In this episode Jaime, Jake and Pat discuss the cosmological model used by the ancient Hermetists, consisting of the spheres of the elements, planets, zodiac, and beyond.
Based on the system popularized by Ptolemy, this model was shared by the Neoplatonists, Gnostics, Mithraists, and Christians and, as such, is one of the foundational keys to a better understanding of the Western Esoteric Traditions – be it Tarot, magic, alchemy, Qabalah or Freemasonry.
