Ariel SiroccoAriel Sirocco is an Integrative Hermeticist following the Corpus Hermetica and related writings and a teacher of ancient Hermetic history and esoteric traditions.  He has taught at several esoteric conventions and countless private gatherings.  Ariel has an academic background in biology and 15 years with the American Museum of Natural History.

Ariel has been a practicing occultist since 1983.  He was initiated as a High Priest of the Minoan Temple, Inc. of New York in 1998 and The Temple of the Spiral Path-NYC in 2004. During this time, he realized that the scientific and the esoteric were two sides of a coin named “Ritual” and, thus, began his true calling: Hermetics.  This shift of perception would dominate his esoteric and mundane life to this very day.

 

He moved to Connecticut for several years where he started Coven Quiddity (2006).  It grew into the Akashic Temple (2009) and ran monthly meetings and a few major events during the year.  In 2007, he joined the Masonic fraternity and his attentiveness quickly raised him through the ranks reaching Master Mason in 2008.  In 2012, he became a 32-Degree Mason of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and Washington Council Princes of Jerusalem, Master of Ceremonies (2012-2013) of the Scottish Rite, Valley of Bridgeport, Ct.  In 2017, Ariel became the Worshipful Master of Union Lodge No.5 in Stamford, Ct.

During this time, his passion with Hermetics led him to reach out across the United States and abroad to Amsterdam, NE in search of Elders.  He found his teachers on the West Coast – in California.  In 2015, Ariel was granted an encampment charter (an international Solomonic-Hermetic Order) for: “New Alexandria-NYC.”

It is Ariel’s belief that this “New Age of Esotericism” deserves academic exploration without sacrosanct or circular defenses.  If this does not happen, the entire family of “pagan and esoteric traditions” will fall into disrepair, ill repute, and eventually dismissed as merely fanciful.

 

We must take our own theology out of infancy, pass the fantastic, and into the reality of the truly unbelievable where fact is always stranger than fiction.
