Gnosticism has a pagan brother called Hermeticism, referred to as 'the kinder, gentler Gnosticism' because it sees the cosmos as a more harmonious and benign system where the soul can find liberation without all the nastiness.  Hermeticism thrived in ancient times but influenced The Renaissance, The Enlightenment Period and most of today’s Occult Studies.  We begin exploring this essential prism of The Gnostics, from its theology to its magical leanings.  We also give a lesson on how to Astral Travel from the comfort of your own home!....
