#Ariel Gatoga#historical figures#influence#teachings
Answer
I draw from a mix of occult, mystical, and philosophical lineages rather than one single source. Some of the most significant historical influences on my craft and teachings include:
- The Hermetic and Western occult tradition (e.g., teachings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and the broader Hermetic corpus)
- Classical Qabalistic and occult authors (filtered through modern teachers like the Golden Dawn and later writers)
- Various strands of traditional witchcraft and folk magic, especially those that emphasize practical, results-oriented work and spiritual ethics
- Broader mystical philosophy, such as Platonic and Neoplatonic ideas about the One, the soul, and the imagination
Because my work is an integration of several streams, I tend to focus more on workable principles and spiritual laws than on venerating particular personalities.
Is there a particular tradition or figure you’re curious about in relation to my work?
