What you will find

A journey
with clear provenance.

  • Leviticus, Enoch and the Apocalypse of Abraham as distinct witnesses.
  • Teaching, transmission, harm and repair within each narrative.
  • Milton, Blake and other documents of reception, with their references visible.
  • Twelve contemporary ceremonies on study, commitments, petitions and responsible transmission.
  • Reading workshops, preparation, formulas, closing and practice records.

You can follow the historical journey without doing the practices. If you choose to explore them, you will find contemporary compositions clearly identified as such, with preparation, practice and closure.
