Allan Kardecs Spiritism Angelas Symposium 2024-10-13 | Let's dive into the life and work of Allan Kardec, the founder of Spiritism, exploring the philosophy, history, and impact of this 19th-century movement. Kardec, a French educator, sought to bridge the gap between spirituality and science by codifying Spiritism—a system based on communication with spirits, reincarnation, and moral evolution. We examine his key works, including The Spirits' Book and The Mediums' Book, and discuss Spiritism’s influence on French intellectual circles and its rapid growth in Brazil, where it evolved into a major religious movement.Join me as we explore how Kardec’s Spiritism offers answers to profound existential questions, the nature of the spirit world, and the ethical framework it provides for understanding human suffering and inequality. The episode also touches on Spiritism’s connections to broader esoteric traditions and modern occult movements.Check out the ReligionSpook collab at @TheEsotericaChannel and @LetsTalkReligion CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥BIBLIOGRAPHY 📚Hanegraaff, W.

What are the Larvae? A History of the Occult Larva Angelas Symposium 2024-10-06 | 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.Join our ReligionSpook season in collab with @TheEsotericaChannel and @LetsTalkReligion CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥REFERENCES 📚 (more on screen)MacCulloch, J.A.

Thélème to Thelema: Rabelais’ Influence on Crowley Angelas Symposium 2024-09-29 | Learn about the fascinating connection between François Rabelais' Gargantua and Aleister Crowley's Thelema. In Gargantua, Rabelais introduces the Abbey of Thélème, a utopian society governed by the motto 'Fay ce que vouldras' ('Do what you will'). This principle would later inspire Crowley's central Thelemic tenet, 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' Learn how Rabelais' Renaissance humanism, satire, and vision of personal freedom profoundly influenced Crowley's esoteric philosophy, bridging the gap between literature and occult spirituality.LINKS TO THE INTERNATIONAL THELEMIC SYMPOSIUM www.visible-college.org/videos to purchase other talkswww.thelemic-symposium.co.uk to book for next year.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥BIBLIOGRAPHY 📚Bowen, Barbara C., 1966.

Qliphotic Magic explained with@TheEsotericaChannel Angelas Symposium 2024-09-20 | This episode explores the concept of the Qliphoth, tracing its evolution from Jewish mysticism to modern occult practices. It begins by distinguishing between the traditional Kabbalistic understanding of the Klippot and the reinterpreted Qliphoth in Hermetic Qabalah. We then delve into the historical emergence and theological significance of the Klippot in Kabbalah, particularly within the Zohar and Lurianic Kabbalah.The focus then shifts to integrating Qliphothic elements into modern occultism, especially within Left-Hand Path traditions. We examine the contributions of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant, and Thomas Karlsson in redefining and expanding the understanding and application of Qliphothic magic. We highlight various practices, such as invocation, sigil magic, pathworking, and shadow work, that practitioners employ to engage with the Qliphoth for personal transformation and spiritual growth.WATCH DR SLEDGE'S VIDEO youtu.be/WHj9PwTWHiUMY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥BIBLIOGRAPHY 📚Dan, J.

