Erich Neumann on Hasidism: ‘Elevating the Holy Sparks’ examines Neumann’s interpretation of the ‘elevation of the sparks’ of creation, a central theme of Kabbalah and Hasidism. Neumann, assimilated German Jew and Zionist, was one of the most important disciples of C.G. Jung. He fled Germany in 1934, settled in Tel Aviv and began a deep philosophical and psychological investigation of Judaism that continued throughout the war years. He wrote two unpublished volumes, the second being The Roots of Jewish Consciousness Volume Two: Hasidism, finally published in 2019.
His central insight is that the Hasidic view of creation as creative nothingness (ayin) corresponds to the Jungian approach to how consciousness emerges out of the unconscious in the individual and the world. He shows that the unconscious has three levels: personal (as in Freud); collective, the relatively fixed field of the archetypes; and the ‘Self-field’, which channels divine wisdom and guidance into the world, through its ability to compensate for the relative rigidity of the personal and archetypal levels.
Especially compelling is his understanding of the purpose of the Hasidic path as one of making the world transparent, through being able to read the symbolic nature of reality conveyed by the Self-field. He shows how this goal is compatible with Jungian individuation, which is to be distinguished from individualism. Unfortunately, Neumann’s individualist conception of the collective as inimical to individuation, leads to an anomian conception of spirituality. This conception denigrates the practical and psychic structures provided by community and mitsvot that actually support the goal of individuation.

Neste artigo, demonstraremos de que modo o fenômeno esotérico pode ser compreendido como um resultado de entrelaçamentos transculturais, tomando como objeto de análise o primeiro capítulo do Lemegeton, intitulado "Of the Arte Goetia", um grimório de magia salomônica que trata da invocação de espíritos. Para fundamentar nossa análise, utilizaremos dois conceitos teóricos fundamentais: a noção de “vórtice histórico”, desenvolvida pela historiadora brasileira Aline Dias da Silveira, e a concepção de esoterismo elaborada por Kocku von Stuckrad. Com base nesses arcabouços teóricos, definiremos o que entendemos por transculturalidade e vórtice histórico, estabelecendo, em seguida, uma relação entre esses processos e o fenômeno esotérico presente no Goetia.

Resumo Este artigo pretende traçar as principais influências medievais e renascentistas que culminaram na figura dos espíritos presentes no grimório de magia salomônica do século XVII intitulado The arte Goetia. Por meio da concepção de esoterismo desenvolvida por Kocku von Stuckrad e pelo uso de alguns pressupostos da história intelectual desenvolvidos por Quentin Skinner, buscaremos compreender como as tradições islâmicas, cristãs e herméticas construíram a ideia de demônio-daimon-djinn presentes na fonte analisada, passando pelos séculos XII até o XVII.

2025, RAPTURE OR ABDUCTION?

This paper presents a theological apologetic that critically examines the conceptual parallels between alien abduction narratives and the Christian doctrine of the rapture. While rooted in contrasting worldviews-scientific materialism versus biblical eschatology-both accounts involve sudden disappearance, transformation, and contact with non-human entities. Drawing from Scripture, historical theology, and cultural analysis, the study argues that alien abduction myths often serve as secular distortions of biblical truth, particularly eschatological themes. By engaging these phenomena with doctrinal clarity and spiritual discernment, the Church can reclaim its interpretive authority and respond meaningfully to contemporary fascination with extraterrestrial encounters and interdimensional speculation.

2025, Negative Natural Theology

William James’ radical empiricism is a largely forgotten moment in nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophy. In contrast to a corrosive and reductive Humean empiricism, ‘radical’ empiricism considers every type of experience to enjoy the same status, qua being an experience, There is no hierarchical ordering, such that some experiences are regarded as ‘representing’ external reality, and others as not doing so. Although James does not take it to such a ‘radical’ space, we might also include experiences such as dreams, imagination, and meditations. William James endorses a type of ‘pluralistic pantheism’ as a manifestation of his radical empiricism. Drawing on the work of the anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann, and the historian of paganism Ronald Hutton, the chapter investigates the extent to which we might find a manifestation of such pluralistic pantheism, grounded in radical empiricism, in the practices and experiences of modern paganism.

