Join William Kiesel for a series of engaging talks on books and book culture surrounding the wisdom traditions housed in the PRS Library. Books are vessels of coagulated thought, distilled and filtered through the minds of authors, artists and adepts. Understanding the technology of the book and the laboratory of the library grants the seeker access to the esoteric secrets that can aid them on their journey of discovery. Presented in the peaceful environs of the PRS Library, William uses some of the bibilographic treasures of the library to illustrate multi-disciplined topics aimed at bringing deeper awareness into these important literary tools which have preserved the ageless wisdom for centuries.
July 10 - Secret Books of the Rosicrucians
In the seventeenth century secret Rosicrucian manuscripts were passed around Europe offering explosive new viewpoints in religion and esotericism, including astrology, alchemy, cabala and divine theurgy. These ideas formed a flashpoint of controversy and sparked a growing movement that has influenced many esoteric practitioners down to modern times. This library talk will exhibit some of the Rosicrucian holdings of the PRS library and feature a particular Rosicrucian text and its influences, the Codex Rosae Crucis, published by Manly P. Hall in 1938.