Medieval Grimoires with Andrea Franchetto Angelas Symposium 2024-09-16 | In this episode, we engage in a scholarly discussion with Andrea Franchetto, a specialist in medieval esoteric manuscripts. The focus of our conversation is the critique of the term "grimoire" as traditionally applied to medieval magical texts. Andrea argues that this designation might not adequately capture the complexity and diversity of these documents. We explore an alternative typology that more accurately categorises these manuscripts according to their specific contents, purposes, and historical contexts. Andrea introduces recent academic findings that promise to enhance our understanding of medieval magical practices. This dialogue is essential for scholars and enthusiasts alike who are interested in the historical and academic nuances of esoteric manuscripts. We invite you to join us in this enlightening exploration of medieval texts as we reassess the terminology and classifications that have long been taken for granted in the study of historical magic. ABOUT OUR GUEST Andrea Franchetto is a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Religions at Stockholm University. His research examines late medieval learned magic through a spatial lens, focusing on the design and construction of ritual spaces, the material culture of magic, and its efficacy. Franchetto holds an MSc in Architecture from Politecnico di Milano (2016) and a Research MA in Religious Studies from the University of Amsterdam, specializing in Western Esotericism (2019). He has developed and teaches the course "Magic in the European History of Religions: Texts and Traditions" (7.5 ECTS) and supervises undergraduate students in the History of Religions. His PhD dissertation will be defended in October 2024.Link to his dissertation su.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A1894251&dswid=-4219 CONNECT & SUPPORT💖 MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/course WEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletter BOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/services BECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapuca SUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapuca ONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposium JOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/join MY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86 MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.com FOLLOW ME👣 - YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟 - Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸 - TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵 - Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦 - Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥 00:00:00 Support Angela’s Symposium00:01:39 Meet Andrea Franchetto00:04:00 Andrea Franchetto’s PhD research - Grimoires00:11:39 Rituals in Magical Texts00:14:32 The Meaning of Sublunary00:15:33 Natural Magic vs Demonic Magic00:21:24 Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Magic in the Middle Ages00:32:18 Viewer Question: Sacred v Profane in Medieval Magic00:39:59 Viewer Question: Heliocentricity in Grimoires00:41:37 Viewer Question: Sacralisation in Magic Practice00:43:21 Perennialism – Scholar v Academic Perspectives00:47:01 Astral Magic Rituals in Magical Texts from the Middle Ages00:54:52 The Influence of Islam and Al-Kindi00:59:46 Why Summon Demons Instead of Angels?01:03:19 Interacting with Angels in Magic Rituals01:07:42 The Use of the Almandal in Medieval Ritual Magic01:14:01 Andrea Franchetto’s Recommended Reading01:22:04 Where to find Andrea Franchetto Online01:22:26 Support Angela’s Symposium⚠️ Copyright of Dr Angela Puca, in all of its parts ⚠️ Music by Erose MusicBand.

Bardon's seminal trilogy—"Initiation Into Hermetics" (1956), "The Practice of Magical Evocation" (1956), and "The Key to the True Quabbalah" (1957)—provides a comprehensive guide to his unique approach to Hermetic magic, which emphasizes self-mastery, elemental equilibrium, and spiritual transformation.The episode analyzes Bardon's step-by-step methodology for developing the practitioner's mental, astral, and physical faculties, as well as his innovative interpretation of the Hermetic principles of correspondence and analogy. It also examines Bardon's syncretic integration of Eastern and Western spiritual practices, such as yoga, alchemy, and Kabbalah, into a universal system adaptable to various esoteric paths.NOTE: There is some confusion about the spelling of Kabbalah, Qabbalah, Cabala, Quabbalah and what they refer to. For the scope of this video, here are the meanings assigned to the various spellings:Kabbalah: Jewish mystical tradition focused on divine wisdom and Torah interpretation.Qabbalah: Occult and Hermetic versions integrated into Western esotericism, often used for magical purposes.Quabbalah: Practical magical tradition focusing on the use of sound and letters, associated with Franz Bardon.It has come to my attention that recent editions of "The True Key to Quabbalah" have changed the title to "The True Key to Kabbalah." I assume this change is for marketing purposes, but it contradicts Bardon's own use of the term in the German Language's first edition, "Die Schlüssel zur wahren Quabbalah."CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comBIBLIOGRAPHY 📚Primary Sources: Bardon, F.

From Self to Cosmos: Gurdjieffs Vision in Beelzebub’s Tales Angelas Symposium 2024-09-01 | We focus on George Ivanovich Gurdjieff's seminal work, Beelzebub’s Tales to His Grandson, a part of his trilogy All and Everything. This text provides deep insights into Gurdjieff’s understanding of spiritual progress and offers a unique perspective on self-identity within the context of self-spirituality and Western esotericism. Through the narrative, Gurdjieff presents a cosmological model known as the "Ray of Creation" and introduces the concept of the "Kundabuffer", a unique organ implanted in humans to distort their perception of reality.Furthermore, the episode explores how Gurdjieff's ideas on the necessity of conscious effort for spiritual development contrast starkly with modern passive existences, where individuals react automatically to external stimuli. His teachings emphasize the transformative potential of embracing rigorous self-examination and disciplined spiritual practices.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥REFERENCES 📚Maltabarova, M.

