Henry Adams & Winslow Homer

Explore the hidden currents of the American Hermetic tradition through the lives and works of Henry Adams and Winslow Homer—two towering figures who, in very different ways, grappled with nature, mystery, and the unseen forces shaping modern life. From Adams’s Dynamo and the Virgin to Homer’s haunting seascapes, this presentation traces how both men tapped into a spiritual undercurrent beneath American realism.This is the tenth in a series of 13 presentations that explores Hermetic American history by focusing on a diverse group of hermetic figures spanning architecture, poetry, drama, religion, esoteric philosophy, and occultism. These presentations were delivered by Roger Weir in the spring of 1982 in Los Angeles, California.Episode transcript - https://sharedpresencefoundation.org/transcripts/123 Discover more content related to this serieshttps://sharedpresencefoundation.org/presentations/hermetic-america-1982 Discover more presentations by Roger Weirhttps://sharedpresencefoundation.org/presentations Learn more about the Shared Presence Foundationhttps://sharedpresencefoundation.org​
