Martin Faulks has written a smallish booklet about the fascinating Art of Memory that Freemasonry adopted at some point, but which dates back much further. Highly interesting!

Greg’s Occult of Personality

Greg Kaminsky is a scholar of the Western esoteric tradition, with a graduate degree in Medieval Studies, focusing on Renaissance Cabala. Greg became an initiate in several traditions including Illuminism and Freemasonry. Greg is also host and producer of Occult of Personality, a highly regarded and long-running podcast.

From her very early childhood on, Ursula Cserenyi‘s life was filled with spiritual experiences. Later she found the appropriate words in books. Occultism and esotericism have been a part of her life for more than 20 years. Her interests included Wicca, Theosophy, Ritual Magic, Thelema, Shamanism and other paths.
Today she feels a strong connection with Josephine McCarthy’s Quareia work and Babalon, the Red Goddess.
