5-part Introduction to Martinism series
Through a 5-part series we introduce the history, purpose and practices of Martinism in its three historical branches: The magical Élus Coëns of Martinez de Pasqually, the knightly and chivalric C.B.C.S. of Jean Baptiste Willermoz, and the mystical Martinist Way of the Heart inspired by Louis Claude de Saint-Martin, the Unknown Philosopher. The last video explores the origins of the French Gnostic Church and its intimate relations to the Martinist Tradition.
