On Thursday March 13th, 2014 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will

present a discussion on the 20th Path of the Tree of Life. This is the Path

that leads from Tiphareth to Chesed and is aptly attributed to the

astrological sign Virgo, the Hebrew letter Yod and the Tarot Trump The

Hermit. Again our texts will be Gareth Knight's Practical Guide to

Qabalistic Symbolism and John Michael Greer's Paths of Wisdom. This

particular path is concerned with the issues of personality and

individuality in relation to the spiritual ideal of dissolving the ego. In

this regard Chesed represents The Garden of Eden, and the Hermit travels the

lonely road to recover his/her virgin state of selfless innocence. The

alternative to this -- according to Gareth Knight -- is a return to Lemurian

black magick, an option which we will also examine for it's symbolic

significance. So, if you want to journey beyond the Sun then join us

Thursday night.
