SUMMARY:Milan & Prospero's Magic
DESCRIPTION:A hybrid event\, part talks on Zoom and part on-site pilgrimage in Milan. \n20-22 October 2024 Zoom talks\n24-28 October 2024 Milan pilgrimage\n3 November 2024 Zoom Meeting Conclusion \nIn the Shakespeare play\, The Tempest\, Prospero is the Duke of Milan. During the play we discover that Prospero is a magus – a magician in the initiatory sense\, who has acquired the wisdom to become a master of nature. The play shows how he demonstrates and develops his mastery by means of acting as a hierophant\, teaching\, testing and transforming the various characters as a redeemer and saviour of human souls. These characters represent the various levels of humanity\, from the basest and most corrupt\, to the most virtuous and pure in heart. \nWhy Prospero was made the Duke of Milan\, rather than of another place\, is part of the Mystery – a Mystery that we shall delve into during this hybrid event – a Mystery that concerns the whole of Europe in particular and the whole world in general\, and is of particular relevance at this momentous and dangerous time in world history. \nThis hybrid event is being carried out not only as a Mystery of Shakespeare event but also as a pilgrimage in Milan and local landscapes elsewhere. In this way\, via pilgrimage\, meditation and prayer\, and working with ancient wisdom and celestial-terrestrial energy\, magic can be done to help the world. During the talks and the pilgrimage\, we will learn why and how. \nFor this hybrid event\, there will be three types of attendees: (1) Talk attendees\, (2) Virtual pilgrims\, and (3) Milan pilgrims. \n\nThe Talk attendees are those who would like to attend the pre-pilgrimage talks on Zoom by Peter Dawkins and Julia Cleave.\nThe Virtual pilgrims are those who cannot be in Milan for this event\, but who can take part ‘virtually’ in all the Zoom talks and other Zoom meetings\, and who can carry out a pilgrimage in their own chosen area.\nThe Milan pilgrims are those who are able to be in Milan for this event. They will be there as a small group or groups of friends\, and entirely responsible for themselves\, but with a plan of action for each day. They will take part ‘virtually’ in all the Zoom talks and other Zoom meetings\, including the Zoom Pilgrimage Conclusion on 3 November 2024.\n\nThe event will be introduced by three pre-pilgrimage talks on Zoom – two by Peter Dawkins and one by Julia Cleave – which Talk attendees\, Virtual pilgrims and Milan pilgrims will be able to attend. \nThese three pre-pilgrimage talks on Zoom will take place on: \n\nSunday 20 October – Peter Dawkins – Milan and the Swan of Europe\nMonday 21 October – Julia Cleave – Alchemy in Shakespeare’s Play\, The Tempest\nTuesday 22 October – Peter Dawkins – Milan\, The Dukedom of Prospero\, the Magus\n\nInformation about each talk can be found on each talk advert web page. \nThe 3-day pilgrimage in Milan will take place on Friday 25 October\, Saturday 26 October\, and Sunday 27 October 2024\, with arrivals on Thursday 24 October and departures on Monday 28 October 2024. \nCOSTS & BOOKINGS \n\nFor Talk attendees\, the cost is £60 per person for all three talks\, or £25 for each individual talk\, payable to FBRT.\nFor Virtual pilgrims\, please contact the Organiser (FBRT) for further information.\n\nFor Milan pilgrims\, please contact the Organiser (FBRT) for further information.\n\nRecommended reading: The Wisdom of Shakespeare in The Tempest\, by Peter Dawkins.

SUMMARY:Swan Flight: The Third Heaven
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of the Quatercentenary of the 1624 great cipher manual\, Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae\, led by Peter and Sarah Dawkins in England\, and Heidemarie and Oliver Falldorf in Germany.  \nThis hybrid event will include a 3-day site visit in Germany to Wienhausen Abbey\, Celle\, Hitzacker and Luneburg led by Oliver and Heidemarie Falldorf (24-26 May)\, and a 1-day site visit in England to Kenilworth Castle led by Peter and Sarah Dawkins (25 May)\, with attendees choosing either one or the other. \nThe event will be introduced with a talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins on Thursday 23 May (6pm UK time)\, explaining the whys and wherefores of the event\, plus a second talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins on Saturday 25 May (7:30pm UK time)\, giving some background information about Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae and the secret society and intelligence networks involved. \nEnglish-German and German-English translations of talks will be available\, plus a follow-up Zoom meeting on 1 June 2024 to share experiences and discuss further things. \nCryptomenytices et Cryptographiae was compiled and written by Augustus ‘the Younger’\, Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg\, when he resided at Hitzacker\, before he became Prince of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel in 1635. He was closely linked with Francis Bacon in the Rosicrucian movement. Cryptomenytices et Cryptographiae was published in Luneburg under Augustus’ pseudonym of Gustavus Selenus. \nCelle\, Hitzacker and Luneburg are located in the upper throat area of  the landscape Swan of Europe\, whose root is in Sardinia and crown is in Norway. \n2024 is also the Quatercentenary of Ben Jonson’s The Masque of Owls\, which was performed at Kenilworth Castle on 19 August 1624 for Prince Charles\, the surviving son and heir of King James I of England. Jonson was at that time still assisting Francis Bacon\, whom he revered\, and was a key player in the Rosicrucian fraternity. Not only is the owl an emblem of Pallas Athena\, but it also signifies secret or cryptic writing. \nKenilworth forms the beak of one of the two landscape Swans of Avon\, whose root or tail is marked by the Rollright Stones\, and whose head is marked by old Warwick town\, complete with a castle (Warwick Castle) overlooking the river Avon\, and the Collegiate Church of St Mary on its highest point. \nThis event forms part of the ‘Swan Flight through the Seven Heavens of the Rosicrucian Mysteries’ series\, which is enacting out the Dionysian Mystery in the Swan landscape temples of Europe. \nFor further details\, choices\, costs and booking\, see: \n\nSwan-Flight: Third Heaven pdf (English).\nDer dritte Himmel pdf (German).
