Giuliano Pisani"L'ignoranza e la scelta"Etica per un'umanità disorientataRonzani Editorewww.ronzanieditore.itGli uomini hanno smarrito la conoscenza e sono in balia di una propaganda vile e abietta, di messaggi fuorvianti, folli, criminali. L'ingiustizia prepara terreni fertili alle sementi dell'odio. Il nemico mortale è l'ignoranza, l'amathia. È qui che attecchisce il fanatismo. La conoscenza dei fatti e la capacità di interrogarli possono cambiare il mondo. Abbiamo il dovere di provarci.L'etica si nutre di libertà. In una società disorientata come l'attuale, che impone ogni giorno scelte complesse, nessuno di noi può permettersi il lusso di non saper distinguere il bene dal male, di non saper tracciare un confine netto tra informazione, propaganda e manipolazione. Qual è il rischio dell'inconsapevolezza? L'ignoranza etica – l'amathia del pensiero greco – è agli antipodi dell'insegnamento socratico, che muove dal dubbio metodico (“so di non sapere”) e ha come fine il rispetto del primo motto delfico: “conosci te stesso”, che interroga il nostro ruolo sociale e ci mette in condizione di prendere decisioni. L'amathès, convinto di sapere ciò che non sa, è facile preda di ideologie e alienazioni e mina alla base, con la sua acriticità, l'obiettivo sociale per definizione: la pacifica convivenza. Come evitare, ciascuno di noi, di cadere vittima della stessa sirena? È lungo il lavoro da fare per riuscire a costruire un nuovo modo di pensare che ci configuri comunità consapevole; ma sarà bene provarci, tenendo a mente che essere coerenti non significa vedere sempre le cose nello stesso modo, ma agire in conformità a ciò che è giusto e doveroso in quel preciso momento, di fronte a quella specifica scelta.Giuliano PisaniFilologo classico e storico dell'arte, è autore di studi, edizioni e traduzioni dal greco e dal latino (Platone, Plutarco, Marsilio Ficino). Ha fornito un'interpretazione innovativa della Cappella degli Scrovegni (I volti segreti di Giotto, Milano, Rizzoli, 2008; La rivoluzione di Giotto, Milano, Skira, 2020) individuandone la chiave di lettura negli scritti di Sant'Agostino.

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.

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. He is the author of multiple influential works on imagination and religious experience.

Thank you all for joining me for this episode as we swan dive head first deep into the abyss that is the Corpus Hermeticum! 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 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. The hymns are magical, invoking the past as the eternal present and inspiring a prismatic vision of the divine. Many decades of research and experiments inspired The Magic of the Orphic Hymns. In their early 20's, Tamra and Ronnie were mentored by the legendary, Manly P. Hall. And when they were asked to help him with a republication of the Orphic Hymns, they fell in love with these ancient rituals. In this interview, Ronnie and I discuss:How an OG episode of Star Trek inspired Ronnie's first religious experience. Why the Orphic Hymns have been called “the most powerful form of magic.”Personal stories of real magical results from the Orphic hymns. How Aeolian Heart was born from an Orphic ritualHow the magic of the Orphic Hymns gave birth to the RenaissanceThe Orphic Hymns and Marsilio Ficino.Orpheus with a thousand faces: a savior, hero, coward and narcissistOrpheus' underworld journey and its symbolism.Orpheus' legacy and impact on written history. How Orpheus has always been countercultural How Orpheus inspired Christianity What Orphic initiates believed about death and the after-life.Why the phrase: “I am the child of earth and starry-heaven” is the password to eternity.Enjoy! If you want to learn more about Tamra and Ronnie, please listen to my other interviews with them. Click here to listen to Tamra and I discuss her exquisite memoir, Making the Ordinary Extraordinary. Click here to listen to Ronnie discuss his epic tome: American Metaphysical Religion: Esoteric and Mystical Traditions of the New World Support the showSupport the show at https://www.patreon.com/aeolianheart

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. Towards the end, we touch on the philosophical and the technical components within Hermetics.

Acuñó el término amor socrático (o platónico) para definir el amor homosexual masculino, pero luego la homofobia llegó con el discursito de la sodomía y blanquearon el concepto para heterosexualizarlo... sorprendente, verdad?

What does reading, learning and contemplating have to do with living a good life? We talk about fortune telling, manifesting, humanism, philosophy, devotion, debate and different kinds of knowledge in early modern Europe. Was it better to be a scholar or lead a more active, practical life? This episode's examples are an English treatise in defence of women's education that encourages women to equip themselves with suitable knowledge to be useful to their husbands and children and a letter by an Italian philosopher about the joy of convivial academic discussion.

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.

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. He is the author of one of the foundational books on the history of talismans: Weill-Parot, Nicolas, Les “Images astrologiques” au moyen âge et à la Renaissance (XIIe-XIVe siècle), Paris 2002.

"Michelangelo's Piazza del Campidoglio" David M. Aguilera, FRC, PhD, ABPP, from the "Mystical Italy" issue of the Rosicrucian Digest Michelangelo's magnificent design for the Piazza del Campidoglio on Rome's Capitoline Hill was only completed in the 1940s.
