Nonduality & Magic with Jay Basu
The Nonduality & Magic course can be found here: https://the-hermitage.mn.coJay grew up in east London, to an Indian father and a half-Russian, half-Polish mother. His father’s family in West Bengal were immersed in the Advaita Vedanta tradition as members of the Ramakrishna Mission, so there was always some knowledge of this so-called “perennial” understanding running through his life. It was in his mid-thirties that he properly reconnected with what he considers the truths at the heart of that lineage. He has worked for many years with therapeutic and spiritual traditions, including Zen-informed Jungian analysis, somatic healing work, and shamanic healing and ceremony.In 2022 he had an experience in which his sense of separation seemingly vanished for a couple of weeks. That became the subject of Notes On Nothing.Mine and Jay's first chat (when he was Anonymous) can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmCfRR4KrX8And Jay's (very) new website can be found here: https://nothing-happening.com/The Nonduality & Magic course can be found here: https://the-hermitage.mn.co---Become part of the Hermitix community:Hermitix Twitter - / hermitixpodcast Support Hermitix:Patreon - www.patreon.com/hermitix Donations: - https://www.paypal.me/hermitixpod

A Life of Magic: Chaos, Games, & Ritual with Lionel Snell
Ramsey Dukes is the current and most well-known pen name of Lionel Snell, a contemporary English magician, publisher, and author on magic and philosophy.Lionel was born to a Kibbo Kift couple as WW2 was ending and lived his childhood in a converted water mill deep in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. From his village school he won a scholarship plus government bursary to attend prep and public school in Bristol, where he discovered a wonderful library of ancient alchemy and magic books that had been bequeathed to the school by EJ Holmyard.A scholarship to Cambridge University enabled him to study Crowley and other occult books in the University library, and he still had time to graduate in pure mathematics. He tried teaching, gardening, aircraft stress analysis, copy writing, technical writing and a few other things before becoming a freelance promotional writer, mostly for hi-tech industries.Meanwhile he had made a name for himself – or rather a number of names – writing and self-publishing books and articles on magic, occult philosophy, and radical worldviews. These included a wicked satirical column for Aquarian Arrow, a UK neo-pantheist magazine in the 1970-80s. He is now best known under the pseudonym Ramsey Dukes, and he has a lively YouTube presence under that name.Dukes' site: https://ramseydukes.co.uk/Aeon Dukes Books: https://health.aeonbooks.co.uk/author/ramsey-dukes/23699---Become part of the Hermitix community:The Hermitage: https://the-hermitage.mn.coHermitix Twitter - / hermitixpodcast Support Hermitix:Patreon - www.patreon.com/hermitix Donations: - https://www.paypal.me/hermitixpod

You decide where to begin, and exploration takes care of the rest. The tradition is older than any single school, and bigger than any single teacher.Site link: https://the-hermitage.mn.co/Courses at Launch:Magical FoundationsAncestor WorshipHistory of Western EsotericismCarl Jung in Theory and PracticeA Beginner's Guide to the Waite-Smith TarotChristian Meditations on the Marseille TarotEsoteric ChristianityChaos MagicSigil MagicThe Body, Energy, and Vital Force A Short Course in Shamanic JourneyingThe subscription is £20/$25 per month.Hermitix podcast will continue as is.Site link: https://the-hermitage.mn.co/#tarot #tarotreading #occult #magick #onlinecourse #jung #carljung #chaosmagic