Golden Dawn Magic - Ancient or Modern? Angelas Symposium 2024-08-25 | Let's talk about the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Was their magic truly a break from the past, or did it have roots in much older traditions? Let’s find out.In the late 19th century, the Golden Dawn emerged as a beacon of the Western esoteric tradition, introducing what many considered novel magical practices. But a closer look reveals a different story. Today, we base our discussion on a critical examination of Alison Butler's influential thesis, positing that the Golden Dawn was a modern innovator using active visualization techniques and unmediated invocation methods. However, recent scholarship, particularly a study by Christopher A. Plaisance, challenges this view, suggesting these practices might not be as novel as once thought.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥REFERENCES 📚Plaisance, C.A.

Materialist Magic in LaVeyan Atheistic Witchcraft Angelas Symposium 2024-07-14 | Welcome to exploring Anton LaVey's unique approach to magic in LaVeyan Satanism, known as "materialist magic" or "atheistic witchcraft." This approach diverges from traditional magic by grounding itself in naturalism and atheism, emphasizing human psychology and actions over supernatural forces.In this episode, we'll discuss the core principles of LaVeyan magic, which includes using rituals as psychodrama to align one’s conscious and subconscious toward specific goals. LaVey advocated that all "magical" phenomena can be explained by natural laws, and central to his teaching is the belief that focused intent and willpower can shape personal and environmental outcomes without any supernatural intervention.In practice, LaVeyan Satanism uses rituals involving symbolic actions that resonate with personal goals to influence the practitioner's psyche and behaviour, with the effectiveness of these rituals lying in their capacity to induce psychological change.We'll delve deeper into how LaVeyan Satanism redefines traditional magical practices, emphasizing empirical and psychological approaches to achieving personal goals.

Babalon explained: The Feminine Divine in Thelema Angelas Symposium 2024-07-07 | Let's delve deep into the mystical and symbolic world of Babalon, a central figure within Thelema, the spiritual philosophy developed by Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. Babalon, often referred to as the Great Mother, the Sacred Wh*re, or the Liberatrix, embodies profound aspects of the divine feminine, sexual liberation, and spiritual transcendence.We explore her multifaceted roles and meanings within Thelemic cosmology, where she complements cosmic entities such as Nuit, the sky goddess, and Hadit, the point of infinite possibilities. As a figure of both creation and destruction, Babalon's imagery is rich with symbols like the "Cup of Abominations," which she uses to transform base material into spiritual gold, epitomizing the alchemical process at the heart of personal and universal transformation.Significantly, Babalon is pivotal in crossing the Abyss in Thelemic mysticism, where she acts as the guardian demanding the dissolution of the ego. This leads to the ultimate spiritual rebirth of the magician into a state of unity with all existence. Her role extends into the practice of s@xual magick, a key aspect of Thelemic practice, where she represents the potent power of s@xual energy in spiritual enlightenment and transformation.Additionally, the episode covers the historical evolution of Babalon's imagery and significance through the 20th century, notably through figures like Jack Parsons and Kenneth Grant, who expanded her archetype in the contexts of their own magical practices and interpretations. Babalon's enduring legacy in contemporary Thelema, her influence on feminist and queer discourses within the occult community, and her depiction as a revolutionary figure against oppressive structures are also discussed, highlighting her relevance and adaptability in modern spiritual practices.This episode illuminates Babalon's crucial role within Thelema and showcases her as a symbol of empowerment and spiritual depth, challenging conventional notions of femininity and spirituality.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥REFERENCE 📚Hedenborg White, M.

Is Neo Sufism still Islamic? Angelas Symposium 2024-07-03 | Is Sufism still connected to Islam?Sufism, a mystical Islamic branch, pursues divine love and knowledge through direct experiences, contrasting orthodox Islamic practices. It originated in the 9th century, influencing global cultures through arts like Persian qawwali music and Turkish whirling dervishes. Neo-Sufism, evolving from traditional Sufism, emphasizes the essence of its mysticism, often independent of its Islamic roots. Introduced in the West early in the 20th century, Sufism adapted to Western cultures, distancing itself from traditional Islamic frameworks. Sufism's adaptability makes it a dynamic spiritual tradition. Due to its profound global integration and cultural influence, it could potentially be considered a new religion.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥⚠️ Copyright of Dr Angela Puca, in all of its parts ⚠️

