Just how sacred is a
`sacred' site?
The dynamics of
place in relationship to ritual space construction is
explored with the aim of shedding light on our (i.e. the
UK) alleged holy monuments and the methods used in their
consecration. The ambivalent attitude of some `pagans'
to such sites will also be noted.
Venue: The Diorama
Centre, Triton Square, London NW1 (Warren Street or
Euston Square tubes)
Date and Time:
Tuesday January 8th at 7.00 pm.
The Hermetic Imagination
The impulse of the `works of Hermes', most famously the
Corpus Hermeticum, and its re-discovery and translation by
the Renaissance literati, laid the foundations for modern
Western esotericism via the work of Ficino, Pico, Bruno, et
al. Hermeticism became enlarged to cover the disciplines of
astrology, kabbalah, geomancy and the like. This talk looks
at the evolution of the Hermetic tradition and its influence
on occult movements from the 17th century onwards.
Venue:
The Deveraux, Deveraux Court off The Strand/Essex
Street, near the Royal Courts of Justice.

and magician, alike over the centuries. This talk will focus
on some of the key features in its evolution and main
traditions embodying it today.
