Shakespeare-First Folio

Shakespeare-First Folio

Join us in examining how Shakespeare truly portrayed in his plays the higher spiritual planes. “Shakespeare’s knowledge of the super-physical is no less complete and comprehensive
than his knowledge of human nature which is the wonder of the modern
world.” [L.W.Rogers] We will discuss ghosts, prophesies and omens in Macbeth and Hamlet. Please bring your favorite examples from his other plays. This program, as are all TS-MD Sunday programs, is free and open to the public, but this is a special Sunday program for two reasons – first of our “Centennial Sundays” and third in our series “Theosophy in Literature and the Visual Arts”.

2016 is the 100th anniversary of Annie Besant signing our charter as a lodge in the worldwide Theosophical Society. Each month through December we will designate a Sunday to commemorate our Centennial by inviting a special new speaker, or by re-creating a program from our long history. This Sunday’s talk is based on one given in Baltimore on February 14, 1937, “The Occultism in Shakespeare” by Dr H. Douglas Wild.
