Stephen Mandes Thomas on A Gnostic and Magic Christmas Special

Ho ho, Yaldi! Stephen Mandes Thomas joins me to discuss his new book, The Sacramental Magic of Advent. We’ll focus on the Gnostic and Esoteric Christian gifts for the yuletide and solstice seasons, aiming to re-enchant a world grown tired of bland materialism. We’ll also delve into the liturgical cycle to uncover the magical philosophy behind other sacred seasons, fasts, and traditional feasts. You will find deep connections between esoteric Christianity and other mystical streams beyond Gnosticism, such as Rosicrucianism and Hermeticism. By integrating ceremonial ritual with daily prayer and meditation, you get ready to perceive the divine across various planes of existence.
