THE SEEKER'S GUIDE COMPANION BOOK TO 'THE SECRET TEACHINGS'
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 INITIATES OF THE FLAME: THE DELUXE EDITION FOREWARD
Originally published in 1922, The Initiates of the Flame is Hall’s first exploration—and still one of his most powerful—of myth and symbol. Its pages shine a light on the inner meaning of symbols including the pyramid, holy grail, flame of wisdom, ark of the covenant, all-seeing eye, sword and stone, the elements of alchemy, and other gateways to the unseen world.

LECTURES
In this practical workshop, Mitch explores methods and ideas from metaphysical tradition, ancient and modern, that bring agency and insight to the life of the individual seeker. Surveying a wide range of ideas from his new collection, Uncertain Places, Mitch provides techniques and exercises from mind metaphysics, “anarchic magick,” Hermetic tradition, gnosticism, and other esoteric thought schools to help participants devise their own workable program of self-development.

In this special talk, author Mitch Horowitz lays out a unifying vision of the “uncertain places” in which our culture finds itself as UFOs go mainstream; clinical evidence for ESP mounts; occult and alternative disruptions sweep religious life; and the traditional sciences, from quantum mechanics to neuroplasticity to string theory, suggest a world that responds to, or is shaped by, perception.

THE SEEKER'S GUIDE LECTURE SERIES

In this special presentation, Mitch trenchantly considers what we have learned about the creative powers of the mind in the past century of modern science and spiritual inquiry and how these insights relate to both historical traditions and the urgencies of daily life. He also explores the problems and limitations that the mind-power thesis brings. Do not miss this probing and revelatory new vision of mind metaphysics.

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. RENT ON VIMEO |
