On Sunday, September 23, William Blake Lodge in the Valley of Baltimore will host a presentation by Soror Hypathia, The Delicious Languor of the Magical Retirement.
Sept. – Oct. 2006 saw the manifestation of Sr. Hypathia’s vision to complete a magical retreat lasting a lunar month. This lecture discusses the scheduling, design, and implementation of the process that led to the ritual, and how a modern magician may realize a similar aspiration in their own spiritual development. From funding the time off work to hot outfits for sex magick to the strict daily discipline of the Work itself, this lecture explores the beauty of creating space for a break in one’s life as well as the strength it takes to pull off a major magical operation. For all levels.
