Register today to experience Ike Baker live at the 3rd Annual Dee & Kelly Conference ONLINE & IN-PERSON this November 6-8th. Join a private workshop, not even recorded or streamed and learn theurgy in a private setting with him in a small group setting. He will also be delivering a Presentation in person and via zoom to all online attendees. It is going to be the biggest event of its kind ever! https//www.EnochiaCon.com

Ike Baker joins us to discuss theurgy, the imaginal realm, and his new book Esoteric Mythology. Learn to integrate these concepts.

In this session, Ike Baker shares his unique approach to theurgy, detailing how he uses the quadrivium and geometric contemplation to elevate the mind. We explore his writing process, the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien, and how his work serves as a way to organize thoughts and inspirations regarding the cosmos and the soul.

We also cover the practical application of magic, specifically analyzing the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram as a reenactment of cosmogony. By examining Moina Mathers’ manuscript notes and the imaginal realm as an organ of spiritual perception, we clarify how to maintain a stable realization of unity within multiplicity. This discussion provides a framework for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Gnostic philosophy and the path of gnosis.

Subscribe for weekly Hermetic philosophy breakdowns, and tell us in the comments which part of the Geometric Theoria workshop resonates with your practice.

The system of Enochian magick, discovered and developed by John Dee and Edward Kelley in the 1500s, has fascinated ritual magicians for centuries. Enochian magick played a prominent role in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its successors, and Aleister Crowley attained many of his greatest mystical insights and initiatory successes using the system.

In this modern application of the approach known as “scrying the Aethyrs”, noted magician, psychologist, teacher, and author Dr. David Shoemaker presents his visionary experiences with the Aethyrs, as well as a practical approach to obtaining your own visions. This book is an essential text for anyone interested in the Enochian system.

"Dr. Shoemaker is not only a mature and competent practitioner of Enochian magical techniques, but is also possessed with the eloquence and insight to share what is 'shareable' of his intensely personal journey. My highest recommendation." --Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Enochian Vision Magick

Tonight we talk to an actual living Adept and survivor of KABBALAH MAGIC & THE GREAT WORK OF TRANSFORMATION as he shares his experience of thinking he was dedicating years to learning and mastering the Golden Dawn system of initiation via Lyam Thomas Christopher's wildly popular guide to self-initiation. But initiation into what? Does his system create GD Adepti or does it lead somewhere else, and follow and entirely different map? Find out tonight with Special Guests Frater RC and Jorge Quinones.

Demonology As Devourment Without A Devourer by Oren Ben Yosef 

Out Now: https://amzn.to/3V3Qtx1

What if demons aren’t mythological beings but structural presences coded into our technologies, our stories, and ourselves?

Watch the full live episode: https://youtube.com/live/F7IKcKJYVkg

Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer is neither a grimoire of evil spirits, nor a catalog of arcane names - it is a philosophical descent into the abyss that is the devouring logic of the demonic. In these pages, demonology becomes more than the mere study of demons; it becomes a theory of hunger, destruction, possession, and transformation. Through close readings of movies such as The Matrix, Constantine, and John Wick, as well as the Black Mirror series and other contemporary cultural texts, this book redefines demonology as the study of devourment: how systems consume their users, how messages erase their media, how reality is overwritten by simulation. Drawing from philosophy, theology, occult studies, and contemporary culture, this book reimagines the demonic not as an external evil but as a force that gnaws at human limits. The demon is no longer a mere symbol - it is a method, a rupture, a technology that unmakes and remakes the subject. The demon emerges not from hell but from feedback loops, virtual doubles, and machines that rewrite human desire. These are not beings of fire and brimstone - they are the operators of rules, the agents of erasure, the avatars of entropy. Philosophical, unsettling, and timely, Demonology as Devourment offers not an exorcism but a diagnosis. The demons have returned - wearing new skins.

Been saying I'd do this with you for years now...let's go!

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley https://amzn.to/4qY1bB6 Frater R.C. reads from The Confessions of Aleister Crowley, the notorious occultist’s sprawling autobiography, exploring Crowley’s own account of his life, magical career, Thelema, ceremonial magick, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, mysticism, scandal, spiritual experimentation, and his self-fashioned identity as “The Great Beast 666.” 

This reading series approaches Crowley in his own words, placing The Confessions of Aleister Crowley within the wider history of Western esotericism, Hermeticism, occultism, ritual magic, and the magical revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley offers an intimate look at the occultist's life, career, and spiritual evolution.

