Why Get the Bundle
The bundle containing "Journey to the Spirit World: Exploring Neo-Shamanism" and "Ceremonial Magick and the Franz Bardon Tradition" offers mastery from two complementary perspectives. While Neo-Shamanism focuses on direct interaction with the spirit world, utilizing nature, visionary journeys, and ceremonies for healing and self-discovery, Ceremonial Magick provides structured rituals and methodologies rooted in Western esoteric traditions, aiming at inner mastery, divine communion, and the assumption of Godforms.
By bundling the two, practitioners can merge intuitive visionary practices with disciplined ritual work, creating a versatile spiritual toolkit. For learners at any stage, the combination of these courses ensures progressive skill-building, while the bundle provides financial value by offering all levels of both courses at a discounted price compared to purchasing them individually.
Combining the visionary and nature-based practices of Neo-Shamanism with the structured rituals and hermetic insights of Ceremonial Magick is ideal for those looking to embrace a multidimensional journey.
About the Course
For decades now, I have been practicing neoshamanism in parallel with my endeavors in hermetics and magic, having formed my shamanic groups and circles. Occasionally, it appears in my teachings or when I share a story with one of my Perseus Arcane Academy students. To such an extent, that I have been directly asked in more than one instance, to create a video course specifically on neoshamanism and make it available on this same platform.
As the suggestion sat upon the back of my head, this point in time led exactly to its realization, an immersive video course that delves into the ancient roots of shamanic practices while aligning with the dynamics of today.
This course will demystify the rituals, tools, and techniques of Neo-Shamanic practices, thickening the connection with the spirit world.
Whether you are being introduced to shamanism or you are an experienced practitioner willing to expand your know-how, this path of self-discovery, healing, and enlightenment will transcend time and space and serve one and the other.
From sacred ceremonies, meditations and visionary journeys to the use of instruments and plants, this course is not just about acquiring knowledge; but a trail of embodiment, transforming reality, blurring the seen and the unseen, and leaving the student a living testament to the power of what he or she has gone through.
Questions & Answers for Neo-Shamanism
-
Neo-Shamanism is traditional shamanism adapted to the needs of the present day. In my path I have seen how rarely our people are truly prepared for traditional shamanism, much less without first becoming neoshamans. In most cases, the average human being living in the city becomes ill physically or mentally or gives up any spiritual practice entirely after attempting traditional shamanism.
-
Unlike traditional shamanism, which is attached to specific cultural contexts, Neo-Shamanism is eclectic in nature. It incorporates elements from various indigenous traditions and tempers them with psychology.
-
Power, self-knowledge, healing, direct contact with hidden dimensions.
-
Yes; trance-inducing music, chanting, dance, meditation, visions quests and the use of symbolic tools and ritual objects.
-
Nature is the source of inspiration and wisdom, the source of the great spirit.
-
Yes, there is no cultural requirement, and practitioners can freely integrate Neo-Shamanism into their lives.
-
No. Its practice can be integrated into various beliefs.

The entire curriculum currently totals five separate levels. Each level is sold separately. If you have further questions please check the main FAQ and/or send us a message via the contact form with any questions.
Introduction
In this course of three levels, we will be taking the two most famous rituals of the Golden Dawn the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram and the Middle Pillar Exercise and decode them into a full course of adepthood, inner mastery, invocation, evocation, theurgic incantation and divine communion.
Each gesture and intention will portray a reflection of a deep magical and mystical work undergone by the student who will be applying mostly methodologies from Franz Bardon's three works Initiation Into Hermetics, The Practice of Magical Evocation, and The Key to True Quabbalah, an author we chose for his universality that can be applied to most traditions and to the generality of rituals.
This course is essentially a mentorship with Andre Consciencia taking anyone regardless of their level of experience through a course of inner mastery towards adepthood.
Duration: 1 Year.
About this Course
Level 1 - The Grand Ritual of Purification
In 1996 in the book Middle Pillar by Israel Regardie (ceremonial magician and writer), Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha Cicero from the Metatron House wrote: “In the early decades of this century, little was known about the techniques of western ceremonial magic due to the veil of secrecy which had shrouded these practices. Unless a person happened to be a member of a magical organization, there was little chance of leaning the procedures and initiatory practices of high magic. This changed in 1937 when Israel Regardie published four volumes titled The Golden Dawn, a collection of ceremonies and teachings from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.”
While the Middle Pillar and the four books mentioned are certainly of great value, I cannot consider the statement to be true. The presentation of the rituals that are given us there are far from revealing their entire mode of operation, even in a book like the Middle Pillar where Regardie expands the depth and extension of the Exercise better than ever before.
The end result is a ritual that is still as good as making the sign of the cross, that is, it does not belong to hermetic science but to folklore, in this case to hermetic folklore. For this reason, I will present what I consider to be one of the most complete forms, one that I call “The Grand Ritual of Purification” and that will deliver for the first time the ritual's proposition: that the ritualist assumes the Divine in all consciousness and ascends through the existential realms uniting all components of unity itself.
This ritual is the philosophical stone of magical equilibrium (the strong force of all forces) put in a practical formula.
Level 2 - The Grand Ritual of Evocation
What we call The Grand Ritual of Evocation is based on the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. This Golden Dawn ritual, abbreviated as LBRP, is said to be one of the most important tools of the magician.
It has been said that doing the LBRP is like casting the circle, or that it is a ritual of protection. While this is true, it is far from describing the full nature of the ritual.
This ritual is a ritual of attaining Godhood or the Godhead through evocation, it evokes God in its quadripolar face, so that by seeing it we die to be reborn as His/Her Presence.
It is a ritual of protection only in the sense that nothing remains to attack us once we are no more and only God is. It is the casting of the circle in the sense that at the center of the circle there lies the eternal and everlasting light that casts it.
Level 3 - The Grand Ritual of Invocation
The Grand Ritual of Invocation combines all that we have learned so far and culminates in the assimilation and assumption of the completion of Godforms. It is the most complete version of the Godhead that I have attained while remaining conscious of its components and details. The practitioner who does it regularly will be an Adept of the highest caliber.

Andre Consciencia
André lives in Moita, Portugal and has been a dedicated practitioner of magic and mysticism for more than two decades.
He met Fraternitas Hermetica (an order based on the works of Franz Bardon) while still a minor and had an initiator that stood even after the order vanished. He also has worked with his old initiator for 20 years. He has experience of other magical systems such as AMORC, Order of Michael’s Grail (with roots on Dion Fortune), Thelemic Golden Dawn, Astrum Argentum, the Typhonian OTO and the OTOA-LCN.
André teaches neo-shamanism and has his own active group of practitioners. Aside from his shamanic path, which he puts to use as a simple way to reach the uninitiated, he has been through the hermetic magical systems of Franz Bardon, as well as through systems presented by Rosicrucian orders and Thelemic organizations, still being a member of the Chaorder of SilverDusk and a member of the Inner Council of the Horus Maat Lodge, in which he holds the Portuguse Nexus.
