Spirit Box - Een podcast door Darragh Mason

For episode #1 of season 2 we are joined by author and translator David Pantano to discuss the recent publication ‘The Hermetic Physican’ on Giuliano Kremmerz.  Giuliano Kremmerz (1861–1930), born Ciro Formisano, was one of the most influential Italian occultists, alchemists, and hermetic masters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, though he remains almost unknown to English readers. In 1896, Kremmerz began writing about natural and divine magic, healing, and alchemy through the journal Il Mondo Secreto (The Secret World). At the same time, he founded a school known as the Schola Philosophica Hermetica Classica Italica as well as a magical group, the Therapeutic and Magical Fraternity of Myriam. Within the Myriam, he sought to use hermetic, magical, andPythagorean principles to harness the power of the psyche and convey collective energies for therapeutic purposes and distance healing. His initiatic order would become the principal esoteric society in Italy—comparable to its British counterpart, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn—but forced to be a carefully guarded secret as Mussolini’s government rose to power. In this unique compilation of essays, David presents an in-depth study of Kremmerz’s life and work by his student and initiate, Italian esotericist Marco Daffi. Throughout this collection, David Pantano provides extensive annotations, offering the English reader essential historical and mystical context for Daffi’s work. Connecting to untranslated Italian texts and elucidating Daffi’s poetic style, Pantano’s commentary reveals the unique tradition of Italian esoterism.   In the Plus show we discuss the Fraternity of Myriam today, and its current state. Further to that David talks about how the adepts of the order would work with the Aeon entities. And we unpack what the Aeon spirits are?  We then go on to discuss he charms used in the order to engage with the Aeon spirits    Show notes: https://www.innertraditions.com/author/david-pantano    Keep in touch? https://linktr.ee/darraghmason Music by Obliqka https://soundcloud.com/obliqka