By grounding The Confessions of Aleister Crowley in the broader history of Western esotericism, we better understand the foundations of Thelema and the development of modern ceremonial magick. This discussion is designed for students seeking to place these classic texts within the historical framework of the magical revival.

Robert Podgurski has been writing about magic and practicing the art as well as investigating literature. As part of his magical practices Robert has employed various yogic disciplines, qui gong along with technical mountaineering as part of his syncresis for over two decades. 

From his perspective poetry, magic, art, climbing and mysticism are all part and parcel of consciousness exploration.

The Sacred Alignments and Sigils, North Atlantic Books, 2019 is one of the most recent manifestations of his life-long project(ive)s. In this work Podgurski establishes a practical as well as a scholarly reference for the relationship between sigils, symbols, and writing as an extension of the visionary magical field.

As a continuation of this operation Podgurski is launching his forthcoming work, Enochian Sigil Magic prospectively in 2026-27, with Inner Traditions. This monograph encompasses the history of the aethyr in western consciousness as a the vehicle of the soul up to and including the current era. He also establishes the implementation of theurgy and spontaneous magical practices for engaging the aetheric medium in this study. As a primary starting point his research for this book has relied upon Dee’s own annotations within certain seminal Neoplatonic texts from his library. 

 Podgurski has also authored of several works in poetry that are extensions of his engagement with magic. His most recent collection In the Shadow of This Branch, Dos Madres Press was released in 2024. Along with poetry Podgurski has also authored fiction including his forthcoming novel, Beyond the Lens of Time. He holds an BS in Psychology form the University of Pittsburgh, and a MA in literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Praise For Robert's Work

“Podgurski’s work is a tour de force of magical self-examination—an eloquently composed and elegantly presented treatise deserving the attention of every student of modern magick.”

   — Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Enochian Vision Magick

"Magick practitioner Podgurski (Wandering on Course) presents a deeply personal system of sigils and rituals discovered through years of practice in this thorough handbook...Drawing from the work of intellectuals and practitioners before him, such as Aleister Crowley, John Dee, and Carl Jung, Podgurski includes text and illustrations from both historic esoteric texts and the author’s own journals."

   — Publishers Weekly 

“As in Derek Jarman’s great film Jubilee, John Dee invents time travel and arrives in our century. Slyly he rewrites the Enochian Calls—and the result is this book.”

   — Peter Lamborn Wilson, author of Cauda Pavonis: Esoteric Antinomianism in Yezidi Tradition

“The publication of Podgurski’s Grid Sigil in an accessible format should be welcomed both by practitioners and aficionados of ceremonial magic, and all fields of inquiry where the ontological status of nonhuman ‘persons’ quite generally is of concern.”

   — From the foreword by Charles Stein, author of Persephone Unveiled

I enjoyed both the book Strange Angel, and, in fact, the two season show as well. It was good enough for me to enjoy though I certainly respect the critiques from actual Thelemites. Let's look at the popular history and see what facts we can find and what myths continue to be spread. See you soon!

While he was a brilliant engineer instrumental in the founding of JPL and Aerojet, his personal life in Pasadena was defined by occult practices and intense rituals.

We examine the historical intersection between his scientific contributions and his bizarre association with the founder of Scientology. This breakdown is for anyone interested in the darker, lesser-known corners of aerospace history and the eccentric figures who shaped modern rocketry.

EDITED. Unedited EPISODE Here. thank you for 5,555 subs...we hit it this month while discussing, analyzing and giving advice on our favourite form of MAGICK! EnochiaCon 2026 (Nov 6-8) https://www.arcaneresearchsociety.com

Ceremonial, also called ritual magick, isn't stage tricks or Hollywood spellcasting — it's a structured system of ritual, symbol, and self-development with roots in the Hermetic and Golden Dawn traditions. In this video, we break down what ceremonial magick actually is, how it differs from witchcraft and folk magic, and the real path people take to study it seriously.

If you've been searching for where to learn ceremonial magick beyond scattered YouTube clips and forum threads, the Arcane Research Society runs structured Hermetic Spirituality and Golden Dawn training — both online and in person.

We're also gearing up for EnochiaCon 2026 (Nov 6–8, Austin, TX) — a gathering for serious students of Enochian and ceremonial magick, with the option to attend live in Austin or join online from anywhere.

