📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: The Battle at Blythe Road: A Theatrical Confrontation Amidst Occult Luminaries 🗓️ Published: 1900-04-19 📄 Summary: On a spring morning in London, the serene façade of 36 Blythe Road was shattered by a dramatic encounter between Aleister Crowley and members of the Isis Urania Temple of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, including the illustrious poet and mystic William Butler Yeats. This “theatrical farce” epitomizes the tensions woven through secret societies at the turn of the century – a nexus where mysticism met ideological strife and personal ambition. The event serves as a poignant reminder of the fragile boundaries between esoteric knowledge and the human passions that seek to wield it. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: The Greater Feast of Paracelsus: Reflections on Alchemy and Legacy 🗓️ Published: 2025-09-24T00:00:00+03:00 📄 Summary: September 24 marks the Greater Feast of Paracelsus, Theophrastus von Hohenheim, a towering figure whose synthesis of alchemy, medicine, and philosophy reshaped early modern thought. Revered as a pioneer in approaching the human body as a complex microcosm, his legacy extends beyond mere science to the spiritual and mystical realms. This day invites contemplation on the integration of empirical inquiry with esoteric wisdom, as echoed in Thelemic Tephilah practices and Saturn’s symbolic influence, inviting us to ponder the cycles of transformation inherent in life and knowledge. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: Disquietude of the Self: Embracing the Ever-Moving Target of Identity 🗓️ Published: 2025-09-25 📄 Summary: E. E. Cummings once urged us to "be nobody-but-yourself," recognizing this as the fiercest battle one can engage in a world bent on making you conform. Yet, the notion of selfhood is far from static; it is a fluid tapestry of shifting emotions, cells, and experiences. This article delves into the philosophical quandary of selfhood—not as a fixed essence but as a flowing river in which our identity continually evolves, challenging the very idea of knowing oneself completely in a perpetually changing existence. 🔗 https://www.themarginalian.org/2025/09/25/fernando-passoa-disquiet-self/ 🗞️ Source: Maria Popova 💓 #PhilosophyOfSelf #ExistentialThought #IdentityFluidity
