Here are the outline and powerpoint for Part 2 of Olchar Lindsann's lecture on Occultism, Politics, and the Romanticist Avant-Garde at the AfterMAF Festival in Roanoke, Virginia, 14 July 2018. (Part 1 is HERE.) The recording of Part 1 was lost; here is the video of Part II:
This is less concerned with explaining proto-socialist and hermetic
concepts themselves (a doomed attempt of hubris in two 2-hour lectures),
than with exploring precisely how the social fabric of the
Parisian intellectual underground became permeated with hermetic ideas
and practices – tracing the avant-occultist practitioners and groups who
planted and cultivated the first seeds of what would later blossom as
the Rose+Cross, the Golden Dawn, Dada and Surrealism, the Grand-Jeu,
Acéphale, Vienna Aktionism, Chaos Magic, the Church of the Sub-Genius,
ToPY, etc. etc. –
