The High Wisdom

Hermetics, Astronomy, and the Path of Heavens

I am seeking students for the path of the High Wisdom.

This path concerns Hermetics, traditional astronomy, sacred cosmology, the seven heavens, the order of the stars, the language of symbols, and the ancient knowledge by which the wise understood the relation between heaven, man, time, and destiny.

It is not a course. It is not a public circle. It is not a paid program. It is not entertainment.

It is a path for those who are inwardly serious, intellectually capable, spiritually disciplined, and willing to be formed by study, contemplation, silence, and the old sciences.

I will teach freely those whom I find fit.

Basic Qualifications

Those who request entry must:

  1. Be able to attend in person around Washington, DC.

  2. Be patient in learning.
    The High Wisdom is not taken quickly, and it does not open itself to haste.

  3. Be serious and disciplined.
    Curiosity alone is not enough.

  4. Be discreet.
    The student must vow to keep knowledge with its people, and not scatter what is entrusted to them before the unready.

  5. Be morally steady.
    The path is not for the reckless, the vain, or those seeking power over others.

  6. Not be ruled by fear.
    The student must not fear old names, ancient symbols, difficult questions, or the depth of the heavens.

  7. Be capable of reverence.
    Not blind obedience, but reverence for wisdom, teachers, texts, symbols, and the unseen order of things.

  8. Be able to read and contemplate.
    This path requires reading, silence, reflection, and memory.

  9. Be willing to be corrected.
    The unteachable cannot be taught.

  10. Seek wisdom, not spectacle.
    Those looking for entertainment, vanity, quick powers, or social media mysticism should not apply.
