Alchemical Hermeticism: The Secret Teachings of Marco Daffi on Initiation

English

By (author): David Pantano

An in-depth investigation into the Alchemical-Hermetic practices of Marco Daffi

Presents Daffis writings on unique and unusual experiences from five decades of alchemical and hermetic practice, available for the first time in English

Offers a view of Daffis Inner Laboratory and his pioneering investigations into consciousness, past-life regression, Hermetic healing, and divination

Offers a psychological portrait of Daffi through writings by initiates, artists, and scholars who knew or had firsthand knowledge of the Baron

Following the path set by renowned alchemist Giuliano Kremmerz, Marco Daffi was one of the most interesting and controversial protagonists of magical Hermeticism in the 20th century, a master initiate who illuminated the more esoteric aspects of Hermetic practice in terms of initiation, gnosis, eros, divination, and consciousness.

In this comprehensive look at the man born Baron Ricciardo Ricciardelli yet better known by his spiritual name Marco Daffi, historian and researcher David Pantano presents Daffis writings on some of the most unique and unusual topics within alchemical Hermeticism, available for the first time in English. Through his visionary writings, Daffi elucidates firsthand accounts of initiatory experience and the inner visions of Hermetic practices, supported by relevant experiential praxis. Readers are able to enter Daffis Inner Laboratory and experience his pioneering investigations into the numinal or interdimensional aspects of consciousness. Daffi details the descensus ad inferno he took into the dark cavernous recesses of past-life regression for purposes of Hermetic healing. His writings also reveal his practical applications of oracular-modes of consciousness, especially by exercising his considerable mediumistic capabilities.

Exploring the more human side of Daffi as well, Pantano shares biographical information on Ricciardelli and writings from initiates, artists, and scholars who knew or had firsthand knowledge of the Baron. These never-before-translated writings provide context and additional depth for the insights that permeate Daffis alchemical and magical work and philosophy. Pantano also includes Daffis own account of the infamous Trial of the Magus, which pitted him against the grandson of Giuliano Kremmerz at the height of Italys fascist era.

Providing an inside view of the magus at work, a glimpse into the far-reaching spiritual horizon of a man who explored the depths of the astral realm and the most occult aspects of alchemy and Hermeticism, this book allows the reader to see with an initiates eyes the kaleidoscopic prism of Daffis expansive vision of reality.