What is EVIL in Anthroposophy? Angelas Symposium 2024-06-26 | What is EVIL in Anthroposophy?Steiner agreed with Theosophists that there is no inherent evil; rather, evil arises when something good is misapplied. Anthroposophy associates evil with two impulses - Luciferian and Ahrimanic.Ahriman, derived from Zoroastrianism, represents the forces of materialism and rigidity. When in excess, Ahrimanic influence leads to overemphasis on materialism.Lucifer represents imagination, creativity, and will. Excessive Luciferian influence results in egotism, wilfulness, and loss of reality.The Christ being stands between the two as a balancing, redeeming force for humanity.Follow for more academic fun with Dr Angela Puca, Religious Studies PhD.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥⚠️ Copyright of Dr Angela Puca, in all of its parts ⚠️
Cagliostros High Egyptian Freemasonry Angelas Symposium 2024-06-23 | This episode delves into the mystical and Masonic legacy of Count Alessandro Cagliostro, focusing on his creation of High Egyptian Freemasonry. Cagliostro, a figure shrouded in mystery and controversy, claimed esoteric knowledge and noble origins, quickly gaining notoriety across Europe as a healer and Freemason.We explore Cagliostro's introduction of the Egyptian Rite in Naples in 1777, which marked a significant departure from traditional Freemasonry by integrating mystical practices and the concept of spiritual and moral transformation. His rites catered to both men and women, incorporating beliefs in theism and the immortality of the soul, and outlined a path for redemption through spiritual, intellectual, and physical restoration.We also cover the specifics of Cagliostro’s Masonic rituals, which were designed to elevate practitioners through a series of stages: from spiritual reawakening and intellectual renewal, emphasizing alchemy and theurgy, to achieving a divine connection.

Kundalini Awakening: Esoteric practices, Jungian Psychology, Paganism Angelas Symposium 2024-06-16 | In this episode, we tackle the ancient and powerful practice of Kundalini Yoga, tracing its roots from the sacred Upanishads of the first millennium BCE to its contemporary role in Western esotericism. Discover how Kundalini, often envisioned as a dormant serpentine force at the base of the spine, has been integrated into modern spiritual practices, transforming lives through its profound psycho-spiritual benefits.We explore how Kundalini Yoga has evolved through the ages, influenced by the teachings of notable figures like T. Krishnamacharya and Yogi Bhajan, and how it has been adapted into the practices of contemporary witches, Pagans, and occultists. We'll also examine the significant impact of Carl Jung's ideas on individuation and the integration of the unconscious, which resonate deeply with the transformative journey of Kundalini awakening.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥RECOMMENDED READINGS 📖I recommend Prabuji's works as primary sources.

Is Thelema Left-Hand Path? Academic vs Practitioner Perspectives with Marco Visconti Angelas Symposium 2024-06-02 | Is Thelema Left-Hand Path? Academic vs Practitioner Perspectives.Join us in exploring the left-hand path through academic and practitioner lenses in this detailed discussion with special guest Marco Visconti. In this episode, we delve into the intriguing world of emic and etic perspectives, comparing and contrasting the insider (emic) views held by practitioners with the outsider (etic) analyses conducted by scholars. This dialogue bridges the gap between academic study and personal practice, highlighting the complexities and nuances that each perspective brings to understanding esoteric traditions. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, a student of religious studies, or simply curious about alternative spiritual paths, this video promises to enrich your understanding of the Left-Hand Path and inspire deeper thought about the interplay between belief and scholarly interpretation. ABOUT OUR GUEST Marco Visconti is a lifelong practitioner of the Western Esoteric Tradition, with a particular interest in Thelema and Crowleyana. Between 2014 and 2018, he worked at Treadwell’s Books, a hub of international expertise on Western esotericism in London. Prior to that, he was a music professional with an international career spanning over 15 years with bands such as XP8 and Faderhead. He translated numerous key esoteric texts from English to Italian, such as Michael Bertiaux’s Lucky Hoodoo. In recent years, he organised the online community Magick Without Tears, teaching magick online to over 300 students—and counting. His first book, The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick in Modern Times, has been a commercial and critical success and has been translated into Italian and Polish. He's currently working on his second book, in which he will explore the next steps in the Thelemic Current and unveil the mysteries of the Holy Guardian Angel and the Thoth Tarot.

