About this Event

The 12 Labors of Life: The Evolution of the Soul According to Hercules with Michael Samu


The great myths are not stories from the past; they are living maps for the soul. The 12 Labors of Hercules, one of the most enduring legends of the West, is not just a tale of a hero battling monsters. As the great theosophist Alice Bailey illuminated, it is a profound and precise allegory for the soul's 12-stage journey through the Zodiac.

Join Magick Mike in this fascinating lecture as he decodes this divine curriculum. Drawing from Bailey's seminal work, this presentation will guide attendees through each of the 12 labors, one sign at a time. Discover how each labor represents a specific psychological test, a core spiritual lesson, and a distinct stage of human development.

From the impulsive fire of Aries to the final dissolution in Pisces, this lecture unveils the Zodiac as a complete, practical path of self discovery and growth. This is a talk for any seeker, Mason, or student of the mysteries who wishes to understand the hero's journey as the blueprint for their own life.


Michael "Magick Mike" Samu is an esoteric researcher and Masonic scholar raised in the mystical landscape of Joshua Tree. A 32° Freemason, Kriya Yogi, and Ceremonial Magician, his work focuses on synthesizing these traditions to explore life as a living mystery school.

He is a published writer in the Fraternal Review (one of the last physical print magazines on Freemasonry and esoterica), the PRS Journal (now PRS Substack), and for the "Magick Mike Substack." He also serves as Organist for "Three Great Lights" Whittier #323 Masonic Lodge and the Southern California Research Lodge #1002 - Home of the Fraternal Review.


Ticket price: $12 (in-person & online event)

*A recording of the talk will be sent a few days after the event date and will be available for 2 weeks.
