For friends and readers who have repeatedly asked for more on Péladan: I have a series of online lectures coming up in advance of the release of my book. Please see below for details.
- Sunday 24th January, 5pm GMT: “Joséphin Péladan and his vision for a spiritual revolution through the arts.” FREE!
In this FREE introductory talk on Péladan’s life and work forSapere Aude Lectures I am assuming no background knowledge so this will be a Péladan 101. Connection information is here:https://www.facebook.com/events/416309703144018; viewers can follow either by connecting via Zoom, or watching live on Youtube here. There is no need to subscribe or register (though we appreciate it if you do subscribe!) Just go to the Youtube or Zoom link a few minutes before the lecture is due to start.This lecture will be recorded and made available on both theSapere Aude Lectures Youtube Channel, and my own. Attend live if you want to join in the Q+A. -
Week beginning Jan 25th – FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME : During this week, the incredible SHWEP podcast will release my in-depth interview with Earl Fontainelle in which I give far more detail and trivia on Péladan, his life and work. Initially this will be made available for free as part of the “Oddcasts” section, but it will eventually go behind the paywall. Please consider supporting SHWEP as an incredible form of crowdfunded scholarship! More at: https://shwep.net/

Tuesday 2nd February: “Saving the Lives of Angels” for Treadwell’s Books Registration required
This lecture & recitation delves into Péladan’s esoteric cosmology
in a reprise of one of my most popular lectures ever, originally delivered at Treadwell’s in 2016. In this one I do assume background knowledge of the basics of Péladan’s context, so folks who know nothing about the man and his background might want to attend or watch the earlier (Sunday 24th) lecture / or listen to the podcast first.
This lecture has a modest attendance fee to offset both my own work and the organiser’s overheads, and delayed viewing tickets are also available. I am informed that only a handful of tickets remain now, so book here: https://www.treadwells-london.com/events-1/saving-the-lives-of-angels-josephin-peladans-vision-for-redemption-through-the-arts?
NB! The recording of this lecture will NOT be made publicly available.

Stay tuned for updates as my Péladan book is due for publication in Summer 2021 – more on that soon!
