No previous experience is required.What we exploreOrigins: Jewish mystical traditions and European Renaissance grimoires.Practice: Evocation, invocation, planetary rites and psalm work.Methods: Consecrated tools, protective circles, pentacles and sacred names.Legacy: A major foundation of modern ceremonial magick, including the Golden Dawn and Thelema.
Thelema & Aleister Crowley
Explore Thelema as a modern philosophy and magical system shaped by Aleister Crowley, drawing on Hermeticism, Qabalah, yoga and ceremonial practice.Core ideas“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” points toward discovering and living one’s True Will—not simply following every impulse.“Love is the law, love under will” places love and alignment at the heart of that work.What we discuss: Ritual and meditation, tarot and astrology, Qabalah, invocation and evocation, and the influence of Thelema on later magical traditions.We approach Crowley’s work critically: through study, personal experience and open discussion rather than dogma.