How Magic Works: Path of Least Resistance and Energy Principles Angelas Symposium 2024-05-19 | This video delves into the fascinating principles underpinning magical practices, focusing on the "path of least resistance" and the "principle of proportional energy." Drawing from my extensive fieldwork in the anthropology of religion, I will explain how practitioners from diverse traditions optimise their rituals and spells to achieve desired outcomes. We’ll answer key questions such as: * How does the path of least resistance manifest in magic?* Why do improbable outcomes require more energy?* How do practitioners break down complex goals into manageable steps?* What role do group rituals play in amplifying magical potency?You'll learn how the path of least resistance manifests in magical contexts, allowing effects to occur with minimal opposition and energy expenditure. We'll explore how this principle is analogous to natural sciences, guiding practitioners to align their will with the most accessible and receptive pathways. Additionally, I'll introduce the principle of proportional energy, which posits that the more unlikely an event, the greater the energy required to bring it about. This principle explains why certain outcomes, like winning the lottery, are deemed nearly impossible to achieve through magic. Through real-world examples and field observations, we'll see how practitioners break down complex goals into manageable steps and utilise group rituals to amplify their efforts. These strategies not only enhance the potency of their magic but also reflect a pragmatic, adaptive approach to navigating the dynamics of resistance and possibility.CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥RECOMMENDED READINGS 📖amzn.to/3WJLFf2amzn.to/3yhVAygMY SET-UP 🛠️- Canon 90D camera 📸 amzn.to/3yQclh0- Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 📷 amzn.to/3JjU1BS- Teleprompter 🗒️ amzn.to/3linWCB- Shure SM7B Microphone 🎙️ amzn.to/3Jm5IYK- Microphone stand 🎤 amzn.to/3FueJOn- Lights 💡 amzn.to/3Zdk8k1- DJI Wireless microphones 📡 amzn.to/3NWAVVQ00:00 Introduction: Fieldwork, Observing Practical Magic01:03 Support Angela’s Symposium01:20 The Path of Least Resistance in Magical Practice02:03 The Principle of Proportional Energy02:55 Fieldwork Insights: Stepwise Goals and Group Work04:30 Practical Applications and Cultural Adaptations05:52 A Mathematical Formula for the Path of Least Resistance in Magic07:51 Support Angela’s Symposium⚠️ Copyright of Dr Angela Puca, in all of its parts ⚠️Music by Erose MusicBand.

From Chaos Magick to Tantra with Phil Hine Angelas Symposium 2024-05-06 | Phil Hine is renowned for his foundational role in popularising chaos magick, a paradigm that challenges conventional magical systems by advocating a highly individualistic and experimental approach. His seminal texts, such as "Condensed Chaos" and "Prime Chaos," have been pivotal in providing a framework that is both accessible and adaptable, urging practitioners to forge their own path in the magical landscape. Alongside his work in chaos magick, Hine has extensively engaged with tantra, focusing particularly on its appropriation and reinterpretation within Western esoteric contexts. His explorations consider the complex nuances of cultural transmission and adaptation, offering critical insights into integrating Eastern tantric practices into Western magical frameworks. BIOGRAPHY Phil Hine has been a practicing occultist for over forty-five years, with a career spanning Wicca, ritual Magic, Chaos Magic and nondual Tantra. Together with Rodney Orpheus, he co-created and edited the UK’s first monthly Pagan magazine, Pagan News (1988-92). His books include: Condensed Chaos, Prime Chaos, The Pseudonomicon, Hine’s Varieties: Chaos & Beyond, Acts of Magical Resistance, Queerying Occultures and Wheels within Wheels: Chakras and Western Esotericism. In 2019, he founded Twisted Trunk, a small press specializing in publishing translations of rare Tantric texts. Forthcoming publications are Delinquent Elementals, co-edited with Rodney Orpheus (Strange Attractor, 2024) and Yoginis: Sex, Death and Possession in Early Tantra (Original Falcon Press).

