You got it!
Maenads? Like Maynard? TOOL? I perform these functions in worshipping the ruling divinity in my arts.
Ive lately been drawn to the story of Orpheus,thank you for helping me on the path to try discover why.
Still learning
I don’t like to comment often but I wanted to thank you for all your content! I’m still making my way through your encyclopedia hermetica, it’s pointed me in many directions which have become very profitable!
Ah, and what did I find here in your Archive. Thank you kindly Sir😎
Enjoy!
Thank you! 💖
Thanks for listening.
Hail! the great chain of being.
Standing ovation
Love & Light
*Orpheus was a visitor from Elphame*
Any further insight regarding this comment?
😢😔🙏💚
If I knew it wouldn't be a mystery would it?
I was at your Perfect Nature ritual, so I know the mystery has been revealed.
I just finished the new Hermes documentary by Fortress of Lugh, this was the first suggestion to follow. Most gracious
This video compelled me to pick up Proclus, & he has been deeply illuminatory -- thank you kindly for that impetus.
@@The Modern Hermeticist -
The translation of the word "mad" in the original texts? Fury, enthusiasm, inspiration and genius - these words denote TYPES of possession, a god being channelled by the initiate. I feel a lot depends on understanding the true meaning of "mad" in these texts.
When the Bacchanalian nymphs are described as "mad" do you know anything about the etymology of the word - are they possessed like the furies?
It's said that the Erinyes were used as vengeance on criminals who they threw into the chaos pit of Tartarus. Perhaps it wasn't just meaningless violence.
I really liked this video- thanks!
The theology of orpheus is the story of Zero to Hero. AKA the story of our path to the light of our creation... venus, light bearer. 333
When he was zero?
@@arturhashmi6281 From No thing Every thing is.
My feeling too.
@@333STONEI'm always curious what different aspirants from different traditions ascribe to the words and numbers they use. What is 333 to you? How about lightbearer?
@@thishandleistacken 333 means God thrice great
Incredible choice of literature quoted, framed by profoundly meaningful and appropriate art displays….
Bravo 👏…. Praise offered with gratitude and sincere appreciation for your time on the subject…
🙏
I was beginning to study orphism this days and suddenly modern hermeticism made a video about it, coincidence? I think no.
Thank Ficino!
🤦
"his head was giving oracles in lesbos"
You dont gotta speak in code with me homie ;)
Excellent content. Taylor’s dissertation was very enlightening.
Thank you for making these. Could you do a reading of On Nature by Parmenides?
The comment on his not celebrating Bacchus at around 5:00 seems to be an allusion to The Bacchae and the fate of Thebes at the hands of the Maenad. Perhaps itself an allusion to something from the mysteries.
i love hermetica, chaldean oracles, iamblichus's on the mysteries, - could you recommend any more works/titles that you feel are of those caliber?
Anthologies of literature are good for finding new works.
This is too much exaggaration of the man. I believe by the time neoplatonists arrived, made the subject much imagnative but boring as well than what was in the times of plato. These later people flooded literature with their exgraggrative imaganative writings.
POSIEDON does he love me or hate me kill or hug me everyone has the trinity thing going on so you know there's not just one to worry about there's another 2 trinity's the good the bad and the ugly . I expect my dad to be God but I know God made the birds and bees
I have reached terms in age and in personal works where I no longer sit on my chart or transits... live and die by upcoming traits or fixed stars on my natal malefics. As with tarot. Numerology, auto writings etc and my nature... fixed and now clinging onto my wheel, freaking out, freaking everyone else out n basically self fulfilling ridiculous prophecies that thankfully, I know when I fuck a thing up n will just back down to preserve myself n ultimately (but much later).receive the understandings n maturity to really be able to enjoy.. and benefit from any art.
Hard won. The older, deeper arts esp astrology can take me five lifetimes to quit throwing myself lowest energy first at n finally take up my seat dressed appropriately, n greet all those across and beside n truly join the charade. I can truly take a tangent as my destiny and ride it into perilous territory, I learn.
I'm not nearly tracking the days and measures so much as expanding in other life choices n getting epiphanies but finding I'm not cautious... but I'm not feeling as tho I need to practise,but let things really, sink in, digest and comix inside me, in time... it's really rewarding. In all good ways.
Anyway. I haven't ever really cast elections. Ha... just transits, upcoming revolutions that stick out. Yeah, I'm gonna get hectic n see a tangent n drag it down a rabbit hole. But I am of a very imaginative, creative, resilient nature, I just love to become my passions n there are no better ways to master and know a thing for me. Than to commit.
I am going to start casting elections. I am downloading this to really let the doctrine precipitate n come into my awareness.. thank-you for the time, thought, even the cadence in your narration... all your content is hermetics n. chill to me These are the epics, the gods, the beginnings .. As time has elevated my ears to hear. I'm ready to really listen your awesome helping me not have my soul just depart from me in shame.. dragged off to the hospital or nut house.
So good in longer progressions coming back around to learn again n seeing the big picture as never before n laughing out loud at myself.
Love it. Thank-you.
Thank you for sharing this work with us! Much appreciated 🙏
Thank you for this content! very enriching
Thank you for your work!
beautiful language, spoken beautifully
What do you mean by all antiquity? The Persians? Hebrews?
last time I was this early hermes just was a greek god.
Are you/ do you know Ariel gatoga? Your voice❤❤❤❤ … y’all should collaborate
Thank you 🙌

