SUMMARY:I QING - Weekly Hexagram Session - Every Thursday
DESCRIPTION:I QING – Weekly Hexagram Session\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe IQing can be a very complex book to read. My purpose is to show you the structure or formula behind the hexagrams so that\, over time\, you can start using them in an intuitive way\, where you understand the images as keywords\, and you are able to relate them to any given situation in a creative way. \n\n\n\nEvery Thursday we will dive into a pair of Triagrams\, opening them line by line and making your personal moodboard so that you understand this ancient figures through your unique inner and cultural references. This will eventually help you internalize a guide to read any hexagram. \n\n\n\nOne of the beauties of the IQing lies in how you connect to it\, and when you are able to speak it from your personal truth\, it becomes a very powerful tool for yourself and for the other. \n\n\n\nt takes a lifetime to contemplate the IQing\, so free yourself of hurries and enjoy the immersions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBring something to take notes! \n\n\n\nAlejandra Santos: \n\n\n\n“I´ve practiced my spirituality through artistic techinques for more than 8 years. I want to share my methods to connect our conscious mind´s unique perceptions\, with our unconscious mind´s infinite well of sound & image generation. This together gives us powerful interpretation abilities of the symbols we all share within.”

SUMMARY:Echoes of the Occult: Exploring Music and Esoteric Themes
DESCRIPTION:Occult Imagery in Shaping the Music Industry of the Late 20th Century \n\n\n\nOccult imagery has had a profound impact on music since the 1960s\, with bands incorporating symbols and esoteric themes into their lyrics and album art. Krautrock and experimental music took this to new heights\, exploring sonic frontiers with synthesizers and innovative techniques to create mystical experiences. Collectives like Cosmic Couriers (Germany) blended science fiction and esoteric philosophy\, while the Vértigo label (UK) promoted conceptual albums exploring the occult. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPioneers such as Delia Derbyshire (UK) from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop used electronic sounds to create soundscapes evoking the mystical and the esoteric. The group White Noise (UK)\, with Ruth White (USA) as a key member\, delved into occult themes with their experimental music. Graham Bond (UK) integrated elements of occultism into his music and personal life\, influenced by Aleister Crowley. Master Wilburn Burchette (USA) crafted instrumental music aimed at inducing mystical and spiritual experiences\, blending innovative guitar techniques with esoteric concepts. Bruce Hack (Canada) explored the fusion of electronic music and occult themes\, using experimental sounds to evoke otherworldly and mystical experiences. Mort Garson (Canada) also made a notable contribution with his album “Black Mass Lucifer\,” a work that blends electronic music with themes of occult ritualism and esoteric philosophy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe use of synthetic sounds allowed musicians to combine ancestral traditions with futuristic visions\, creating new musical ritualities. Trance music\, with its repetitive rhythms\, sought to induce altered states of consciousness\, evoking shamanic rituals and profound spiritual experiences. \n\n\n\nIn this historiographical talk\, we will explore how these elements have influenced music and culture. The session will be complemented with sound examples and recordings illustrating these influences. Please note that this is not a DJ session\, nor is it a talk on music theory\, but a historiographical exploration of the intersections between music and the occult. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe talk is presented by J. Pablo Arce C.\, an artist\, collector\, and independent curator (Bolivia). Suggested donation is between 8 to 10 euros. Two reduced spots available at 5 euros each.

SUMMARY:Magick of Iran: Ritual Performance
DESCRIPTION:Magick of Iran: Ritual Performance\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“Magick of Iran” brings to life the rich history of Magick\, tracing its roots from “magus\,” the Latin word for Zoroastrian priests of the Iranian cultural region. This region\, encompassing parts of West Asia\, the Caucasus\, Central Asia\, South Asia\, and East Asia\, was shaped by ancient Iranian empires which interwove their cultural and linguistic elements with local traditions. \n\n\n\nThis performance reveals how Iranian Magick evolved\, particularly after the rise of Islam\, as it merged with Greco-Egyptian traditions\, including Neoplatonism and the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus. This syncretic form of magick reached Europe during the Crusades\, carried by orders such as the Knights Templar\, who later contributed to the evolution of Freemasonry. \n\n\n\nIn the late 19th century\, Victorian occultists\, influenced by a surge of ethnographic research\, reinterpreted these ancient practices\, leading to the creation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This order integrated various Magickal traditions\, including those of Iranian origin\, shaping modern Western esotericism. \n\n\n\nThis Ritual Performance aims to recontextualize the Iranian Magick that impacted the Golden Dawn and its subsequent traditions\, such as Thelema. By highlighting its original cultural significance and tracing its development within the Iranian cultural sphere\, it seeks to reclaim the essence of Iranian Magick\, restoring its true historical and cultural context.
