What Students Say About Perseus Courses
Real student reviews from Perseus Arcane Academy courses in Hermetic training, Franz Bardon practice, visionary Hermeticism, meditation, magical foundations, energy work and internal alchemy.
This first semester at the School of Visionary Hermeticism stands, for me, as a moment of real inner displacement, a shift that goes beyond learning and touches something more essential. It marked the beginning of a path I had not fully accessed before, both magical and spiritual.
This course was both challenging and rewarding, offering a rare balance of practical Hermetic work, philosophical depth, and genuine personal transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend it to sincere seekers.
Having some experience in both Bardon’s Hermetics and the basic practices of the Golden Dawn, I was drawn to this course as a method to syncretize my practice as well as streamline it.
Andre is an artist and magician; his courses are curious works of art that draw us upon a journey. Every step is an unfolding of our potential as human beings and as magicians.
Really helped make sense of things I’ve felt and experienced but couldn’t explain. Now I see how the energies connect and transform into one another.

Questions
Where Should You Start?
The challenge is often not access to information, but choosing the right next step and giving it steady attention.
I am new to magic. Where should I begin?
Start with the About page, the free courses, and the beginner-friendly material. Build foundations before moving into advanced evocation, Quabbalah or more specialised training.
I am a Franz Bardon student. What should I read first?
Begin with the Franz Bardon resource guide, then explore the Sixty Skills and Hermetic courses that support concentration, elements, soul mirror work and practical training.
Are the courses beginner friendly?
Some are. Others are advanced. Read the course descriptions carefully and choose according to your current level, your interests and the foundations you already have.
Do I need to follow one teacher only?
No. Perseus is a platform, not a single-teacher system. The point is to learn from serious practitioners while developing your own discernment and practice.
Is Perseus only about courses?
No. Perseus also contains interviews, essays, resource guides and community discussion. The courses are the structured training arm of a larger esoteric archive.
