Q&A audio from a live session on YouTube on 10/07.
The Hermitage: https://the-hermitage.mn.co/

The Hermitage is an online magical school that offers multiple courses across the Western magical tradition and leaves the path entirely up to you. There is no endpoint, no correct sequence, no single tradition that covers the terrain. The Hermitage offers courses and guidance rather than a curriculum. You decide where to begin, and exploration takes care of the rest. The tradition is older than any single school, and bigger than any single teacher.Site link: (TO GO LIVE ON 11/7 at 7pm!)Courses at Launch:Magical FoundationsAncestor WorshipHistory of Western EsotericismCarl Jung in Theory and PracticeA Beginner's Guide to the Waite-Smith TarotChristian Meditations on the Marseille TarotEsoteric ChristianityChaos MagicSigil MagicThe Body, Energy, and Vital Force A Short Course in Shamanic JourneyingThe subscription is £20/$25 per month.Hermitix podcast will continue as is.Site link: (TO GO LIVE ON 11/7 at 7pm!)
