Theurgy and Tradition: Esoteric Journeys with Ike Baker @arcanvm

Join me for a fascinating livestream conversation with Ike Baker, author and seasoned practitioner in the Western esoteric traditions. We'll explore the deep roots and modern resurgence of magical practice, from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn to the sacred rites of Graeco-Egyptian theurgy.

Ike is the author of A Formless Fire: Rediscovering the Magical Traditions of the West (Tria Prima, 2024) and the forthcoming Ætheric Magic: A Complete System of Elemental, Celestial & Alchemical Magic (Llewellyn, 2025). Through his ARCANVM YouTube channel and podcast, Ike has become a leading voice in making the complex history of esotericism both accessible and rigorously presented. His work spans alchemy, astrology, ceremonial magic, and the philosophical currents that shaped them.

In addition to his publishing and media work, Ike serves as a senior adept and temple chief within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, is a masonic historian, practising Martinist, and an initiate of several other esoteric orders. He is the organiser of the Southeastern Masonic Symposium in Asheville, North Carolina and co-director—with Dr Mervat Abdel Nasser—of the Hermopolis Symposium, a unique gathering of scholars and practitioners held at the New Hermopolis eco-village in Minya, Egypt.

We’ll also delve into Ike’s most recent project: Techniques of Graeco-Egyptian Theurgy, a 9-day immersive field study across Egypt’s ancient temple sites. With private access to sanctuaries rarely open to the public, this initiative fuses rigorous historical research with practical theurgical instruction—bringing ancient rites to life in their original sacred contexts.
