Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

Ryan Adam Murray will be hosting a lecture & discussion on the subject of Occult Philosophy. This talk will examine the philosophical questions raised by the practice of Ceremonial Magick. What ethical questions will we face? What does the existence of beings like Gods and Angels imply for metaphysics? What does this mean for our approach to politics? By approaching this subject we also will be able to address more practical aspects of how a Ceremonial Magician integrates the use of occult forces into their daily life.
