THE Books:

  • SEPTEMBER - BOOK 1 - SIDDHARTHA

    Siddhartha is a book that delves deeply into themes of spirituality, self-discovery and enlightenment. It discusses transformative processes that occult practices aim to achieve through symbolism.

    It provides a cross-cultural perspective that can enrich our understanding of Eastern mysticism practices within the context of Western occult traditions.

    It encourages deep reflections and wonderful discussions.

  • The Three Stages of Initiatic Spirituality

    OCTOBER - BOOK 2 - The Three Stages of Initiatic Spirituality

    For our first book we will be reading and discussing Angel Millar’s “The Three Stags of Initiatic Spirituality,” because it is a very digestible introduction to the occult. Angel discusses the craftsman, warrior, and magician archetypes and how they represent the successive stages of spiritual growth in an individual’s life.

    Together, we will explore the themes presented in the book and connect them to our own lives and current events.

  • NOVEMBER - BOOK 3 - THE POWER OF MYTH

    “The Power of Myth” dives into the heart of human spirituaity and symbolic language that underpins many occult traditions. Its exploration of themes, symbols, and rituals can provide inspiration to deepen our relationship to ourselves and the collective.

    It also explores the significance of rituals and how they shape the human experience, which can enrich our own practice.
