Get your coconuts out as Ralph Ellis gallops in the Virtual Alexandria to make the connection between two historic savior figures.

Jeff Pollari materialized at the Virtual Alexandria to revitalize The Tarot, to say the least.

This reboot is based on his book, Arcane Arcade and his app, The Handm...

Like many esoteric movements, Freemasonry has been pummeled by the archon one-two punch of reductive materialism and deconstructive relativism. Can this organization reinvigorate its spirit of individual meaning and helping the world? The answer lies in returning to the Freemason ethos of symbolic living, magical thinking, and thorough reasoning – basically the Hermetic ideal of logically walking...

Always an honor to host Gordon White again at the Virtual Alexandria, this time to cover one of the greatest modern Gnostic Gospels: Legion. He’ll share the magical aspects of this comic book adaptation and how its themes are more relevant than ever.

t seems today everyone is a victim of something. Cancel or be canceled. Channeling both Elvis and Tina Turner, we’re caught in a trap of not needing another hero. Yet the truth is that each of us has a heroic side that can liberate our minds and change our destiny. All this transformation requires is a special attitude and contemplation. It also demands we access our ancestors and past selves to h...