One of my very favourite teachers returns after far too long a time.... David Chaim Smith has brought to us an old school of Kabbalah, the Fountain of Wisdom and new perspectives on what kabbalah seen through his esoteric cartography charts for us. THIS will be a very informal live podcast and hangout with David and will especially focus on Questions from YOU...my beautiful audience. I know it's bright and early 8am on the West Coast. BUT hopefully worth setting your alarm ;)

A fearless deep dive into mystical Kabbalah, visionary practice, contemplation, magic, consciousness, and the radical transformation demanded by the genuine spiritual path.

David’s work does not decorate the surface of mysticism. It tears open the architecture beneath it. David Chaim Smith is a practitioner of contemplative mysticism who documents his exploratory work in a rare visual form called Esoteric Cartography. This style of graphic notation arose in 2006 as an amalgamation of Hermetic Qabbalah, Hebrew Kabbalah, Spiritual Alchemy, and wisdom from a variety of non-dual sources. On the surface, the work lives exclusively within the symbolic language of the Western Esoteric Tradition, but below the surface it serves some rarely investigated elements. One of the main influences is a radical interpretation of the devotional Kabbalah of Chassidut, which quite naturally blends with Hermetic Qabbalah because both traditions share the same root axioms. 

This is quite an unusual synergy because the dominant view that characterizes the work is decidedly non-theistic.

This took ages but was much requested, and it took a long time. Hope this helps clarify how Neogenesis by Morgue is not aligned with the Hermetic spirituality of the GD. Full unedited, you can also watch the video version on my yt.

The Way of Hermes continues...

The Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP) — the most foundational ritual in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn tradition — broken down step by step, and why most tutorials get it wrong.

Ceremonial magick isn't stage tricks or Hollywood spellcasting — it's a structured system of ritual, symbol, and self-development with roots in the Hermetic and Golden Dawn traditions. In this breakdown we cover the Kabbalistic Cross, pentagram banishing, divine names, visualization, vibration, and how the LBRP differs from the LIRP — with an honest look at historical accuracy and why it matters when studying these practices.

Let's find out together!! Did W.B. Yeats Invent the Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot? Roger Parisious on Waite’s Hidden Code: An introduction presents Roger Parisious, an archivist of Yeats materials, who delivers a talk making two major claims about the Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot and A.E. Waite’s writings. Roger Parisious argues Waite’s 1909–1915 tarot-related publications form a deliberate coded scheme, including distinctions between The Key to the Tarot and The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the pseudonymous Manual of Cartomancy, Waite’s December 1909 article “The Tarot of Wheel of Fortune,” and The Book of Destiny. He claims W.B. Yeats was a hidden collaborator and co-creator of the tarot pack, and that the deck functions as a rotating “great wheel” and a Grail/Arthurian memorial system, with court and trump correspondences and dance-like geometric patterns (circles, squares, chessboard, knight’s moves) traced through sources such as Charles Williams and John O’Neill’s The Night of the Gods.

From the Golden Dawn Underhill took her hermetic training and used it to resuscitate Christian Mysticism in the Church of England. Let's see what Golden Dawn practices she smuggled into Anglo-Catholic Spirituality! What happened when one of Christianity's greatest mystics immersed herself in the world of ceremonial magic?

Long before Evelyn Underhill became famous for Mysticism and Practical Mysticism, she moved within London's occult revival and wrote one of the most extraordinary esoteric novels of the twentieth century: The Column of Dust (1909).

In this livestream we'll journey through both The Column of Dust and Practical Mysticism, tracing Underhill's remarkable transformation from the language of ritual circles, Pentagrams, Hebrew Divine Names, grimoires, and ceremonial evocation toward the interior path of contemplation, union with Reality, and the spiritual life.

We'll read directly from both books, explore Underhill's descriptions of ceremonial magic, compare them with historical Golden Dawn practice, and ask:

• How much authentic Golden Dawn symbolism appears in The Column of Dust?

• Did Underhill reject ceremonial magic...or transcend it?

• How did ritual become contemplation?

• What remained unchanged throughout her entire spiritual journey?

We'll also examine Underhill's timeless teaching that:

"Mysticism is the art of union with Reality."

Topics include:

🔹 Evelyn Underhill and the Golden Dawn

🔹 The Column of Dust

🔹 Practical Mysticism

🔹 Ritual circles, Pentagrams & Words of Power

🔹 Eliphas Lévi and ceremonial magic

🔹 Mysticism versus occultism

🔹 Contemplation and spiritual transformation

🔹 The evolution of one of the twentieth century's greatest mystical thinkers

Whether you're interested in Hermeticism, the Golden Dawn, Christian mysticism, Western esotericism, or the contemplative life, this livestream explores one of the most fascinating spiritual journeys in modern history.

