In other news, WitchSchool has finally
released the first of my Hermetic classes: An
Introduction to the Hebrew Alphabet. It will soon
be followed by introductions to the Tree of Life,
Astral Travel, Meditation, and more! :)
Speaking of online schools, you might also
want to check out the
Sanctuary of Ma'at Order of the Golden Dawn
(www.ritual-magic.com). The "SoM" was founded
as an online study group for folks who didn't have
access to nearby G.D. Temples, and who believed
in the concept of Self-Initiation. The SoM
curriculum is taken from the Cicero's "Self Initiation
Into the Golden Dawn Tradition" - based upon the
Outer-Order teachings of the HGOD.
If you are studying Golden Dawn or Hermetic
material alone, you will want to see this for
yourself. The SoM provides you with all the textual
resources you need (you don't even have to buy
the book to get started!), along with a community
of fellow students, Proctors (for personal
instruction) and Instructors (for group classes). All
of this is done on-line. However, if a Proctor lives
close enough to you, you can request some face-
to-face learning. You can also choose to work in a
study group- if you have interested friends who live
nearby. And, working study groups have the
potential to grow into full SoM Temples someday.
So, as you can see, there are many opportunities
here...
More Later!
You will also want to keep your eye on
WitchSchool.com. Some time ago, they
published the first chapter of "Secrets" as an online
magickal history course. Since then, they have
decided to create a new department of the school
for "Magickal Studies." They want to offer a
complete course in Hermetic Magick- from the
basics to advanced work. To this end, they've
asked me to write the entire curriculum. (!!!) Of
course, I just couldn't hope to do such a task
alone. So, when I found out that Nick Farrell was
about to offer his own course through WitchSchool
(on Talismans), I knew I just had to plead with him
to save me!! The result, so far, is an entire
ccurriculum offered by the two of us- some classes
by me, and some by Nick. We are working on it
now, and I'll let you know when WitchSchool offers
the courses. In time, I hope to recruit further
authors into the cause... I'll see who I can interest
in contributing to the project. :)
Of course, none of you can read this right now,
because my page has vanished from the Web!
Actually, it has just been down while I went into a
bit of reclusion and finished my book. Plus, by the
time you guys read this, you'll note that I am no
longer at AOL, but at my own domain
aaronleitch.com! Pretty cool.
Finally, keep checking here for updates on my
upcoming book on Grimoiric magick. Secrets of
the Grimoires: Biblical Shamanism in Medieval
Europe. I promise you'll love it, no matter what
angle of occultism, history, or consciousness
expansion you're into.
