Divine Directions

Service Description

In many mystical traditions, the performance of rituals involving the four compass directions are commonplace, and in some cases considered a staple of magical practice. Commonly called by various names in the Western Esoteric canon such as “calling the quarters,” “calling the corners”, or “squaring the circle,” these rites have an impressive pedigree, with variations going back at least 3500 years. Join occultist and Alchemy Works co-owner Anthony Teth as he examines and explains a variety of different quarter-calling ritual practices and magical technologies. From Mesopotamian exorcism rites to Medieval temple preparations, Masonic initiations, and even children’s bedtime prayers, we find the fourfold ritual structure emerging time and time again throughout the historical annals. Learn how the Fourfold has become a force of reckoning for a myriad of practitioners both ancient and modern.
