ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult episodes

November 12, 2023 Robert Cochrane's Traditional Witchcraft: Pagan or Luciferian?
#RobertCochrane #traditionalwitchcraft #luciferianism
Explore the enigmatic legacy of Robert Cochrane, a pivotal figure in the
Traditional Witchcraft movement within Western esotericism, in our
latest video, "Robert Cochrane's Traditional Witchcraft: Pagan or
Luciferian?". Delve into the 1990s rise of this strand of witchcraft as a
counter-current to the prevailing Pagan Witchcraft, and uncover why
Cochrane is revered as its founding father. Unravel the complexities of
Cochrane's Craft, which has shaped contemporary practices and sparked a
surge of scholarly examination.
In this in-depth analysis, we scrutinise the theistic foundations of
Cochrane’s Craft, probing the mystical entities and supernatural beliefs
at its core. Drawing on peer-reviewed academic sources, we assess
whether Cochrane’s tradition aligns with the Pagan Witchcraft religion,
akin to Gardnerian, Alexandrian, or Cardellian Wicca, or if it
represents a distinct path altogether.

November 05, 2023 Myth vs History: Does Belief Need Facts?
Myth vs History: Does Belief Need Facts? Do you need evidence to
believe? Does spirituality need scientific validation? Uncover the

paths. How do myths shape spiritual beliefs, and what happens when they
contrast with historical evidence? Does belief require evidence?
Key Questions:
- Can myths shape spiritual practices without historical evidence?
- What's the role of the Triple Goddess in modern spirituality?
- How do Jungian archetypes explain spiritual myths?
- Can personal spiritual experiences be valid without historical
backing?
This video is a must-watch for those navigating the intricate web of
belief, myth, and evidence in their spiritual journey and for anyone
curious about the balancing act between historical fact and
transformative personal belief.

October 26, 2023 The TRUE History of Samhain (it's not what you think)
No! Samhain is NOT a "Celtic Fire Festival", as contemporary Wiccans and Pagans often believe. That's a view popularized by James Frazer and John Rhys, which lacks historical support and evidence. I explain in this video the true history of Samhain based on the historical research by Ronald Hutton.

October 23, 2023 Ritual Magic Through Art - Kenneth Anger - with Prof Judith Noble
I am delighted to host Prof. Judith, an expert on the transformative intersections of art and esotericism. Our conversation orbits around the enigmatic and evocative works of Kenneth Anger, an avant-garde filmmaker whose oeuvre plunges into the depths of magical practice and occult symbolism.
Kenneth Anger, a central figure in both underground cinema and modern esotericism, has mesmerised audiences with films like "Lucifer Rising" and "Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome." His work melds ritualistic elements with visual storytelling, offering an innovative exploration of how art can serve as a conduit for magical intent.
About our guest
Judith Noble is Professor of Film and the Occult at Arts University Plymouth (UK). She began her career as an artist filmmaker, exhibiting work internationally and worked for over twenty years as a production executive in the film industry, working with directors including Peter Greenaway and Amma Asante. Her current research centres on artists’ moving image, Surrealism, the occult and work by women artists, and she has published on filmmakers including Maya Deren, Derek Jarman and Kenneth Anger. Her most recent publication (as editor) is The Dance of Moon and Sun – Ithell Colquhoun, British Women and Surrealism (2023, Fulgur). She continues to practice as an artist and filmmaker; her most recent film is Fire Spells (2022), a collaboration with director Tom Chick. Her recent work can be found at www.iseu.space. Her film work is distributed by Cinenova.