Important note: The Column of Dust is a novel, not Evelyn Underhill's autobiography. However, it was written during her early involvement with the occult revival and contains remarkably authentic descriptions of ceremonial magic, making it an invaluable window into the spiritual and esoteric atmosphere that preceded her later works such as Mysticism and Practical Mysticism.

Frater RC Versus The Golden Dawn: Where I review the latest viral video on the Golden Dawn that came out on YouTube this week to see if it takes history seriously or is continues the propaganda campaign against magical orders and their work.

Explore the history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its influence on esoteric traditions. Learn how figures like Aleister Crowley and WB Yeats shaped this influential society.

Reacting to Golden Dawn ‘Wizard Duel’ Lore, Announcing a Hermetic Book Club, and Promoting Upcoming Austin Events

The host begins by realizing an earlier false live start, shares a sunny-day check-in, and announces a forthcoming book club to read one page a day and discuss monthly on Zoom while comparing translations of the Hermetica for spiritual formation. They react to a comedic history video about Aleister Crowley, W.B. Yeats, and the Golden Dawn “wizard duel,” repeatedly correcting what they describe as major inaccuracies about Golden Dawn history, structure, sources, and John Dee/Enochian material, noting the incident ended with police rather than magical combat. The stream then plays and critiques a “cringe” Golden Dawn 101 video by Georgina Rose, disputing claims about Golden Dawn lineage, self-initiation, Thelema, tools, and curriculum, while adding commentary on publishing, scholarship, and esoteric history. The host promotes Dr. M. David Litwa’s Gnosis Academy and Hermetic Bible, mentions upcoming Arcane Research Society events (In Enochia Con and spring workshops) in Austin, and invites viewers to register and participate.

Big news and fun reflections on our A.R.S. Spring Workshops last week in Austin, Texas. Frater R.C. returns to Canada after 10 days in Austin, Texas, describing the city as lush, vibrant, and friendlier than Vancouver, and announces he has signed a multi-year lease there so his business is now based in Austin. He demonstrates a new two-camera setup, gifts channel memberships, and promotes free/paid offerings including HermeticMysterySchool.com and the Enochian course (enochiangrimoire.com), plus a planned live Enochian operation. He recaps Arcane Research Society production upgrades (multiple 4K cameras, expanded AV team), thanks collaborators like Jason Louv, and outlines upcoming events: the annual spring Austin event renamed “MagiCon” (April, broad “art of magic” focus, aiming to grow into a castle venue), and the biggest “EnochiaCon” yet in Austin in November with expanded in-person workshops (e.g., Terry Burns, Craig Williams, Dr. David Hill, Temple Louv, and his LBRP masterclass), plus Prague in 2027.

He contrasts U.S. vs. Canadian costs (especially groceries), discusses major improvement in long-term psoriasis via a strict no-sugar/no-carb diet, weight loss, and reluctance to take immune-suppressing medications, and reflects on how illness affected his social life. He addresses critiques of Liam Christopher’s Golden Dawn-related material as a different system that can confuse students, while not wanting to “trash” him. The stream includes an Austin souvenir (a lapis lazuli heart lamp), a book haul and reviews—highlighting M. David Litwa’s Hermes (including deluxe editions), a JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh, William James’s Varieties of Religious Experience, Frazer’s Golden Bough, Pico’s Oration, a rare Yeats Shadowy Waters manuscript study, and a Vampire: The Masquerade encyclopedia gift—plus brief Yeats readings, roleplaying discussion, and closing plans for future streams and a DruidCraft tarot session.

