HERMETICS AND THE WESTERN MYSTERY TRADITION

Embark on a journey of esoteric discovery with Western Mysteries. Our classes offer a unique exploration into occult traditions, Hermetics, and ancient history. Join us to deepen your understanding and connect with like-minded individuals.

What makes this class unique

Our esoteric history and archaeology classes offer unique insights and perspectives by focusing on the rich tapestry of the religious cults of the Ancient World, Greek Hermetic Philosophy, the Work of Carl Jung and the power these archetypes and symbols have today for self-development and a greater understanding of the world. 

Ancient Egyptian Origins

Hermetics began in the traditions of the Egyptian mysteries, alchemy and astrology from the Great followers of the cults of Thoth and Isis. Through Akhenaton, Alexander the Great and Hellenistic Egypt, this unique philosophical point of view evolved into a new syncretism with Ancient Greek culture.

The Work of Carl Jung
