The Magic of Books  Monthly lecture series with William Kiesel Presented by PRS and Ouroboros Press In the PRS LIBRARY! Lecture Four: Secret Books of the Rosicrucians Q&A to follow the lecture Lecture Series Overview “Without books, there is no memory, and without memory, a culture cannot exist.” - Fernando Báez Join William Kiesel for a series of engaging talks on books and book culture surrounding the wisdom traditions housed in the PRS Library. Books are vessels of coagulated thought, distilled and filtered through the minds of authors, artists and adepts. Understanding the technology of the book and the laboratory of the library grants the seeker access to the esoteric secrets that can aid them on their journey of discovery. Presented in the peaceful environs of the PRS Library, William uses some of the bibilographic treasures of the library to illustrate multi-disciplined topics aimed at bringing deeper awareness into these important literary tools which have preserved the ageless wisdom for centuries. July 10 - Secret Books of the Rosicrucians In the seventeenth century secret Rosicrucian manuscripts were passed around Europe offering explosive new viewpoints in religion and esotericism, including astrology, alchemy, cabala and divine theurgy. These ideas formed a flashpoint of controversy and sparked a growing movement that has influenced many esoteric practitioners down to modern times. This library talk will exhibit some of the Rosicrucian holdings of the PRS library and feature a particular Rosicrucian text and its influences, the Codex Rosae Crucis, published by Manly P. Hall in 1938. About William Kiesel William Kiesel has walked the path of esotericism for over 30 years. His practical experience and historical knowledge of occult literature and culture draws from such diverse disciplines as Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, Qabalah, Thelema, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Theosophy, and Ceremonial Magic. With his decades as an antiquarian bookseller, his training in letterpress printing and bookbinding, Kiesel brings his love of books and scholarship together as publisher at Ouroboros Press. He is also faculty at 22 Teachings School of Hermetic Science and Magical Arts. www.bookarts.org Ticket Price: $22 (In Person Only) Please email events@prs.org or phone 323-663-2167 with any questions.
