6pm on Saturday, May 30
7pm Book signing & social hour
In this informative lecture, Dr. Shoemaker will explore the root principles of Thelema, the mystical and magical system of Aleister Crowley.
While sometimes appearing dark to the casual observer, Thelema will be revealed as a life-affirming path of freedom, power, wisdom and light, in harmony with other systems of personal and spiritual growth.
Special reference will be made to the work of Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich–two 20th century psychiatrists whose work parallels that of Crowley in many ways.