Maine de Biran (1766-1824) was one of the most influential philosophers in France during the nineteenth century, being the principal inspiration for French spiritualism and French reflexive philosophy. He was also a significant Freemason. This article offers a translation of Biran's two surviving Freemasonry Speeches, delivered c. 1810, and an introduction to Biran's Freemasonry from the perspective of his philosophical work. The introduction gives a timeline of Biran's Freemasonry and an overview of the text of the Speeches. It then considers some principal themes in francophone Freemasonic culture of the Restoration, especially the practice of ritualized introspection, before moving onto compare, briefly, the content of the Speeches to the main philosophical essay by Biran with which the Speeches is contemporaneous. Based on this evidence, the introduction makes suggestions regarding the role played by Freemasonry in the development of French spiritualism, and indicates trajectories for future research.

Review of Manfred Koch, Rilke. Dichter der Angst, München 2025

2025

Spiritual emergency is a phenomenon wherein individuals undergoing psychological crises may experience altered states of consciousness with transpersonal themes resembling symptoms of psychopathology. Rather than mere pathology, these altered states can catalyze a psychospiritual evolution for the individual in a generative direction, including flashes of wisdom that can benefit the collective. Considering the limits of biomedical treatment approaches to support these individuals, this paper seeks to formalize visionary art therapy as an art therapy intervention to facilitate integration for people undergoing spiritual emergencies, and to honor the universal wisdom arising amidst their altered states. As a depth psychologist and artist, I share an autoethnographic case study of my own spiritual emergency following a traumatic loss, for which I embraced visionary art therapy to express spiritual insights arising during my trauma healing journey. Referencing Jung, I describe my process of painting tarot cards as archetypal images from the collective unconscious, which together depict a six-stage process of spiritual evolution that can occur amidst trauma healing. My artwork seeks to offer universal wisdom for all people experiencing a dark night of the soul induced by trauma. I include practical recommendations for psychotherapists to facilitate visionary art therapy for clients undergoing spiritual emergencies.

2025, The Occult Review

The belief in elementary spirits, originating from primitive animism and the idea of spirits inhabiting natural elements, evolved through Cabalistic and Alchemical traditions. Paracelsus and Abbé Montfaucon de Villars popularized the concept of four elemental races: Gnomes (earth), Sylphs (air), Salamanders (fire), and Undines (water). This belief, influencing literature and folklore, diverges from fairy traditions in its focus on elemental guardianship rather than crop growth.

Click on a superscripted endnote number in the text to jump to its corresponding endnote; click on the superscripted endnote numeral in the endnotes to return to the original text reference. DURING the last decade histories of witchcraft and popular volumes on the subject have literally poured from the Press, and it may safely be said that somewhat less than 10 per cent of these compositions are of any real moment or utility to serious occult science. Popular novelists and American journalists are scarcely to be depended upon for anything but an inexpensive and sordid sensationalism when dealing with matters which might more appropriately be left in the hands of the occult historian or the anthropologist. Until some twenty years ago Scientific writers on the subject of witchcraft were content to compare its methods with those of the savage medicine man, and to leave it at that. Sound as was this treatment, however, the works of Charles Godfrey Leland upon Italian witchcraft revealed larger possibilities, while more than one passage in the literature of sorcery made it apparent that certain dements of coordination and organization were present in European witchcraft to a degree unknown to the practitioners of savage shamanism, and that this must be taken into account when assessing the whole position.

2025, Modern Judaism : A Journal of Jewish Ideas and Experience

This article seeks to direct attention to one unusual figure who provided his own interpretation of the renewal of prophecy during the generation of redemption (i.e., the success of Zionism and the creation of the State of Israel). Rabbi David Kohen (1887-1972), known as Ha-Nazir, the Nazirite, was the author of a book entitled Kol ha-Nevu'ah [The Voice of Prophecy]. His original thought combines philosophy and Kabbalah, reason and experience, knowledge and creativity. He was also interested in questions of prophecy as a possible experience in the present, and many descriptions recounted in his personal diaries reveal the portrait of a mystic in search of an encounter with the beyond. This study will explore the man himself from his writings, especially through the descriptions of his mystical experiences that appear in his personal journal entitled Megillat Setarim. The methodology presented in this article is based on careful textual reading: an analysis of a phenomenon through its post-experiential written account, the product of later reflection, and based on the presumption that there is a connection between the mystical experience and the written record of that experience, despite the difference between the two.

