Description
Renaissance magicians believed in pansophia, that one person could contain all the knowledge of the cosmos. They developed an Art of Memory designed to contain all of this information, based on their understanding of learning, imagination, and the occult properties of the soul. Why did the Art of Memory disappear, and how can rediscovering it help the modern magician pursue their occult studies?
In this class, we will explore the history of the Art of Memory, including its philosophical underpinnings in ancient Greek thought, Hermetic philosophy, and Renaissance magic. We will look at the techniques of Plato, Cicero, Giulio Camillo, Giordano Bruno, and others to discover how the Art of Memory can be incorporated into a modern practice to pursue the goal of universal wisdom.
This class includes a PDF with sample memory practices.
