About this Event
MAGIC OF BOOKS SERIES
Tabula Bembina, also known as the Tablet of Isis, is a bronze tablet with silver inlay Greco-Egyptian Hieroglyphs from circa 1st century. This mysterious tabletdrew the eyes of many scholars through the centuries especially prior to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone which led to understanding the hieroglyphic language. Despite its enigmatic origins prominent occultists applied their esoteric interpretations to the Table of Isis in hopes of drawing the essence of divine knowledge from its pictorial narrative. In this session of the Magic of Books, William Kiesel will explore these esoteric interpretations and show how the magical language of the occult is applied to symbolic works and offer a unique and surprising insight into the mysteries of self and cosmos.
William Kiesel is a practitioner and scholar of esoteric symbol systems in historical and contemporary contexts. He brings his decades of scholarship and experience in the antiquarian book trade together as the director at Ouroboros Press, the publisher of classic texts of Western Esotericism.
As faculty at 22 Teachings School of Hermetic Science and Magical Arts he teaches four branches of the Western Mystery Tradition: Alchemy, Astrology, Qabalah and Theurgy. www.bookarts.org
