Is Thelema Left-Hand Path? Academic vs Practitioner Perspectives.
Join us in exploring the left-hand path through academic and practitioner lenses in this detailed discussion with special guest Marco Visconti. In this episode, we delve into the intriguing world of emic and etic perspectives, comparing and contrasting the insider (emic) views held by practitioners with the outsider (etic) analyses conducted by scholars.
This dialogue bridges the gap between academic study and personal practice, highlighting the complexities and nuances that each perspective brings to understanding esoteric traditions. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner, a student of religious studies, or simply curious about alternative spiritual paths, this video promises to enrich your understanding of the Left-Hand Path and inspire deeper thought about the interplay between belief and scholarly interpretation.
ABOUT OUR GUEST
Marco Visconti is a lifelong practitioner of the Western Esoteric Tradition, with a particular interest in Thelema and Crowleyana.
Between 2014 and 2018, he worked at Treadwell’s Books, a hub of international expertise on Western esotericism in London. Prior to that, he was a music professional with an international career spanning over 15 years with bands such as XP8 and Faderhead.
He translated numerous key esoteric texts from English to Italian, such as Michael Bertiaux’s Lucky Hoodoo. In recent years, he organised the online community Magick Without Tears, teaching magick online to over 300 students—and counting.
His first book, The Aleister Crowley Manual: Thelemic Magick in Modern Times, has been a commercial and critical success and has been translated into Italian and Polish. He’s currently working on his second book, in which he will explore the next steps in the Thelemic Current and unveil the mysteries of the Holy Guardian Angel and the Thoth Tarot.