Sefer Keter Torah by Rabbi Meir Lambert (Metz 1818) is the first book published in French aimed at teaching the Jewish religion to Jew children. Even though it is published in the form of questions and answers according to the model of the Christian catechism, it offers a traditional Jewish-religious vision, emphasizing the deep connection between faith and Halacha, and between mitzvot and values. However, Rabbi Lambert must face a new reality, thus far not encountered in traditional Jewish education: the Jews of France have become equal citizens within the non-Jewish population. Sefer Keter Torah responds to the challenge of modernity, while remaining true to the antique sources of Judaism.
This article presents Sefer Keter Torah, using a faithful reading in the different levels of the text, and which illustrates how the field of education links knowledge, society, and ideology.

This paper presents a comparative study of the critiques of modernity articulated by René Guénon and Taha Abdurrahman, two influential thinkers who, despite their distinct intellectual genealogies, converge in diagnosing modernity as a condition of spiritual and ethical disconnection. Guénon, writing from a metaphysical-traditionalist perspective, identifies modernity as the culmination of the "Reign of Quantity," a cosmic inversion in which the sacred order has been eclipsed by materialist and rationalist reductionism. His remedy lies in esoteric initiation and the recovery of perennial metaphysical principles. Taha Abdurrahman, grounded in Islamic ethical philosophy, frames modernity’s crisis through the concept of faṣl—the severance of reason, knowledge, and speech from ethical trusteeship (i’timāniyya). In contrast to Guénon’s contemplative withdrawal, Taha proposes a reformist project rooted in higher reason (ʿAql Ālī), moral witnessing (ishhād), and institutional renewal. The paper examines their respective anthropologies, epistemologies, and strategies for renewal, highlighting both their irreducible differences and potential complementarities. It argues that the dialectic between transcendence and trusteeship, as embodied by Guénon and Taha, offers a more holistic lens through which to critique and navigate the spiritual and ethical crises of modernity.

Nicolas Weill-Parot is the perfect example of the very rare and distinguished scientists ceaselessly investigating the subject of astral images (talismans porting simple or sophisticated motives of the universe), the relation of medieval science to its limits and also undeterminable structures seen as virtutes occultae. He is a former student of École Normale Supérieure of Ulm street. He defended his thesis on “astral images” in 1998 at University Paris 10 (Nanterre).2 He then delivered his lectures during 1999–2011 at University Paris 8 (Saint-Denis) as maître de conférences and during 2011–2016 at Université Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne as professeur. Since 2016, he has been a professor at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) in Paris.

The position of the Russian Orthodox Church on the war in the Ukraine - as guardian of the unity of East Slavic nations - is analyzed here with a view to her integration of the heritage of Slavic Paganism.
I argue that its deep connection and identification with the East Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian) cultures, includes the Pagan heritage, reinforcing its identity as custodian of the unity of this religious-cultural sphere, also in the political realm. Based on the Orthodox idea, developed by St. Maximos Confessor, that each nation and culture has its specific collective divine 'logos', of which the Church should be custodian, the deep identification of the Russian Orthodox Church with the Russian and the East Slavic 'land' is to be understood. The difference to the more universalist identity of Western Christianity is thus to be understood. This difference is to be acknowledged. Its implication of 'a right to differ', from the claim of Western cultures to universalism, is thus to be considered - with regard to philosophy and theology of cultures, and as its implications in the political sphere. In view of the common religious-cultural heritage and history of Russia and the Ukraine, their future relations, including their respective Orthodox Churches, may be considered, also for the time after the war.

