It’s always aeonic when Gary Lachman materializes at the Virtual Alexandria. He’ll discuss his new work, Touched by the Presence. This memoir traces the journey of a founding member of Blondie, detailing his transition from a successful rock and roller to a writer on consciousness and the Western esoteric tradition. We’ll explore his deep involvement in esoteric studies such as Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way, Crowley’s O.T.O., and the Golden Dawn, and recount encounters with figures like David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and author Colin Wilson.
