Workshop Spotlight: Fireology
Fireology: with Ariel Sirocco
Fire has been an important part of all cultures and
religions, from pre-history to modern day, and was vital to the
development of Civilization. With such a rich and wide landscape, are
we placing “the idea of fire” in its proper mental, esoteric, and
ritual framework? In this lecture, we’ll look at the very roots of
“Fire” and its Promethean legacy. We’ll explore spiritual and cosmic
fire, the “terrestrial fire” of the Tartarus, and how human evolution,
both culturally and anatomically, was touched by this divine
elemental. In this lecture, we will take the swaddling clothes off
our current understanding of the “fire mythos,” taking these beliefs
out of their modern infancy, pass the fantastic, and into the reality
of the truly unbelievable where fact is always stranger than fiction.
This is a TWO-HOUR CLASS with a PowerPoint presentation and handouts.
Speaker Spotlight: Ariel Sirocco
Ariel Malachi Sirocco is an Integrative Hermeticist following the Corpus Hermetica and related writings; as such, he is a hardcore Panentheist. He frequently teaches ancient Hermetic history and traditions and has taught at several esoteric conventions along the Northeast and at countless private gatherings. Ariel has an academic background in biology (Q.C.) and 15 years with the American Museum of Natural History. To this day, he weaves his scientific knowledge with his ritual.
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 pursuit and calling: Hermetics.
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. In Amsterdam, he reached out to and
visited the world-renounced University of Hermetics (@ U.o.A.).
However, he found his teacher on the West Coast – in California and in
2015, Ariel was granted an encampment charter from the Ordo Templi
Astartes (OTA) for New York City area.
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.