2025, engeance de rebelles

Au printemps de l’an cent quarante, le comte Maxime de Porteil a proclamé la déchéance de son oncle le roi Alexandre et déclare être le roi légitime. Son frère puîné Jérôme le seconde en tant que chef de ses armées. Leur cadet, Isidore, reste en revanche fidèle au roi et à Léon, son fils, nommé stratège. Le récit du frère Artémon s’appuie sur les mémoires d’Isidore, sur le journal du médecin Marcel Pasteur, beau-frère de Maxime, des documents qui ont par ailleurs disparu des archives. A ces sources s’en ajoute une, qu’Artémon ne pouvait connaître, le journal d’un officier rebelle, Joël Galland, Hariste élevé à la cour du comte Maurice de Calestre.

Schieren's publication presents revised manuscripts from “The Philosophical Sources of Anthroposophy” lecture series (hereafter: Sources), given at Alanus University near Bonn, Germany, in winter 2017–2018. It has not yet been translated for an English-language edition, and it would serve Anglophone readers tremendously if it were to be: nothing comparable exists in English. Containing the arguments of eleven lectures given by ten different scholars, the work elucidates Steiner’s responses, and suggests intellectual connections, to some of the most canonical protagonists in the history of western ideas. In so doing, the authors also integrate twenty-first century perspectives – by the German phenomenologist Iris Henningfeld and the Canadian Charles Taylor, for example – and by non-anthroposophical thinkers who impacted debates on philosophy and psychology in Steiner’s day, most notably Franz Brentano (1838–1917), Eduard von Hartmann (1842–1906), and Edmund Husserl (1859–1938).

Christian Thomasius claims for himself the label of ‘eclectic philosopher.’ This claim first regards the emancipation of reason from any other authority, which not only allows him to claim new juridical rights but also to determine philosophy as a wisdom-for-the-world. This claim is, however, narrowed by both the limits of scholastic knowledge and the undue generalizations Thomasius finds in it. The claim is intended to make room for belief, and for a faith purified of all philosophical-theological confusion, i.e., for a wisdom-outside-the-world. Despite being an anti-dogmatist and anti-syncretist, Thomasius’ eclectic claim never proved to be—contrary to a common statement—anti-systematic nor anti-religious.

Depuis l'aube de l'humanité, la dualité fondamentale est la dualité de l'Etre et du Temps. Elle l'est aussi pour la philosophie qui, dès le début, oppose le divin éternel (l'Être) et les choses périssables du monde sublunaire. Pour les anciens, le Temps et l'Histoire sont sans valeurs et ne peuvent aboutir qu'à la catastrophe qui nécessite une renaissance et une régénération par un retour à l'Origine (Eternel retour). Pour l'humain occidental progressiste, c'est le contraire et si, pour lui, l'Être divin est mort, le Temps et l'Histoire sont ce qui lui importe le plus et on sait qu'il croit qu'il se crée lui-même en faisant l'Histoire comme le lui disent tous les philosophes de Hegel à Sartre. Les primitifs refusent d'entrer dans l'Histoire tout comme ils refusent l'instauration de l'Etat (cf. La société contre l'Etat de Pierre Clastres) sachant que l'entrée dans l'Histoire commence avec cette organisation étatique, l'invention de l'écriture et les premières sciences mathématiques et astronomiques. De ce fait, l'opposition entre l'être et le temps recoupe chez un Mircea Eliade l'opposition entre le mytho-religieux et le discours rationnel tandis que chez Jung c'est l'opposition entre l'âme inconsciente et le moi conscient. En terme lacanien, c'est l'opposition entre le "dit" et le "dire" mais contrairement à Lacan qui prend le parti du "dire" sachant que, pour lui, le "dit", l'être et le métaphorique ne sont que des illusions, Eliade propose un retour à l'Être et un "mépris" pour l'historicisme. De notre coté, concernant l'Être et le Temps, nous refusons toute unilatéralité qui nie son antagoniste et si nous rejetons aussi l'historicisme athée moderne, celui de "l'humain qui se crée en faisant l'Histoire", ce n'est pas pour revenir à un mytho-religieux archaïque, forcément sacrificiel mais pour concevoir une théologie de l'Histoire, celle d'un Dieu engagé dans l'Histoire sachant que c'est le judéo-christianisme qui est cette théologie de l'Histoire.