The 9 Satanic Statements Explained - LaVeyan Philosophy & Religion Angelas Symposium 2024-04-28 | Explore the Nine Satanic Statements from "The Satanic Bible" by Anton LaVey, a text that stands as a cornerstone of LaVeyan Satanism. We examine these statements, each presenting a bold contrast to traditional Christian values, and discuss their implications on moral and philosophical grounds.We will dissect the significance of indulgence over abstinence, the preference for vital existence rather than spiritual aspirations, and the emphasis on seeking undefiled wisdom over self-deceit. The episode will also analyse the controversial standpoints on kindness, vengeance, and responsibility, all pivoting away from conventional religious teachings.Key questions addressed in this episode include: What does LaVeyan Satanism say about human nature and the concept of sin? How does it redefine notions of kindness and justice? What commentary does it offer on human superiority and the role of Satan in Christian theology?CONNECT & SUPPORT💖MY COURSES 👩🏻🎓 drangelapuca.com/coursesWEBSITE & NEWSLETTER 💌 drangelapuca.com/#newsletterBOOK A TUTORING OR A LECTURE 📖drangelapuca.com/servicesBECOME MY PATRON! 🎩 patreon.com/angelapucaSUPPORT ME ON KO-FI ☕️ko-fi.com/drangelapucaONE-OFF DONATIONS 💰 paypal.me/angelasymposiumJOIN MEMBERSHIPS 👥 youtube.com/channel/UCPSbip_LX2AxbGeAQfLp-Ig/joinMY PODCAST 🎙 open.spotify.com/show/2TKoWTGe6OKRokHN2zUIxM?si=dd9f50a734b14f86MY MERCH 👕 drangelapuca.creator-spring.comFOLLOW ME👣- YouTube (@drangelapuca)🌟- Instagram (@drangelapuca) 📸- TikTok (@drangelapuca) 🎵- Twitter (@angelapuca11) 🐦- Facebook (Dr Angela Puca) 👥BUY THE SATANIC BIBLE HERE ⬇️amzn.to/43N2Mhuamzn.to/3PUcBolACADEMIC REFERENCE 📚Dyrendal, A., Lewis, J.R. and Petersen, J.A. 2015.

Anton LaVeys Satanic Bible Explained Angelas Symposium 2024-04-07 | #TheSatanicBible #AntonLaVey #satanism Venture into the shadowy corridors of "The Satanic Bible" with Angela's Symposium and unravel the mystique of Anton LaVey's defining work. Published in 1969, this text is a cornerstone of Satanism, shaping the movement and its principles. This episode delves into each of the four pivotal books—Satan, Belial, Lucifer, and Leviathan—that compile LaVey's Satanic philosophy, magic practices, and ritualistic approach, providing a window into a materialistic, hedonistic lifestyle contrasted sharply with conventional religious doctrines.In this in-depth analysis, we answer pressing questions such as:- What makes "The Satanic Bible" a foundational text for Satanists?- How does Anton LaVey's bricolage of ideas challenge traditional esotericism?- What are the core principles in the provocative "Book of Satan"?- How does "The Book of Lucifer" advocate for a new rationality within Satanist philosophy?- In what ways does "The Book of Belial" approach the subject of magic and its practical applications?- What role do the "Enochian keys" in "The Book of Leviathan" play in Satanic rituals?Angela's Symposium is dedicated to sharing free, academically sound knowledge on esotericism and religious studies, supported by peer-reviewed sources.

😲 where did Visualization come from? 🤔 Angelas Symposium 2024-03-25 | Did esoteric practices originate from Christian traditions? How did medieval scholasticism influence the esoteric use of imagination? And can the boundaries between kataphatic and apophatic methodologies shed light on the diverse spiritual landscape of Europe's past?Join us as we uncover the pivotal role of imagination within mystical practices, challenging the notion that esotericism stands apart from traditional Christian thought. From the affective piety movement to the intellectual currents of high scholasticism, we explore how the imaginative faculty has been a bridge between sensory experience and divine insight, deeply integrated with the Christian kataphatic tradition. Discover how thinkers like Bonaventure shaped a legacy of visual contemplation that resonates through esoteric practice today.
