The Magic of Books  Monthly lecture series with William Kiesel Presented by PRS and Ouroboros Press In the PRS LIBRARY! Lecture Three: Keys to the Mysteries: How to use the Library for Esoteric Research Q&A to follow the lecture Lecture Series Overview “Without books, there is no memory, and without memory, a culture cannot exist.” - Fernando Báez Join William Kiesel for a series of engaging talks on books and book culture surrounding the wisdom traditions housed in the PRS Library. Books are vessels of coagulated thought, distilled and filtered through the minds of authors, artists and adepts. Understanding the technology of the book and the laboratory of the library grants the seeker access to the esoteric secrets that can aid them on their journey of discovery. Presented in the peaceful environs of the PRS Library, William uses some of the bibilographic treasures of the library to illustrate multi-disciplined topics aimed at bringing deeper awareness into these important literary tools which have preserved the ageless wisdom for centuries. June 5 - Keys to the Mysteries: How to use the Library for Esoteric Research Any esoteric study can appear to be an overwhelming prospect given the many disciplines and paths offered by those who came before us. Libraries offer many avenues of assistance in orienting the seeker on their journey. In this library talk, William engages us with practical tips for research for those looking for insight into where to begin or those already embracing a particular esoteric practice. Libraries and the resources they house are an invaluable aid to us and this talk will offer insights into bringing those resources to our finger tips. How to understand what to look for and find what you are looking for can transform the experience of your visit to the library and augment any esoteric interest or experience you are seeking.
