Dear Community,
If you are anything like our editorial team (all 8 of us!), we watch each other’s backs and make sure to remind each other of our tasks ahead. As a team, we have all benefitted so much from applying the wisdom of how we work and live from Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave’s Hermetic classes, so we thought to send one more ‘ahoy’ out to Adepts (Empower Thyself Class graduates) or Healers Academy graduates for the classes you are able to attend in October! This is a huge opportunity to receive seeds that will grow deep roots and build the flower garden of your life.
This weekend, we have our first Wicca Ceremony in our new MMS UK & EU HQ in London. This Sunday 21 September, we will be celebrating Mabon on the cycle of Wheel of the Year. These are open to Adept Initiates. Read more below!
Join us for Metaphysical Wednesdays TONIGHT, in our new MMS UK & EU HQ in London. See the schedule below.
And don’t miss the FREE Webinar on Kabbalah, open to all, with Ambassador Eric about Kabbalah THIS Thursday 19 September. Learn more about the hidden wisdom of the Soul.
Your weekly Chi-Do booster is available tonight, live on Zoom.
We hope you are enjoying the last of the summer sunshine.

Why understanding Hermetics in this world is so essential
Once you understand what the core of Hermeticism actually is, there is no way you would ever want to miss a Hermetics class again. It is the base upon which life is built—these are the building pillars of life, that which has always been there, before any religion or other human creation. Hermetics stretch far beyond. Everybody’s life improves once more Hermetic wisdom is applied to one’s life, and yes, this includes yours too!
Don’t you often find yourself in situations where everybody lives in a different reality and you don’t even know what’s right anymore? It can become so frustrating. Understanding the core of Hermetics resolves all of these issues, quite literally. Go test it if you don’t believe me. I’ll attach some testimonials here and a video for you to watch. Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave gives you a taste in this video of what it is like to learn directly from him and especially to study hermetics.
“What happens if the problems in the world that we aren’t able to fix are spiritually based, and the solution lays in our understanding of our spirit — not just our mind, not just our emotions, not just our physicality? And therefore we try to bring a mental solution to a spiritual problem, we try to bring a physical solution to a spiritual problem, we try to bring an emotional response to a spiritual problem, and none of it gets fixed. Many problems in the world today are spiritually based, and we have to understand how spirit affects us.
The classes that we teach, particularly the classes that I’ve been doing in the last few years, are based on the keys you need to understand better where spirit fits into your life, where God fits into it. And unlike a church, unlike a religion, the place you worship is your life. The place where your greatest presentation of understanding the divine is, is in how you live, how you treat others, most especially how you treat yourself — because the greatest temple that one can attend is inside the self.
And so we give you tools so that you understand the beginnings of how you may understand who and what you are worshiping within. These understandings are called keys, and these keys are necessary, and it’s the right time for humanity to have them. These keys are not the keys of a human mind; they’re the keys of universal understanding of wisdom and good, and they work for all humans everywhere.
It doesn’t matter what our religious belief, our political belief, or our psychological belief is — it doesn’t matter what our beliefs are. These keys are the ones that will grant you greater understanding to effectively change your life, most especially in your relationships to yourself and others.”
— Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon, Third Order Member & Key Lineage Holder
I personally took every single Hermetic class that has been offered as fast as I could, and I’ve taken them more than once! There is just so much that happens when you sit in a Hermetic class. You watch your life unfold in such an elevated way afterwards. You walk away with more clarity, more integrity, a sense of relief, and most especially, a much greater sense of joy in your life!
Join us this October for a masterful opportunity to study Hermeticism with Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave personally and elevate your life to the next level. What are you waiting for? Spots can run out fast, so I recommend setting your deposit as soon as you can, and we will all see each other there!

“When I heard the name of the class How to live a Hermetic Life, honestly, I wasn’t that interested. I chose to take the class because it was a pre-requisite for other hermetic classes that I was interested in from Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Landon. Wowee, am I ever glad I took it! How to live a Hermetic Life is truly a different beast…you may think to yourself, “why would I need to live my life hermetically?” I understand the question, because I had it too. A hermetic life is a life built on the universal hermetic principles, the kind that whether you like it or not, apply to you. Hermetics isn’t about a difference of opinion, or ways of doing things. It simply is. So when you receive the keys to living life hermetically, as long as you abide by those principles, you can’t go awry. And yet we are human, and we all go awry occasionally, at which point I metaphorically pull out the understanding and wisdom that I have received as a result of the How to live a Hermetic Life class and I am set back with my compass due north. How to live a Hermetic Lifeteaches you how to be in alignment with the light, with hermetics, and with the true principles for living. It is underrated and everyone should jump at the opportunity to study hermetics in this pure lineage that we are so grateful to have.”

Celebrate Mabon: A Ceremony of Balance & Gratitude
As the autumn equinox approaches, we are called to pause, reflect, and honour the natural cycles of the year. Mabon is a sacred time of balance on the Wheel of the Year, where day and night are in perfect harmony, and we take a moment to give thanks for the abundance in our lives.
We warmly invite you to join us for a Mabon Ceremony at the Modern Mystery School UK and European Headquarters, where we will:
Connect deeply with the energy of the season: grounding and centring ourselves
Reflect on the past season and release what no longer serves us
Set intentions and plant seeds for the season ahead
Experience guided meditation, seasonal rituals, and energy alignment practices
This gathering is a space for stillness, reflection, and renewal. This ceremony offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, your community, and the rhythms of nature.
Come and celebrate the richness of the harvest, honour your personal growth, and step into the season with clarity, gratitude, and balance.
Date & Time: 21 September at 5pm (Doors will open at 4.30pm)
Location: Modern Mystery School UK & EU HQ, 4 Celbridge Mews, London W2 6EU
