Topic: “The Practice of Personal Transformation”
Length: 90 minutes
Both Dion Fortune and Isral Regardie stated that psychotherapy is an essential part of magical and spiritual development, but what exactly did they mean by this? Why is psychotherapy so important to the development of effective ritual magicians and occultists? What is the most appropriate form of psychotherapy or personal development for developing magical skills? And how does this actually help to enable magicians to perform more effective rituals and magical ceremonies?
Andy Cooper has been a practising ritual magician for nearly twenty years and has trained in many psychological and spiritual healing methodologies. He has applied his wide experience to creating an effective process for rapid personal development that really enhances the effectiveness of occultists and ritual magicians. In this talk, he shares his experience and the processes that have proven to dramatically enhance th performance of ritual magic.
- Kim Huggens.
Topic: “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: the use of images and figurines in Graeco-Roman malefic magic.”
“The sympathetic magic of the Late Antique period is demonstrated most succinctly in the collection of ancient Graeco-Roman magical handbooks now known as the Graeco-Roman Magical Papyri (or PGM). A surprisingly large number of these sympathetic magical techniques are aimed at harming or controlling another person - a victim - for the magician’s desires, clients, or needs. These curses repeatedly use the same technique of ritually damaging an image of the victim to enact similar or representative damage on the victim him/herself. This image may be as complex as a voodoo doll, or as simple as a bay leaf. In this talk, the literary sources from the Greek and Latin dramatists will be examined in relation to the texts from the PGM, as well as the material evidence such as the 3rd century CE “Louvre Doll” and “Mnesimachos Doll”. We will discuss the nature of malefic magic in the Late Antique period, the influences and inspiration upon such techniques, and its widespread popularity in the ancient world.”
