Noah, Great to have you on board ... are there any London-based members who know if there are any events going on late this month/early Jan? I second the recommendations you've been given but does anyone know if there are any moots or events going on. Have a lost touch of late.

Hello Dave and all, By way of introduction, I returned to academia a year ago, after a fourteen-year hiatus, when I learned that fields such as Western esoteric studies and ASM had come into being while I was away (mostly in New Orleans, the Caribbean and South America). I always said I'd return to school when people started studying what I was interested in, and lo and behold... I was very happy to hear about ASM as it fits my interests more closely than the Renaissance hermeneutics of WES. I'm currently trying to figure out a graduate-study trajectory once I finish up with undergrad here at Brown and suggestions would be much appreciated. Amongst other things, I'm currently studying Arabic and hope to study in Cairo once I'm done here, with an eye towards the mythology and reality of Arab/Egyptian/"Oriental" influences on Western magical theory and practices. Also, I'll be in London for the first time in late-December/early-January and would love any suggestions re museums/exhibits to see. I look forward to speaking with you all.
