Noetic Perception, the Hallucination of the Soul & Altered States of Gnosis w. Wouter Hanegraaff

In the premiere episode of Season 6 of the podcast I sit down with Wouter J. Hanegraaff, professor of Hermetic Philosophy & related currents at the University of Amsterdam. Professor Hanegraaff is one of the leading voices in the academic study of hermetism, hermeticism, and esotericism at large. His written works include Esotericism and the Academy: Rejected Knowledge in Western Culture, Western Esotericism: A Guide for the Perplexed, Hermetic Spirituality and the Historical Imagination: Altered States of Knowledge in Late Antiquity, and the forthcoming Esotericism in Western Culture: Counter-Normativity and Rejected Knowledge.It was a pleasure to speak with the professor on Hermeticism, the concept of the soul in antiquity, esotericism in western culture, his native home of Amsterdam, the interplay between practitioner communities and the academy and much more.Professor Hanegraaff: https://www.wouterjhanegraaff.net/abouthttps://uva.academia.edu/WouterHanegraaffhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001JOKDBM?ccs_id=b0a98f09-1c45-4eac-b6b7-78b077337cb7ARCANVM Newsletter:https://ikebaker.com/newsletterFor all things Ike be sure to visit/message him at: https://ikebaker.comSUPPORT ARCANVM for $5/MONTH: https://patreon.com/arcanvmFOLLOW on Facebook: http://facebook.com/arcanvvm FOLLOW on Instagram: @a.r.c.a.n.v.m
