About this course

Initiation into Hermetics is the foundation of Sifu Mark Rasmus's Hermetic curriculum, working systematically through the ten steps of Franz Bardon's classical system. Alongside the methods themselves, Sifu Mark provides the practical guidance, corrections, and refinements that help a practitioner move through each stage of the initiation efficiently rather than stalling on it.

The course is built for serious internal development. Whether the student comes as a martial artist, meditator, Qi Gong practitioner, or energy worker, the material is directed toward mental mastery, sustained focus, and a working understanding of Hermetic science.

The library holds more than 380 video lessons, many of them filmed during workshops and private training. Much of what it contains is rarely shared this openly — the kind of instruction ordinarily reserved for those studying in person.

The lessons are posted by date rather than in a fixed sequence, and many subjects carry follow-up videos. The recommended approach is to begin at the first lessons and progress step by step: practicing each method diligently, keeping a journal of experiences and results, and reflecting, refining, and repeating as needed.
