In preparation for our simultaneous workings of a paredros ritual from the Magical Papyri (starting on the 24th), we will take a look at some interesting sections from Stephen Flowers’ contextualizing contribution to the Hermetic traditions of the Papyri: Hermetic Magic. We’ll read “Origins” (pp. 3-17), “Principles of the Hermetic Synthesis” (pp. 37-43), “Daimonology” (pp. 99-100), and “Magical Theories” (pp. 135-141). See you then.
