The Living and the Dead: Truth Embodied in Liber XV

 

The raising of a corpse, a litany of dead saints, the fulfillment of the covenant of resurrection, and the eventual return of all into the silence of the tomb: the living and the dead play an integral role in the liturgy and drama of Liber XV.

In this lecture, Entelecheia will lead us on an exploration of truth as the difference between what is alive versus what is dead. We will consider the ways a ritual, a tradition, and an individual can serve as living symbols of truth. We will consider the radical possibility that what we call life is in fact a form of death, and that perhaps the dead are more alive than we realize.

This lecture will be given live at our temple in Seattle and will also be livestreamed via an unlisted link on our YouTube channel. Attendance in person or online is $10 and is free for our members and Patreon “Patron” tier subscribers. The lecture will be made public on our YouTube Oct 28. All fees collected support Horizon.
