An introductory course for astrologers, magicians, and those interested in uniting the Above & Below
Taught by Marlene Seven Bremner & Jonah Emerson-Bell
January 20th to March 16th, 2024
Saturdays 2 pm - 4 pm MT (except Feb 10th)
2-hours each over Zoom*
Course Description
In this eight-part series, students will be immersed in an in-depth exploration of the seven traditional planets visible to the naked eye: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, and the Sun. These seven “Wandering Stars” are a crucial component of the Hermetic arts of Astrology, Magic, and Alchemy.
In this course students will be given a comprehensive understanding of the planets and the various ways that they express their energies in both the individual and the collective psyche, as well as a variety of techniques for communing with the planets for greater self awareness, self expression, and understanding of these important archetypal and cosmic forces.
Through this series of courses, students will learn how planetary energies manifest in daily life, how to work with them in practical ways, and how to understand their placement in the birth chart. Students will be introduced to alchemical and magical practices for fostering personal relationships with the planets as well as transmuting their more challenging aspects.
*Classes will be remote by Zoom. If you’re not able to attend a live class at any point, all sessions will be recorded. Students will receive a PDF of the powerpoint and a downloadable recording of the class.
