Magic was considered a τέχνη to the Ancient Greeks, that is, a discipline or craft that possessed a learnable and distinct set of skills. 

Alongside sources of ancient ritual practice, such as the Greek, Coptic & Demotic ritual manuals, I believe a thorough understanding of historical context, informed by archaeology, is key to truly understanding how magic works, and the role it played in the lives of ancient practitioners.

Across centuries, the act of ritual and contemplation has facilitated altered states of consciousness, establishing unequivocal links with forces that are supra rational & extraordinary. Such experiences, I believe, facilitate altered states of knowledge and Ways of Being in the world.

With the secularisation of society, and growing influence of atheistic materialism, we have experienced a loss of coherence in our worldviews and a disconnection from practices and narratives that historically provided life with meaning and purpose.

Such wisdom is no longer an esoteric relic but an indispensable beacon that guides us through a turbulent world. In our pursuit of survival amidst global shifts, insights and practices that broaden our mind & re-establish connections with the Unseen are not just desirable, but imperative.

What to Expect

Drawing from the tradition of philosophy laid down by Pierre Hadot, I believe that philosophy is a Way of Life, and following the Lithuanian Neoplatonist scholar Algiz Uždavinys, can be a Rite of Rebirth.

Rooted in archaeology & historical texts, this program acknowledges three core pillars in its approach to education:

  • Historical Texts on Magic & Religious Practices
  • Folkloric Accounts, Records & References
  • Living Traditions & Ethnography

By combining each of these aspects over the course of 12 modules, you will gain a foundational understanding in the theory and practice of magical and contemplative practices drawn from different cultures, both ancient and modern.

From Archaic Goētia, Neoplatonic & Egyptian Theurgy to Medieval, Renaissance & Early Modern Grimoire work and the Faery Faith of the British Witch Trials, you will understand such practices and how to create a living tradition of your own.

Modules Included:

Module 1: A Brief History of Magic

The presence of magic in nearly every culture on earth throughout history is an enigma that puzzles us in every field of study. What is the source of magic's resilience? How does a craft endure the relentless march of time while navigating the skepticism born of unfulfilled promises? Here we cover the historical development of the Western Esoteric Tradition.

Module 2: Fundamentals of Practice

Here you will immerse yourself in magical theory. Drawn from traditional and folk witchcraft, we will delve into the quintessential elements that have shaped these practices in Early Modern Trial accounts. We will build the foundations of your knowledge in ritual, pneumatology & consciousness.

Module 3: Energetic Mechanics

Here we will draw from Eastern & Sanskrit sources to engage with the energetic mechanics and anatomy of the subtle body. Through reference to Tibetan & Vajrayanic Buddhism and Tantric traditions we explore the practices of Yoga, Meditation & Prana. We culminate by exploring Deity Yoga & the Neuroscience of Meditation and Ecstatic Experiences.

Module 4: Energetic Mechanics II

Here we deepen your understanding of energy and the role that self awareness plays in harmonising the subtle bodies. We explore advanced techniques for discerning, redirecting, and amplifying energy currents and moving energy through distinct channels in order to detect any impediments that hinder its flow. We train you in empathy, emotional intelligence, and the establishment of healthy personal boundaries that form a cornerstone of this practice.

Module 5: Interpretive Magic

Here we begin working practical magic, with the rudiments of Candle, Sigil, and Chaos magic—an intricate collection of modernist methodologies that lay the groundwork for more exploration. Throughout this Module we also explore divination, projection, warding, and waning which become foundational to future work. We culminate by exploring magic in popular culture and how it has woven itself into the fabric of contemporary society.

Module 6: Pneumatology

Here we explore the historical and cross-cultural narratives that underscore the identification of spirits, both in the Western Tradition & Contemporary Ethnographic accounts. We draw upon historical world mythologies, culminating in a comprehensive exploration of the Demonic Hierarchies found within the Psuedomonarchia and Medieval Grimoires. We scrutinise the essence of spiritual entities, discussing their ontological existence & the nature of theophanies. This Module equips you with the tools to navigate interactions with spiritual entities.

Module 7: The Western Mystery Tradition

Here we trace the evolution of the concept of Western Esotericism. The lectures here serve as a comprehensive account that explores the meaning of terms such as "Esoteric," "Evocation," and "Conjuration." We explore the origins of the Ceremonial Tradition from Archaic Goeteia & the Greek Magical Papyri and follow their journey into Europe, giving birth to the Solomonic Tradition.

Module 8: 21st Century Solominkē

Following our discussion of historical Ceremonial practices, we look to contemporary accounts and personal experience of our instructors to reconstruct a modern praxis, including a working methodology of tools, Goetic Divination & Liturgy, and ultimately break down the structure and steps of full ceremonial evocation based on the streams of work laid down by the Sourcework of Ceremonial Magic series of Dr Stephen Skinner, and the Grimoirum Verum of Jake Stratton-Kent.

Module 9: Beyond the Circle

Having explore the methodologies of Ceremonial Magic and the nature of spirits, we move to cultivating ritual into an enduring practice and lifestyle -a Way of Being, characterised by perpetual and advantageous communication with necessary forces. We make your identity as a practitioner a living, everyday and palpable thing as we explore pathways through which communication with spirits becomes a dynamic reality, not confined by ritualistic boundaries.

