He has developed a distinctive approach called Meta Magick, which blends various mystical traditions such as Tarot, Qabalah, Enochian, and Chaos Magic. A key aspect of his philosophy revolves around the use of magickal calendars, particularly the 'Ibisystem Orrery.' This tool aligns spiritual practices with planetary orbits, aiming to harness cosmic influences for personal and collective growth. Dr. Duchemin offers courses like the Meta Magick Tarot and Meta Magick Scrying, which provide participants with immersive experiences in these esoteric arts. His teachings emphasize magic as a means for healing and transformation. I wanted to do this post as I think he is an absolute genius, and his approach to Magick is extrememly practical, he has you build tools and actually use them as part of the training. All theory is backed up by practical work, this is sorely needed to avoid armchair enthusiasts with no actual ability. So I am a big fan of his work and have compiled his current curriculum here for I hope those with the curiosity to take advantage of. I invite you to ignore all of my writing on this page and just watch the free previews that I have posted, if you sit through the entire lesson, you will see just how far this curriculum can take you and that Dr Peter Duchemen is a teacher who wants you to get there. --- ## Meta Magick Scrying ## Course Overview https://youtu.be/QgkEnA-G8iY?si=oVlP3BawE7aRxcV9 The Metamagic Scrying course is a seven-class journey that guides students through increasingly complex projects. Here's what you can expect: - **Mathematical Objects**: You'll work with magic squares, circles, stars, and other shapes arranged in arrays where the numbers form magical sums. - **Art Creation and Scrying**: Students will create artwork hosted on these mathematical objects, assembling a multi-layered system of metamagic fields. The scrying process involves perceiving sounds, smells, and visions associated with these objects, developing an almost synesthetic quality to your practice. - **Scrying Techniques**: Learn to enter a mindset where you can perceive beyond the ordinary, tapping into sounds, smells, and visions related to the mathematical objects. This process helps create a dialogue between your conscious and unconscious mind. - **Practical Projects**: From hexagrams to pentagrams, circles to squares, you'll engage with various magical forms, including one very famous Square. Each project involves creating art and scrying into the resulting patterns. - **Rubik's Cube Meditation**: Discover how to enchant and use a Rubik's Cube for powerful meditation focused on transforming obstacles. ## Course Outcomes By the end of the course, students will have: - Developed a set of scribed artworks that serve as personal scrying tools - Learned advanced scrying techniques using mathematical objects - Gained familiarity with various mathematical objects and their magical properties - Built a personal magical "temple" through their created works - Understood how magic and scrying can condition the emergence of time ## Meta Magick Tarot: Parts 1-3 The Meta Magick Tarot Course is a transformative journey into the world of tarot, magick, kabbalah and much, much more, designed for both novices and seasoned practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of the tarot's esoteric and practical applications. This course offers a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern interpretation, guiding students through the intricate symbolism of the tarot while connecting it to broader metaphysical concepts. It is a true representation of the genius that is Dr Peter Duchemen. ## The Structure of the Course The course is divided into three main parts, each focusing on different aspects of the tarot. The first ten weeks delve into the foundational elements of the tarot, exploring its history, structure, and essential meanings. Participants engage with the Minor Arcana, gaining insights into how these cards reflect everyday experiences and challenges. As the course progresses into its second part, the focus shifts to the Major Arcana, starting with an in-depth exploration of "The World," which is the 21st card in this powerful sequence. This transition marks a significant turning point in the course, as it encourages students to trace their paths back up the Tree of Life—a central symbol in Kabbalistic traditions that represents the interconnectedness of all existence. ## The Journey Upwards: The Tree of Life The Tree of Life serves as a metaphorical framework for understanding personal growth and spiritual evolution. In this course, participants will navigate pathways that connect different spheres on this tree, moving from path 32 to path 11. This journey is sometimes referred to as "the path of the serpent," symbolizing a return to one's origins while integrating lessons learned along the way. Each card in the Major Arcana serves as a guidepost on this journey, offering profound insights into human experience and consciousness. ## What to Expect? Each week keeps you busy with a huge amount of information that make this course more like a college course as everything you could ever want to know about Magic, Kabbalah and the Tarot is covered via traditional explanations as well as via the Meta Magick lens. This comes in the form of multiple video lectures and a PDF that summarises everything, these PDFs become your own textbook of the journey and grow considerably as the course moves on. Here is a look at week 1 PDF, the smallest in the course. ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-19-122652.png) ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-19-122631.png) ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-19-122605.png) ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-19-122536.png) ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-09-19-122457.png) **Week 1 PDF (5 Pages), as the course grows so do the size of the PDFs and length of the video lectures.** To balance this huge amount of information each week comes with a lot of practical work, a specific guided meditation and homework to get on with. It starts out slow and steady and then gains momentum as you reach part 2 and 3. ##### Part I introduces the numbered cards of the Minor Arcana 1-10 in the four suits, as well as the sixteen Court Cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZy5CyiM9kI ##### Part II explores the Major Arcana backwards from 21, the World to 11, Justice.  https://youtu.be/bjktN61Qwmo?si=EoxZ3RMcjcy4NmiN ##### Part III completes the exploration of the Major Arcana from 10, the Wheel of Fortune to 0, the Fool. We will save Part 3 content for those in the course... :) ![](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Yellow-and-Black-Modern-Attractive-YouTube-Thumbnail-10-1024x576.png) ## About Dr Peter Duchemen As I have said before I have had the good luck to have met up with Peter several times now. First in Taipei while he and his family where on holiday and then again in Hong Kong where we were joined Nenad Talerman the author of [360 Heads of the Earthzone](https://courses.perseusarcaneacademy.com/collection/paper-hardback) as well as Tanya of [Falcon Books Publishing](https://falconbookspublishing.com/). On each occasion I have been shocked by his knowledge of traditional approaches to Magick as well as more modern approaches as we see in Meta Magick. This is why I also keep saying that his courses are more like an apprenticeship with Meta Magick Skrying or a college course in the case of Meta Magick Tarot. These are experiences that will stretch you intellectually but will also give you a lot of confidence in what you are doing as the practical side is equally important in Peters teachings, you learn as you do. Here I wanted to share some of the interviews with Dr Peter Duchemen, you can see in each that they are only just scratching the surface. This man is full of interesting ideas. https://youtu.be/pJbOlldSfmg?si=jNiKTunIPC44hDRG https://youtu.be/IeLPPsjrVpk?si=MLNRLgBJORfh3IoF Lastly if text is more your preferred medium then I have two written interviews that I did with Peter, they are still two of the most wonderful and most in-depth interviews on the site. [Interview 1](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/post/metamagick-an-interview-with-dr-peter-duchemin/) and [Interview 2](https://staging13.perseusarcaneacademy.com/post/dr-peter-duchemins-meta-magick-a-fresh-approach-to-occult-practices/).
