 This episode explores the fascinating world of servitors—mystical constructs intentionally created to perform specific tasks, bridging the realms of magic, psychology, and spirituality. From their origins in ancient traditions like the Jewish golem and Tibetan tulpa to their evolution in Chaos Magic, servitors have captivated practitioners across cultures for centuries. We’ll explore how these "artificial" entities are brought to life through focused intention, ritual practices, and symbolic frameworks. What makes servitors so intriguing is their dual nature: are they metaphysical tools harnessing unseen energies or psychological projections manifesting from the depths of our subconscious? Along the way, we’ll uncover lesser-known historical practices, the influence of modern thinkers like Carl Jung, and how servitors are used today—not only for magical purposes but also for self-development and creative empowerment.

Let's explore the intricate history between Christianity and witchcraft, tracing how the Church's views on magic and supernatural practices evolved from the early Christian period to the modern day. This lecture unpacks the meaning of 'witchcraft' within a Christian context, revealing how the term came to signify a threat to divine authority. Through scriptural interpretations, the perspectives of early Church Fathers, and medieval theological distinctions between 'white' and 'black' magic, we uncover Christianity's shifting stance—from condemnation and demonology-fuelled witch hunts to ambivalent tolerance of folk practices. We also examine the rise of ceremonial magic traditions, such as Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry, which attempted to harmonise Christian mysticism with esoteric pursuits, and how these traditions influenced contemporary Pagan practices. This video sheds light on the far-reaching impact of these historical interactions, showing how Christian symbolism continues to influence modern Paganism and esotericism. Dive into this fascinating journey through faith, fear, and the ongoing dialogue between Christianity and witchcraft.

Let's delve into the enigmatic world of Western esotericism through the lens of Fernando Pessoa, my favourite poet and a fascinating figure in both literature and esoteric thought. Pessoa's unique approach to esotericism, embodied through his famous heteronyms, presents a multifaceted exploration that challenges traditional perspectives on spirituality, philosophy, and identity. We’ll start by situating Pessoa in the broader academic discourse on esotericism, examining Antoine Faivre’s foundational model and Wouter Hanegraaff’s expanded definitions. We then explore how Pessoa’s heteronyms—distinct personas like Alberto Caeiro, Ricardo Reis, and Álvaro de Campos—each offer a unique esoteric worldview, from naturalistic pantheism to mystical modernism, showcasing a plurality of voices that embody different spiritual paths. In addition, we’ll uncover Pessoa’s complex relationship with the notorious occultist Aleister Crowley, highlighting how their collaboration at the Boca do Inferno became a legendary event, blending real life and esoteric performance.
