New Age is merely softened down and tarted up Christianity; an outmoded religion once adhered to by primitive mammalian primates based upon ludicrous notions of sin and guilt. Under Christianity, perfectly natural desires were called ‘sinful’. Under New Age, you still have to be guilty as sin for the same, for the words and phrases are ‘unspiritual’ - whatever that may mean - or ‘not virtuous’. Whatever words are used, people still end up feeling guilty over perfectly natural and honourable feelings like love, hate, lust, anger et al.

Thelema Intensive: A Serious Introductory Course to the Tradition
Posted by Treadwells on Sol in 5° Cancer : Luna in 9° Aries : dies Jovis : Anno IVxvi   (Jun 26, 2008 - 07:27 PM)
transparent.gif

Course led by Marcus Katz.
Weekend of 5th-6th of July, 9.45am arrival for 10.00 am start, finishing 4.30 pm both days.
£93 course fee (must be paid in advance).
Location: Treadwells, 34 Tavistock St, Covent Garden, London.
Never before offered in London, this course offers a serious yet highly approachable introduction to Thelema and Aleister Crowley.


Further details at Treadwells Website
Please book in advance via info@treadwells-london.com or Tel. +44 (0)20 7240 8906.

It looks at Thelema as a philosophy and its place in the Western esoteric tradition - then go on to experience practices and texts that communicate Crowley's magic, including key rituals, the reception of the Book of the Law (Liber Al), and the designs of the Thoth Tarot deck. Throughout, the tutor will explain and explore the world-view underpinning this tradition, to enable familiarity with concepts such as the Aeons, the Gods and Goddesses of the Book of the Law, initiation and the grades of attainment. Marcus Katz will be using material unavailable to the general public, including research conducted in Egypt and notes from Crowley’s original manuscripts. There will be lecture, discussion, document examination, ritual work and meditation.

Marcus Katz is a longstanding magical practitioner who also holds an MA in Western Esotericism (Exeter), now doing doctoral research on western occult groups. He is an inveterate world traveller but currently lives in Cumbria, where he runs an esoteric teaching centre, The Faraway Centre.

The course is not affiliated with any particular interpretation or of Crowley's work.

I have read the forum guidelines and I believe my comment was on topic so I write again.
For me 93£ is a lot of money. Does the overage englishman think otherwise?
And what unavailable material is needed for serious study?

Does it matter? Marcus is talking about Thelema, not Crowleyanity.

Thank you for your clarification. "Practices and texts that communicate Crowley's magic" are noy found solely with OTO and A.A., so far as I'm aware.

That sounds intriguing, Raven - many thanks for your impressions. I met Marcus at Treadwells on the Monday evening following, and would have liked to have gone to the weekend had I not had a prior engagement on the Saturday. Hopefully Marcus will do it again sometime.

Best wishes,

Michael.