Prima facie il titolo potrebbe sembrare strano: che cosa c’entra il Filosofo con l’acrostico alchemico-ermetico? E’, more solito, una boutade dello scrivente? Forse…
Innanzitutto una premessa è d’obbligo. Questo lavoro nasce per caso, in seguito alla lettura di una dotta citazione ― forse per darsi un tono di grande cultura ― riportata in un giornale nazionale. Citazione riferentesi alla Conoscenza, ma non al concetto filosofico di questa, bensì a un mero accadimento.

Avant la crise averroïste datant de la fin du XIII e siècle, la théologie était la reine des sciences et toutes les autres étaient à son service, même la science naturelle avec pour base la théorie grecque des quatre éléments : Terre, Eau, Air et Feu. Il existait même, depuis le début du christianisme, une théorie naturaliste élémentale du "corps de résurection" fait de quintessence, synthèse harmonieuse des quatre éléments et de leurs qualités. Avant la chute et le péché d'Adam, cette quintessence était la matière pure dont était fait le paradis et dont sera fait la nouvelle "Jérusalem céleste" après la recréation finale du monde et la libération du mal conçu comme une disharmonie des éléments et de leurs qualités. L'auteur retrace le devenir de cette théorie élémentale du "corps glorieux", au long de l'Histoire, depuis l'apôtre Paul jusqu'à Jacob Boehme en passant par Jâbir ibn Hayyân, Jean Scot Erigène et surtout Raymond Lulle dont un des livres qu'on lui attribue s'intitule De secretis naturae seu de quintessencia.

Did we miss the opportunity? Is the last century indeed ‘the lost century’ as Dr Greer claims?
In a sense, yes: the window Rudolf Steiner pointed to has passed without anthroposophical forces successfully bringing forward a morally guided etheric technology. But Rudolf Steiner also emphasized that the Christ impulse works perpetually, and that human freedom always remains. Even now, spiritual work can counterbalance Ahrimanic forces — but it will take conscious, courageous efforts to redirect our cultures, social life and technologies, toward spiritual awakening.

This paper addresses the links between alchemy, mining and religion in the early modern alchemical iconography of the German mining theorist Martin Sturtz. He created a special version of the prayer Vaterunser (Our Father) for miners and metallurgists and used the images from Christian and alchemical iconography to demonstrate the history of the creation of metals and how they grow inside the Earth. In one of his images, the Saviour is crucified against the background of coloured strips or stripes, symbolizing the seven metals inside a sedimentary complex. In another miniature, the blood spilling from his wound gives rise to ore veins in which metals ripen. These and the other iconographical and textual examples from Sturtz's treatises show the attempt to connect the mining process with alchemical theory and Christian religion. This paper will shed light on the origins of this unusual alchemical imagery and its connection with other alchemical and theological works, especially those by Paul Lautensack.

Ich führe dagegen im folgenden den Nachweis, daß der Text von Ms. or. quart. 1568 umgekehrt eine Übersetzung des deutschen Textes ist und die hebräische Handschrift somit nicht vor 1600 entstanden sein kann.

This article explores the game of chess as a symbolic and spiritual training tool within the framework of Hebrew Kabbalah. Drawing from historical, biblical, and mystical sources, it analyzes the symbolic resonance of chess pieces, the duality of light and darkness, and the Tree of Life's sephirotic structure as mirrored in the board. The work offers insights into how strategic thinking, emotional mastery, and spiritual awareness can be cultivated through this ancient game, suggesting that chess serves not merely as a pastime, but as a battleground for the soul.

This is a paper on the source measure "43" albeit a work in process and a proposition of theories relating to the work of J. Ralston Skinner and Helena Blavatsky. All cycles not divided into the general average by the occultist are seen as septenary in division and also may be further multiplied as septenaries, and this we are told by the Tibetan Master. Karma plays a part in all this obviously so. The ray periods given in AKSD reveal the living numeric rate governing the periods, these periods are not always plain to see or calculate in races and sub-races, due to the obscure process of ray activity which lives out manifestation or pralaya in septenate an infinite number of multiples of the ray numeral which will obscure the numeric rate or value.
