#4 -Bridging Academia & Esotericism, Configurations of the Tree of Life & Reconstructing Tradition | Dr Justin Sledge

This week we're joined by Dr Justin Sledge of Esoterica! Justin has been a great resource, continually putting out top notch, academic material on esotericism and occultism. We jumped on and talked all about how the field of academia is becoming more receptive to occult studies, how to go about studying the grimoire tradition from a historical perspective & the importance of knowing your sources' history. We dive into some great discussions about the nature of Kabbalah, the configuration of the Sephiroth, and what happens when good scholarship leaves a vacuum in public consciousness.

#3 - Magick uses the scientific method, summoning Goetic spirits, the Ceremonial Arte and why you should learn it | Stephen Skinner

Join us this week for what is probably one of my most favourite authors and occultists in recent history, Dr Stephen Skinner. Stephen's work has spanned decades and has contributed immensely to the Western Ceremonial Tradition. In this episode we discuss magick's use of the scientific method, the transmission of methods from the Greco-Egyptian Magical Papyri into the Solomonic Grimoires, Mystery Traditions and Stephen's own approaches and theories on Ceremonial Magic and how spirits can manifest and grant results.
As we draw to a close we compare experiences and find some rather startling common ground!
