Dear Community,
Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave has arrived in London and Keys to the Ancient is now in full swing! The beginning of something very special has just begun!
Alongside this monumental event, two powerful new YouTube videos have been released on the Modern Mystery School International channel—and they are overflowing with Hermetic wisdom, insight, and heart-opening truth.
This week’s newsletter dives into some of the highlights from these new shares, with reflections and quotes.
With love,
Modern Mystery School UK & EU Team

P.S. See you at Chi Do tonight, free and online as always!
Assembling the Life YOU are meant to Live
WHOOSH! …And just like that—another glorious batch of Hermetic wisdom bombs has been dropped by Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave on YouTube.
And guess what? He’s just arrived in London! Keys to the Ancient is now in full swing—five epic, intimate, history-in-the-making days—and the next four are unfolding as we speak!
It’s all happening!
Two powerful new videos were recently released on the International Modern Mystery School YouTube channel, and honestly… I’m still recovering. In the best way possible!
Why would you not do the most you can to produce the greatest amount of joy?
The whole world lies before you. And if you looked at the world as just building blocks – life as just building blocks that you have to assemble – why wouldn’t you assemble the best life possible?
But if you’re not asking questions every day about who you are, about where you can improve, about where you need to grow, about how you can become wiser, more joyful, more successful – whatever those questions may be – you’re kind of condemned to a place of stagnation.

I mean… right?
The simplicity with which these messages are transmitted helps me shift faster in life. There’s something about the clarity and directness that just lands.
It reminds me – I’m the one building my life. And I have the power to make it a great one.
I’m here today to share my favorite takeaways, perspectives, and reflections below. And maybe, just maybe, convince you to hit that play button for yourself and enjoy.
The role of an Ipsissimus is to help move anyone in their presence forward into a greater state of progression and to assist where they can in any worldly affairs to bring more light into the world.
~ Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, Lineage Holder, Ritual Master Teacher
I genuinely feel this to be true.
My whole life, I’ve wondered why people act the way they do… what’s really going on beneath the surface… what causes the world to move as it does.
Learning about Hermetics changed everything for me. It’s like, suddenly, the world around me made sense. I could see patterns. I could see purpose. And I could finally start making real, grounded changes in my life that worked.
I’m eternally grateful for our Ritual Master teacher, Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave, because he genuinely gives his best to help every single one of us rise – to a better place within ourselves, and to a better place for all of humanity.
With such a huge heart and masterful clarity, his way of teaching resonates far beyond what I’ve heard in other spiritual places – even though it might feel uncomfortable and challenging at times. I want the real answers, not just what feels good.
“We are eternal beings. We have never been born and we will never die. That’s truly who we are. We are God – Gods walking in the physical. And when we are living that, we begin to live this royal life as a divine being.”
~ Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, Lineage Holder, Ritual Master Teacher
“In the Mystery School, we say: don’t just have faith in God – know God. Come to know God. And because you are God, as you come to know yourself, you begin to understand others. Even those you disagree with. Their motivations. Their thoughts. And the why behind it all. That’s when real clarity begins.”
~ Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, Lineage Holder, Ritual Master Teacher
The incredible practicality of everything the Modern Mystery School teaches is what I love about it as well. Everything is directly applicable to life. It’s not philosophy for the bookshelf – it’s meant to be lived. I never had this experience in other schools before.
For me, there’s nothing greater than coming back to the core – to what lies underneath everything, to the building blocks of us, of God, and all things created.
I spent my whole life asking deep questions… and I finally feel like I found the door to knock on that I was searching for all along. Maybe some of this can help you in the way it has helped me.
“Decide today – right now – that you’re done. Done being a victim. Done being a reaction. Done being a slave to the patterns of this world. Decide now that you’re ready to change. Because that decision alone – your ‘yes’ – starts the energy moving in the direction of your highest destiny.”
~ Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, Lineage Holder, Ritual Master Teacher
Whew. Read that one again.
There’s something so beautiful about realizing that change starts with a yes. Not with having it all figured out. Not with waiting for the stars to align. But with the smallest, quietest whisper of willingness that says: I’m ready.
I really loved both of these videos, and while the like count seems to be higher on the first one, my favourite is definitely the second! The focus of the second video is on relationships, and I feel like this holds so much value—because relationships, in every form, play such a fundamental role in our lives.
So stay tuned for our share on “Where Life Becomes Love” in the coming weeks. Don’t we all want more love in our lives? Better relationships?
My personal recommendation: soak in as much of this goodness as you can. I’ll definitely be coming back to these videos – because just like the Hermetic teachings in class, there are so many golden nuggets, and we can’t possibly absorb them all in one go.
So go ahead, enjoy, and let the Light sink in.
💛
With so much love,