Module 10: Hallowed Ground

Here you will culminate your understanding of energy work with advanced practices, including the mechanics, ethics, and strategies of spiritual combat. We explore philosophies from the Art of War to create wards and energetic constructs for defence and subtle body automation. This Module will enable you to craft fortified boundaries, intricate energetic forms, and wield potent influence within the metaphysical landscape. Finally we will equip you with the skills to imbue your environment with sanctity, fostering an empowered and transformative atmosphere.

Module 11: Thoughtforms & Egregores

Here we explore the pinnacle of Theosophical Energy Work: the history, theory, and practice of constructing a Thoughtform. We trace the evolution of the concept, looking at its lineage from the Tibetan Tulpa of the Bardo Thodol to the expansive Theosophical Thoughtform and the intricacies of Chaos Magic Servitors, Egregores, and Godforms. We lead you through the process of Thoughtform creation, nurturing, and eventual release.

Module 12: Entering the Twilight

Within this final Module, the trifecta of historical, textual, and folkloric evidence forms the cornerstone of our lectures, substantiating the existence of consciousness apart from the body. We navigate the pathways toward achieving successful Out-of-Body Experiences (OBEs) & Magisterial Dream Visions. Here we outline how ritual and ceremony can serve as catalysts for altered states of consciousness. We use methodologies that enable you to craft and inhabit your very own Astral Temple and culminate with Golden Dawn practices of Tattva Vision and Journeys to Inner Planes.

Chris has done an extraordinary job!  This program is a massive undertaking, a year in the planning to my recollection. Chris is a great lecturer and a gift to us. Thank you Chris for all that you do.   Best & cheers, Sean.

Chris and his understanding of the Occult philosophies are apparent in his presentation throughout the classes and events I've had the pleasure of witnessing. I feel as though he offers a perspective from experience that not many have found themselves led into and has been called to assist in the guidance.

I just want to say thank you so much for this Chris Lyon, it was much needed. I needed someone to talk to who understands what I’m going through in the physical through spiritual fields.  I had guidance. So thank you so much Chris, you healed me in ways I have been looking for a long time. I am truly grateful and I am sending the healing back to you.

I have way less apprehension about the term occult. There is still a lot to learn, but I feel my reasoning skills have been sharpened by lifting the "fear" barrier. I have more emotional control when the term "book of dead, dark magic, occult" and other words come up. I feel like I have new eyes to see the symbolism in movies, books and documentaries. I have a new found ability to get to new levels of depth with my own mind and my shadows, without fearing that I'm losing myself somewhat. I have an appreciation of the similarities between cultures and time periods unlike never before.

What I have appreciated the most is the over-view and the well-researched background history of magical practice. Many things I was already familiar with , but had no idea where they originated. This program brings to mind that phrase "a little bit of knowledge is dangerous." When it comes to magic, it is not something that can be learned in a week-end. This program helped me connect a lot of the dots in my practice.

Man, the gains…. Confidence in knowing there are actual paths that can be taken, in knowing it’s still my path so whatever I do will work for me. I gained an appreciation for the multitude of paths available in occultism and the knowledge each of these available paths can offer. I've developed a love for the knowledge shared from Chris' life experiences, interactions and education. Plus the other students in the group are cool. 

I have a few previous issues in my life….my lived experiences, interactions and education. 

I knew that what I lived through was cultish but i didn’t know how much was fear/power/indoctrination and how much was actually based on knowledge and truth. This program has helped alleviate lingering fears, taboos and ignorance about things I actually knew very little truth about. (Like so many things!) Somehow this program has given me a new appreciation for myself and all that  am.

I took OMM because it called to me along with all of the other forbidden knowledge i’ve been choosing to experience. I came into it with no actual expectations since I felt like it was something I needed to learn; so i’ve just been going with the flow and feeling my feelings along the way, and experiencing the awesomeness that comes with this learning. I’ve learned that magic is the thing inside that i’ve been attempting to harness my entire life without understanding who, what, where, when, why and how.

-Lydia Coull

What drew me in to OMM well where to start... About 3 or 4 years ago, I think I was tried of being angry at the spiritual/religious path I left behind. I decided to take my own spirituality into my hands, and I had looked into many different ways to do so. Like self help mindsets, meditation, and a ton of new age practices. And some eastern ones like Reiki healing. I have a lot to learn in all of these. I'm not even close to saying I've mastered any of it. However I was coming to a point, where I felt like I had become stale or stagnated in any of the visualisation or energy techniques I had become accustomed to.

Then along came Occult Mystery and Magic. I was the first one to write in the old chat: "Oh gods send me a Poet”. I had a small background in what you could call Occultism from my time hanging out in a Metaphysical shop, and the dozen or so sessions I had the pleasure to get to sit down with my aunty back in 1999.

When I look back on it, most of what I have been exposed to was very entry level or beginner, and OMM just hit me like a freight train in my mind spirit and soul. I felt like "why didn’t I look into this sooner". It set a fire under me.

It challenges me every week. I can’t count how many time throughout the whole year my point of view has shifted or changed completely. And each time I try something new its like I just dive into a whole new world or time if you will. What OMM did for me and still is every week is set a strong foundation for a higher dive . So I can dive even deeper into getting to know myself and the spirituality of the world and where most of it comes from. That in itself had a very grounding affect. I can honestly say as of today I am a daily practitioner in the occult and it gave me accountability to myself and what I wish to practice. I’m mostly in control of what that will be never mind my Influences.
