It is perhaps not well-known that Socrates’ teacher was a woman (named Diotima), and that Socrates was also helped by the instruction of a daemon (a good spirit guide).
In the Western Esoteric tradition this type of guidance is sometimes referred to as “The Holy Guardian Angel” and there is training for the aspirant to be in touch with this support.
The word “Angel” means messenger, and their purpose is to be of help. Angels are known as celestial or heavenly beings of light whereas human beings, in this regard, would be said to be made of matter and light. Angels are revered in Judaism, Islam and Christianity, and many other spiritual traditions. They have similarities to Devas, Dakanis, Dakas, and Jinns (Genies).
In this weeklong intensive we will touch upon the study of the Serifot (emanations) from the Hermetic Qabalah Tree of Life; Jacob’s Ladder (on which angels ascend and descend to the divine); Seventh Heaven; the Angels of the Tarot and the Chariot (Merkabah Mysticism). We will also cover Archangels Michael, Raphael, Israfel, Gabriel, Metatron, and Sandalphon (the extremely tall, and master of heavenly song).
This universalist meditation retreat on Angels is based on a series of symbolic, ancient western mystery teachings, helping people live better, more purposeful lives.
Held at the peaceful Wangapeka Centre, Mira Riddiford welcomes you to a week of immersion and practice in the tradition of Western Mysticism.