yeees yes... The Lesbians. 🧐
What if one is a butch? eewww
I can see parallels between the orphic hymn to Zeus and the Etz Chaim. Also the malevolent daimons remind me of the asuras. 👍
Also, if the severed head of Orpheus in Lesbos is a metaphor for orphic knowledge and theology preserved in that island, him being torn apart could mean the spread of orphism throughout the world (although the limbs are not the 'head'), and also why he died in more ways than one.
@@gnomikon7836 That makes me wonder how women played into this. Is it just a metaphor or did actual women proselytize the incomplete Orphic theology throughout Greece?
@@naurahdeatrisyagitany8365 probably a metaphor, just like the maenads. Unless it refers to a very ancient past, when shamanesses played a bigger role in society, but doubtfull. That is too far old to be linked with Orpheus.
Drawing down the Stars is the outlet you want
Akurios means LORD
Pan is Slavic for LORD
Also known as E Io, Joseph
Israel is the Canaan word for Saturn or El, Fruit of Isis and Ra
Esus aka Isis is the Celtic God of Death, he was baptised by John the Baptist from which we get Baphomet. John the Baptist was a Setian. The Ante Christ, Crucified upside down, and called Simon Peter Magus, whom Jesus rebukes when he slices a Roman soldier's ear, when arrested in the Garden, after being caught sodomising his own Nephew. Just like Seth sodomised his Nephew Horus the Younger. It is the Younger who catches his brothers ankle exiting the womb of Sophia, Asherah. Philo's Sophia, Son of Sophia, Theosophia, Son of Sophia, Gaia, Ishtar, Thera, Kythera, Astarte, Goddess of Life and Death just like Apollo is God of Plagues and Cures.
Michael also rebukes Satan when they fight over the Body of Moses, aka Arkenaten, or Echnaton, who also rose the Brazen Serpent. And who is the first and last character in the Book, that reverses at the end, if not the Archangel of Death, Setanus?
Setanus is Typhon, Zephon, Sepher, the Golden Ass, E Io, Yahu, Eyore, Yahuah, Hilaria, Saturnus, Bacchus, Eshmun, Apollo, Sabazios, Adonai, Perseus, Heracles, Pan, Shiva, Hermes, Thoth, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl, the Rainbow Serpent, of the Rainbow Covenant
It is a Curse for the Brazen Serpent to hang upon the Wooden Idol of "Knowing"
And who comes into your home as a thief on the Sabbath at Saturnalia?
Krampus, Kronos, Dagda, Zeus, Father Xmas, Father Time, El, Para,

Shalim (Šalām, Shalem, Ugaritic: 𐎌𐎍𐎎, romanized: ŠLM) is a pagan god in Canaanite religion, mentioned in inscriptions found in Ugarit (now Ras Shamra, Syria). William F. Albright identified Shalim as the god of the dusk and Shahar as the god of the dawn.
The Purple Throne of Tyre is the Throne of Jerusalem. Christianity got literally everything wrong! The Arc of the Covenant is the Arch of Baal, the basis of our 365 day Calendar, in fact before being taken over by the Chaldeans, Dorians, and Scythians, Scotia was called Albion, and Caledonia
Like Macedonia
The Staff of Adon, or Aten
Saidon is root with Esadon, or Ikthobaal, Ikthadon, Isaidon, Dionysians, who worshipped the Moon as the Sun of God.

Hey MH, I would like to know why the author did not include any references to the cult of Zagreus in this essay, given that this myth is generally accepted to be one of the most central mythos to Orphism?
I must say this is an outstanding reading! Thank you.
Edit: noticed author discounts the theory that orpheus did not revere bacchus
So beautiful ! Thank you !
Thanks for watching

Thank you

Ancient text translations, can not rhyme in English?
They can if you're clever enough, but something's always gotta give in terms of literalism. It was popular in the 19th century but not so popular with modern translations.
@@TheModernHermeticist try it once and see if you can get the meaning of a single sentence across.
There are numerous translations of Homer and Virgil that do just this, and are not unintelligible to readers. It's entirely possible.
what i am saying is, they were probably no t written in another language at that time. you cant do it even once, let alone the times in those you mention. rhyme after rhyme lol.@@TheModernHermeticist
the ending - Preach !
You are erudite, and well spoken to a fault; and may find yourself poorly understood by people.
This is a text from the 19th c.
@@TheModernHermeticist I was under the impression that large parts of it were your commentary, my mistake.