Joseph L. Flatley is a journalist living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who specializes in conspiracy culture. He’s spoken with (and written about) Jonestown survivors, realtors for deluxe doomsday bunkers, and Julian Assange, to name only a few. His stories have appeared in a number of publications, including The Verge, Pando, and CounterPunch. Joseph will be presenting live at EnochiaCon 2026 in Austin, Texas and his new book THE OCCULT TIMOTHY LEARY has just been released from Inner Traditions. Get it today: https://amzn.to/3Pv5buR (Only 19.99) Explore the esoteric knowledge and experiences of the psychedelic pioneer • Reveals Leary’s immersion in the Western occult tradition, his Eight Circuit Model of consciousness, and his theories on post-terrestrial human evolution • Details Leary’s tarot deck by looking at its unique card order, astrological correspondences, and practical uses for divination • Describes Leary’s encounters with figures such as Ram Dass and Robert Anton Wilson as well as revolutionary groups like the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers Timothy Leary, American psychologist and countercultural icon, is well known for his advocacy of psychedelic drugs and controversial experiments on human consciousness. What is less well known is his deep interest in Western esotericism, a dimension that Joseph L. Flatley explores in-depth. Flatley recounts Leary’s early life and career trajectory, highlighting the esoteric influences that informed his occult activities as well as his thoughts on reincarnation and his futuristic views of computers and human evolution. Readers will learn about Leary’s encounters with 20th-century groups and figures like Ram Dass, the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and Robert Anton Wilson, all of whom influenced his psychic explorations and the development of his eight-circuit model for understanding altered states of consciousness and the potential for transcendent experiences. Flatley also details the role of the tarot in Leary’s life and philosophy, showing how Leary created his own version of the deck, which is featured in this book. Flatley then reveals the correspondences between Leary’s deck and his eight-circuit model of consciousness and guides readers on how to use this tarot for divination.

Ayurveda Rahasya: Ayurvedic Alchemy for Spiritual Transformation

 The Indian science of medicine, Ayurveda, has a vast array of tools for physical, psychological, and spiritual health. The branch of Ayurvedic spiritual medicine, Daiva Vyapashraya Chikitsa, provides important practices for all types of esoteric practitioners. Rarely discussed in the West, this branch of spiritual medicine connects the Indian sciences of Tantra, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) and provides an alchemical vision of karma, health, and spiritual transformation.

Aghora Dashan: Vision of the Inner Smashan

The esoteric path of Aghora Marga offers sobering and unique perspectives on the radiant potential of the death experience. The fear of death is perhaps the greatest fear which haunts the minds of individuals resulting in a wide array of delusional behaviors and fear-based illusions. This talk with present key ideas from Tantra and Yoga for psychological healing and preparation for the spiritual womb of Death.

Williams is a licensed acupuncturist (L.Ac.) and certified Ayurvedic practitioner based in Austin, Texas, who runs a private medical practice called Ayurveda Austin: http://www.ayurvedaaustin.com

Dr Felix John Taylor has released a book on the GD...let's see what he says about it as I do my first read over of the contents! 

Get his new book today: here: https://amzn.to/42hVvX6

A full-­length narrative history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the esoteric society at the center of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century rise of the occult.

Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-­garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Founded in London in the 1880s by Freemasons, it was the world’s most famous secret society. In this fresh and invigorating narrative history, Felix John Taylor recounts its rise and fall through those for whom the Order represented both an alternative to traditional Victorian religious values and a space for imaginative exploration.

Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors, and visual artists to its ranks, including W. B. Yeats and Aleister Crowley, as well as lesser-­known key figures. It envisioned a "golden age" of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals—­class and gender were no barriers to entry—and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection guided its ten hierarchical "grades."

While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at times more an arts club or society of writers. Political schisms and sex scandals ensured that it was short-lived, yet for many members its occult practices came to determine the nature of their work and influence the wider culture over a much longer period.

The Golden Dawn, with its influence on Wicca and modern magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present day occult revival. This visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history uncovers these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.

Paola & Nick Farrell on Golden Dawn Practice, Pagan Integration, and Their Occult Training Substack

Frater RC welcomes Paola and Nick Farrell to the Magic Without Fears Hermetic Podcast, noting Paola’s first podcast appearance and promoting Nick’s upcoming Complete Geomancy release and their Lord Manticore’s Occult Training Substack. 

Paola recounts early spiritual experiences, dissatisfaction with dubious groups, strong Catholic surroundings in Rome, and an unexpected 2007 initiation at the Nottingham Temple through contacts connected to the Ciceros, describing the Golden Dawn as a complete, challenging framework. 

Nick describes their 14-year collaborative work building a vault, Paola’s pivotal artwork, and adapting Golden Dawn practice by emphasizing candidate-focused ritual, internal godform construction, and integrating Greco-Roman deities without altering core structures. 

They discuss ritual authenticity, common Golden Dawn shortcuts, group dynamics, regalia’s limited importance versus officer skill, Paola’s turn toward practical gnostic research, and the Substack’s mix of free and paid, research-based and practical articles.
