss on Academia - http://canterbury.academia.edu/AngelaVoss Myth, Cosmology, and the Sacred MA - https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/courses/postgraduate/myth-cosmology-and-the-sacred-19-20.aspx - Cover art/logo design by Jeff Wolfe Music by Poddington Bear

Renaissance Magick, largely and obviously defined by the time, the 15th and 16th Century. There were a few people who helped shape the ideas that would later influence all further generations of magicians - Henry Agrippa and Marsilio Ficino were two of the big ones. Agrippa's Of Magick is cited as one of the most influential works of occult literature according to many modern day magicians and witches. I dig into these people and the branching off of a period of time when science and magick parted ways instead of being considered in and of the same thing - knowledge and wisdom.
