The Shakespeare Gemini
2025-09-21 17:00 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins, in which the Shakespeare Gemini – the consortium of ‘twin’ poets and actors – plus their patrons, helpers and muses, will be more fully identified, with key signs and historical backgrounds.
The Shakespeare work was a great work and, like all great works, required many players, men and women, playing many parts. The main roles were those of the Gemini ‘twins’, men and women, with many sets of ‘twins’ involved.
The Shakespeare project constitutes what is still an on-going grand experiment, inaugurated so as to test out the working and practical effects of what is probably the most fundamental law of the universe, a law that has been described as the Double Truth, which the Gemini myth describes metaphorically.
For those who attend the talk, there will be time for questions, answers and insights after the talk. This post-talk sharing is usually full of extra information.

The Immortalising Power of the Shakespeare Folio Preface
2025-12-21 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins, about how the 11-page Preface of the 1623 Shakespeare Folio enshrines a deep Kabbalistic and Biblical wisdom, with cryptic wording and graphics, all with the potency and intention to immortalise the Shakespeare plays and William Shakespeare himself, as an example of the immortalising process described in the classical Gemini myth.
After 400 years, this immortalising effect can be readily seen, with the Shakespeare plays enacted all over the world, with William Shakespeare himself being renowned worldwide as the immortal author, with innumerable books, essays and scholarly treatises written about the plays and the man, and Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, attracting thousands of visitors every year from all over the world.
“Immortalising” in this context refers to the man and his works being so famous that he will never be forgotten, always revered, with his works being everlasting, enduring for ages to come. But “immortalising” can also refer to illumination, to our natural souls or psyches becoming illumined through labours of love and knowing the wisdom or truth as a result.
The illumined soul is known as the celestial soul. The celestial soul is the mortal natural soul (psyche) who has become an immortalised celestial soul – the immortal-mortal. We can each achieve this little by little, like a burning candle transmuting its flame into light. Like the burning candle, we can exist as both the candle and the light at the same time.

Freemasonic Twinship and the Two Alban Saints
2026-01-25 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the universal law of twinship, or friendship, and how it manifested in the foundational legends of Freemasonry concerning the two saints called Alban and the two types of Freemasonry, Craft and Speculative.
We shall also look at the meaning of the place or places associated with the St Alban legends, the shrines or monuments erected in their memory and how they connect with each other, and the Freemasonic and Rosicrucian wisdom knowledge underlying all this.

The New Atlantis Bensalem and Rosicrucian College of the Six Days Work
2026-03-22 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the New Atlantis of Francis Bacon’s utopian novel, and what it really means and the places it cryptically points to in the world.
We shall also look at what all this means today, and how New Atlantis is not only an account of what took place 400+ years ago but also a prophecy for the times we live in now.
New Atlantis has a mystical relationship with the Old Atlantis, as referred to by Plato, and as described in myths and legends. The two stories contain the idea of death and resurrection, and the means by which this can happen.

The Mystery of the Two Johns, Baptist and Beloved
2026-06-21 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the mystery of John the Baptist and John the Beloved, the different roles they played whilst sharing the same name, and the eternal wisdom and divine law of which they are manifestations – a law that involves all of us.
This mystery involves the Double Truth of polarity, twinship, and initiation, with its lesser and greater mysteries, and how their roles were adopted by the Bacon brothers, Francis and Anthony.
The mystery also involves Time, with its daily, annual, and larger cycles of time, such as a Great Age, and the poles of time and process of life – a process in which we are all engaged, all of the time.

The Hidden Foundation of Democracy in North America
2026-09-20 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the role of Sir Francis Bacon and the Virginia and Newfoundland Companies in the colonisation of Newfoundland, Virginia, Nova Scotia and Oak Island, and in the foundation of democracy in North America.
Such a role involved the Freemasons and Rosicrucians – especially the latter, who practised the Hermetic-Magian science of “As above so below, as below so above, for the doing of the Great Work.”
Powerful signs in the starry heavens of the sky, which took place from 1572 to 1604, confirmed to the magi of the English Society of the Golden and Rosy Cross what should be done on earth, both in England and in the world, so as to suitably echo the heavenly signs.
The Shakespeare poetic works, Bacon’s philosophical works, and Bacon’s New Atlantis, are involved in all of this.

The Mystery of the Christmas Saturnalia and Knights of the Helmet
2026-12-20 17:00 - 18:30
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about midwinter’s Saturnalia and Twelve Days of Christmas, including that of 1594/5 when Gray’s Inn hosted a grand entertainment during which the Shakespeare play, Comedy of Errors, was enacted, followed by the masque, The Order of the Knights of the Helmet.
This “Gesta Grayorum”, as it was called in Latin, announced and made public many things previously kept secret, including the hint that the Knights of the Helmet are the true Spearshakers, or Shakespeares, who, like St George, shake their spears of inspiration at the dragons of ignorance, so that the dragons might come to know the truth.
