Register today to experience Ike Baker live at the 3rd Annual Dee & Kelly Conference ONLINE & IN-PERSON this November 6-8th. Join a private workshop, not even recorded or streamed and learn theurgy in a private setting with him in a small group setting. He will also be delivering a Presentation in person and via zoom to all online attendees. It is going to be the biggest event of its kind ever! https//www.EnochiaCon.com

Ike Baker joins us to discuss theurgy, the imaginal realm, and his new book Esoteric Mythology. Learn to integrate these concepts.

In this session, Ike Baker shares his unique approach to theurgy, detailing how he uses the quadrivium and geometric contemplation to elevate the mind. We explore his writing process, the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien, and how his work serves as a way to organize thoughts and inspirations regarding the cosmos and the soul.

We also cover the practical application of magic, specifically analyzing the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram as a reenactment of cosmogony. By examining Moina Mathers’ manuscript notes and the imaginal realm as an organ of spiritual perception, we clarify how to maintain a stable realization of unity within multiplicity. This discussion provides a framework for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Gnostic philosophy and the path of gnosis.

Subscribe for weekly Hermetic philosophy breakdowns, and tell us in the comments which part of the Geometric Theoria workshop resonates with your practice.

The system of Enochian magick, discovered and developed by John Dee and Edward Kelley in the 1500s, has fascinated ritual magicians for centuries. Enochian magick played a prominent role in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its successors, and Aleister Crowley attained many of his greatest mystical insights and initiatory successes using the system.

In this modern application of the approach known as “scrying the Aethyrs”, noted magician, psychologist, teacher, and author Dr. David Shoemaker presents his visionary experiences with the Aethyrs, as well as a practical approach to obtaining your own visions. This book is an essential text for anyone interested in the Enochian system.

"Dr. Shoemaker is not only a mature and competent practitioner of Enochian magical techniques, but is also possessed with the eloquence and insight to share what is 'shareable' of his intensely personal journey. My highest recommendation." --Lon Milo DuQuette, author of Enochian Vision Magick

Tonight we talk to an actual living Adept and survivor of KABBALAH MAGIC & THE GREAT WORK OF TRANSFORMATION as he shares his experience of thinking he was dedicating years to learning and mastering the Golden Dawn system of initiation via Lyam Thomas Christopher's wildly popular guide to self-initiation. But initiation into what? Does his system create GD Adepti or does it lead somewhere else, and follow and entirely different map? Find out tonight with Special Guests Frater RC and Jorge Quinones.

Demonology As Devourment Without A Devourer by Oren Ben Yosef 

Out Now: https://amzn.to/3V3Qtx1

What if demons aren’t mythological beings but structural presences coded into our technologies, our stories, and ourselves?

Watch the full live episode: https://youtube.com/live/F7IKcKJYVkg

Demonology as Devourment Without a Devourer is neither a grimoire of evil spirits, nor a catalog of arcane names - it is a philosophical descent into the abyss that is the devouring logic of the demonic. In these pages, demonology becomes more than the mere study of demons; it becomes a theory of hunger, destruction, possession, and transformation. Through close readings of movies such as The Matrix, Constantine, and John Wick, as well as the Black Mirror series and other contemporary cultural texts, this book redefines demonology as the study of devourment: how systems consume their users, how messages erase their media, how reality is overwritten by simulation. Drawing from philosophy, theology, occult studies, and contemporary culture, this book reimagines the demonic not as an external evil but as a force that gnaws at human limits. The demon is no longer a mere symbol - it is a method, a rupture, a technology that unmakes and remakes the subject. The demon emerges not from hell but from feedback loops, virtual doubles, and machines that rewrite human desire. These are not beings of fire and brimstone - they are the operators of rules, the agents of erasure, the avatars of entropy. Philosophical, unsettling, and timely, Demonology as Devourment offers not an exorcism but a diagnosis. The demons have returned - wearing new skins.

Been saying I'd do this with you for years now...let's go!

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley https://amzn.to/4qY1bB6 Frater R.C. reads from The Confessions of Aleister Crowley, the notorious occultist’s sprawling autobiography, exploring Crowley’s own account of his life, magical career, Thelema, ceremonial magick, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, mysticism, scandal, spiritual experimentation, and his self-fashioned identity as “The Great Beast 666.” 

This reading series approaches Crowley in his own words, placing The Confessions of Aleister Crowley within the wider history of Western esotericism, Hermeticism, occultism, ritual magic, and the magical revival of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley offers an intimate look at the occultist's life, career, and spiritual evolution.

By grounding The Confessions of Aleister Crowley in the broader history of Western esotericism, we better understand the foundations of Thelema and the development of modern ceremonial magick. This discussion is designed for students seeking to place these classic texts within the historical framework of the magical revival.
