A Pathway in the Esoteric Traditions
Five courses on goddesses of nurture, abundance, and sovereignty across the Christian, Hindu, Mesopotamian, Greek, and Roman traditions. Each one drawn from the actual scholarship of the tradition.
I have completed three courses, have read one book and am in the process of completing several courses. I enjoy the maturity of the material and Baal’s ability to intertwine the intellectual, the Divine, the spiritual as well as the emotional components of one’s journey throughout life. Although I adore the mystical experience, Baal backs it up with documented evidence based facts. I have engaged in many spiritual paths and my favorite thing about this teacher is he refuses to follow the path of the many toxic gurus in our culture. His anonymity, his depth of humility and his ever expanding knowledge is refreshing. It is apparent that he continues to stretch himself to go deeper, even now
Most modern goddess work flattens its subjects into archetypes. The Mother. The Sorceress. The Queen of Heaven. The patterns are real, but the goddesses themselves are far more specific than the archetypes suggest. Each one comes from a particular tradition, with particular texts, particular rituals, and particular demands on the practitioner who approaches her. This path is built around five goddesses who share something rare in the divine record. Their work is to bestow. They give protection, abundance, sovereignty, and presence. They do not require descent or test or sacrifice as the central feature of relationship with them. Some of them have wrathful or sovereign aspects in other contexts. Inanna descends to the underworld in her cycle. Circe transforms men in The Odyssey. Mary stands at the foot of the cross. The path holds them in their bestowing aspect, where their work is to give.
This path is built from the actual sources of each tradition. The Catholic and Orthodox Marian literature, from the early Church Fathers through the Marian apparitions and the modern devotional tradition for Mary. The Sumerian hymns, the Akkadian recensions, and the Inanna cycle for Inanna. The Devi Mahatmya, the Lakshmi Tantra, the Shri Sukta, and the Saubhagyalakshmi Upanishad for Lakshmi. The Odyssey, the Theogony, and the broader classical sources for Circe. The Roman literary and inscriptional record for Abundantia.
The path covers five goddesses across five traditions. Mary is the central female figure of Christianity, theotokos in the Greek, mother of God in the Latin, and one of the most actively venerated figures in human religious history. Lakshmi is the goddess of fortune and prosperity in Hindu tradition, the consort of Vishnu, the goddess invoked at every Diwali and at the threshold of every new venture. Inanna is the Sumerian Queen of Heaven, the oldest documented goddess in human literature, the goddess whose cycle of love, war, descent, and return shaped every later goddess narrative. Circe in The Odyssey is the sorceress on her own island, sovereign and unpredictable, who turns men into pigs but receives Odysseus as guest and consort. Abundantia is the Roman goddess of plenty whose cornucopia became the iconographic standard for abundance across Western art.
Each course traces back to the actual sources of its tradition. Take them in any order. The bundle gives you all of them.
Mary is the most actively venerated female figure in human religious history. She is theotokos in the Greek tradition, mother of God in the Latin, and the central female presence of Christian devotional life across Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican traditions. This course works through her appearances in the Gospels, her development across the early Church Fathers, the Marian apparitions, and the rich devotional and contemplative literature that grew up around her over two thousand years. Eighty-three videos covering the historical, theological, and contemplative dimensions of working with Mary, taught with respect for her devotional tradition.
Lakshmi is the oldest wealth deity in continuous worship on earth. Consort of Vishnu, goddess of Diwali, invoked at the threshold of every new venture in the Hindu world. This course goes directly to the Vedic and Tantric sources, including the Shri Sukta, the Saubhagyalakshmi Upanishad, and the Lakshmi Tantra. It works through her symbolism, her iconography, and the practical applications of working with her. Forty-seven videos and ten authentic Sanskrit mantras drawn from the traditional sources rather than modern adaptations.
Circe is the sorceress of The Odyssey, the goddess of the island Aiaia, sovereign and unpredictable, who turns men into pigs but receives Odysseus as guest and consort. Hesiod identifies her in the Theogony as the daughter of Helios, the sun god, and Perse, an Oceanid. This course works through her appearances in the Odyssey, the Theogony, and the broader classical sources, traces her relationship to Hekate and the other Greek magical figures, and provides the framework for engaging her sovereignty and her magical authority. Thirty-eight videos.
Inanna is the Sumerian Queen of Heaven, the oldest documented goddess in human literature, the figure whose cycle of love, war, descent, and return shaped every later goddess narrative across the ancient Near East and beyond. This course is the focused introduction to working with her. Five videos and meditations on her sovereignty, her presence, and the appropriate approach to one of the foundational divine figures of human civilization.
Abundantia is the Roman goddess of abundance whose cornucopia became the iconographic standard for plenty across Western art. She is named in the Roman literary and inscriptional record as a personification of overflowing prosperity, distinct from the broader Fortuna tradition by her specific function as the giver rather than the dispenser. This course works through her Roman context and provides the focused meditative framework for invoking her in practical abundance work. Fifteen videos.
The five courses sold individually total $495. The bundle price is below.
