Mitch Horowitz, Lecturer-in-Residence

Picture
Mitch Horowitz, a widely known voice of esoteric ideas, is our lecturer-in-residence at PRS. Mitch is also a writer-in-residence at the New York Public Library and the PEN Award-winning author of books including Occult America, One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life, and The Miracle Club: How Thoughts Become Reality. Mitch has written on everything from the war on witches to the secret life of Ronald Reagan for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Salon, Time.com, and Politico. The Washington Post says Mitch “treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today’s raised-voice discussions.”

THE SEEKER'S GUIDE COMPANION BOOK TO 'THE SECRET TEACHINGS'

Picture




​Mitch provides a compelling and illuminating twelve-chapter guidebook to Hall's encyclopedia arcana. Mitch surveys, clarifies, and updates a wide range of topics in Hall's epic volume, including Pythagorean mathematics, Egyptian symbolism, the nature and origin of Tarot cards, the meaning and mystery of strange beasts, the role of Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, and the foresight of much of Hall's esoteric scholarship. This is a guidebook to treasure alongside the Great Book.

THE SEEKER'S GUIDE LECTURE SERIES

​This video series includes two sets of lectures on Manly P. Hall's greatest works. The first is a brilliant 12-part lecture series on his magnum opus 'The Secret Teachings of All Ages.' The second is a 4-part series on 'The Initiates of the Flame,' the book that inaugurated Hall’s emergence at age 21 as the twentieth century’s premiere scholar of the esoteric and occult.

​In ‘The Hermetic Dawn,’ Mitch investigates Hermetic wisdom, explores its sources and controversies, and reveals Hermeticism’s authentic meaning and personal uses for us today. He argues that the ancient philosophy of Hermes may hold exactly the keys modern people are seeking to a universalistic faith of inner development, karmic values, and personal power. ⁣

The Parapsychology Revolution: What a Century of Psychical Research Reveals about the Powers of the Mind

In this digital event, historian of alternative spirituality and popular voice of esoteric ideas Mitch Horowitz explores the extraordinary implications of parapsychological findings. Current understandings of the mind, Mitch argues, are reshaping our conception of what it means to be human as much as Darwinism did during the Victorian era. What does this mean for you as a twenty-first century seeker and thinker?
