Please join us as Bryce Churchill gives an overview of the history of the Rosicrucians. From the anonymous publication of the Fama Fraternitatis and the Confessio Fraternitatis in 1614 and 1615, to the more recent foundation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Temple of Thelema, this mysterious order has profoundly influenced every major occult revival since its emergence. We will cover the Rosicrucian philosophy and myth of its central figure and founder, Christian Rosenkreuz.

Aleister Crowley used this ancient Chinese method of divination daily for a large portion of his magickal career. He also made a large contribution to Hermetic magick by mapping the Trigrams of the I Ching to Kabalistic and Astrological archetypes, thus making it easier for practitioners of Thelemic magick to integrate into their own practices. The oracle of the I Ching differs in many ways from the Tarot, and in particular can be useful for more practical "mundane" matters. This seemingly complex system can actually be broken down into simple terms that can allow even the most novice student to use immediately. Join us, as we learn the history and methods of this valuable divinatory system.
