  • Israel Regardie and the Psychologization of Esoteric Discourse
    Correspondences 3 (2015) 5–54 ISSN: 2053-7158 (Online) correspondencesjournal.com Israel Regardie and the Psychologization of Esoteric Discourse Christopher A. Plaisance E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This is an article in the history of Western esoteric currents that re-examines and clarifies the relationship between esoteric and psychological discourses within the works of Israel Regardie. One of the most common ways in which these two discourses have been found to be related to one another by scholars of the esoteric is through the process of “psychologization”— with Regardie often being put forth as a paragon of the process. This paper argues that a unitary conception of psychologization fails to adequately describe the specific discursive strategies utilized by Regardie. In order to accurately analyze his ideas, a manifold typology of complementary, terminological, reductive, and idealist modes of psychologization is proposed instead. Through this system of classification, Regardie’s ideas regarding the relationship between psychological and esoteric discourses are understood as a network of independent but non-exclusive processes, rather than as a single trend. It is found that all four modes of psychologization are present, both in relative isolation and in combination with one another, throughout his works. These results demonstrate that while it is accurate to speak of Regardie as having psychologized esoteric discourse, this can only be the case given an understanding of “psychologization” that is differentially nuanced in a way that, at least, accounts for the distinct discursive strategies this paper identifies. Keywords psychologization; method and theory; psychology and esotericism; science and religion; Israel Regardie; Golden Dawn © 2015 Christopher A.

"Adytum" is an ancient Greek word that refers to the innermost part of the Temple, the Holy of Holies, "that which is not made with hands." Builders of the Adytum is an inter- national non-profit teaching and training Order and an outer vehicle of the Inner Spiritual Hierarchy, sometimes called the Inner School, which guides the evolution of Man. Through Builders of the Adytum's intensely practical curriculum, which includes both lessons and rituals, students are given the opportunity to become more attuned to their innermost Reality, and so become more con- scious instruments for the Life Power. They learn to turn to the Interior Teacher, whose wisdom transforms lives.

Case uses a modified Rider-Waite version of the Tarot called the Builders of the Adytum, which he designed himself to be more in line with his own comprehensions. Case was an early twentieth-century occultist and author who began his path in the theater and working as a stage magician. His interest in Tarot in particular came after the a fellow occultist asked him where he thought playing cards came from, and from that research he entered into a lifelong study of the Tarot, esotericism, and yogic practices. The Tarot is a useful primer of the basics of Western occultism as each chapter contains a detailed explanation of the Tarot card and its associated Hebrew letter, numerical value, astrology sign, planet, color, musical note, and Kabbalistic significance. The book also emphasizes the importance of the sequence of the Tarot cards in order, and the relationship of each card to the other in various combinations. For someone new to occult studies it is useful to learn about the language and vocabulary of Western occultism contained within these teachings. For students of the gnostic teachings of Samael Aun Weor this book may be of interest to help augment and complement the studies with the Egyptian Tarot deck and his work The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah.

First Published in 1931 by THE SCHOOL OF AGELESS WISDOM 279 Newbury Street, Boston, Mass. Rosicrucian Order of the Golden Dawn www.rogd.org FOREWARD This volume is an excellent resource for gaining a greater understanding of Alchemy and the Hermetic tradition. Tony DeLuce should be commended for producing such a wonderful edition of Case's original Alchemy course material. Paul Foster Case - a true Adept within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (Alpha et Omega) in America - worked for several years under the guidance of Moina Mathers. Upon leaving the Order, he founded his own magical organization called B.O.T.A. (Builders of the Adytum). Case wrote a number of courses for the students in the B.O.T.A. and the material in this book comprised an early version of one of these courses. Case is known for communicating complex esoteric information and ideas in a clear and precise manner. It is a pleasure to read Case's lesson plan for cutting through the enigma of Alchemy, getting right to the powerfbl heart of what Spiritual Alchemy is, and how it can be used to benefit the magical life.

As duas mais importantes eram Yansã, a Senhora das Tempestades, e Oxum, cujo domínio se estendia pelos rios, lagos e cachoeiras. Certo dia, enciumada da preferência de Xangô pela sua adversária, Yansã decidiu vingar-se de Oxum e, em um raio intempestivo de cólera, investiu contra a mãe das águas doces, quando esta se banhava nua às margens de um grande lago, tendo apenas um espelho entre as mãos.

    Life is a succession of open doors. We pass through some and others we pass by. The decisions we make before these open doors are the arbiters of our destiny thenceforth. This volume is an open door before which you now stand. Look within and consider well what you see there, for this portal leads from outer darkness to Inner Light. May that Light be extended upon you. 1 MYSTERY SCHOOLS "For you it is given to understand. For others, I speak in parables." In every age and in every country there are always those few individuals who seek more satisfying answers to the great questions of Life than they can find in their local churches and temples or through science. If their quest is sincere and they persist, they will eventually be drawn into contact with one of the world's Mystery Schools, where they may be instructed and trained. There have always been centers, called Mystery Schools, responding to the cry for understanding from aspirants throughout the ages. From within those walls, a secret knowledge called The Ageless Wisdom has been known and used for many cen- turies in enlightening the spiritual aspirants of each epoch. It is called Ageless because it is not susceptible to the mutations of time nor is the Ageless Wisdom primarily a product of man's thinking. It is written by God upon the face of nature, there for all to read, if they can. Hitherto, the great practical secrets have been guarded carefully from spiritual dilettantes and have only been given to duly initiated men and women under the strictest pledges of secrecy.
