An Initiatory Journey through the Western Mystery Tradition on the Path of the Royal Art
Way of the Wizard is a spoken transmission exploring the Royal Art—the path where alchemy, high magick, Arthurian legend, the Holy Grail, and the Gnostic Christ teachings converge into a unified way of life. I, Seth Balthazar, speak to you as apprentice wizard, Grail knight, disciple of Light, and mystery school initiate. As one who walks the Path and shares the journey as it unfolds. Each episode is a transmission from the Wizard's Tower, where I engage the path as both seeker and guide—Master and Disciple in intimate dialogue and shared exploration. This is a journey through the Western initiatory tradition, restored as a living path for the modern seeker. At the heart of these transmissions lies The Tale of the Exiled Prince: the eternal story of exile and return, fall and restoration. Through this mythic lens, we explore the work of rebuilding the Temple, seeking the Grail, crafting the Stone, cultivating the Rose-Cross, resurrecting the Christ, and crowning the inner King. This is the soul's Great Story—the ascent of the Tree of Life, the path of atonement and redemption, leading to the restoration of the Kingdom within and without. These episodes form a living chronicle of the Quest and the Path—each transmission a chapter in the journey toward illumination, liberation, and inner transformation. The Quest continues and the Great Work calls out for its fulfillment… Together let us walk the Way of the Wizard.
