Hi, I’m Mark Stavish, and welcome to the IHS-MOL! For more information proceed inside and take a look at our official newsletter, The Black Fez. This will tell about our activities, members, and even some helpful hints for your spiritual practice. Oh, and how to get our nifty lapel pin, esoteric degrees of your choice, and the dues. It is all about the dues...and the fez, always remember the fez.


For now, take a look inside and if you like what you see, go to the Institute for Hermetic Studies at Patreon.com to learn about various levels of sponsorship and the benefits they bring.

This is where it all started in 1998, on the third floor. (All steps, no elevator.)


The Wyoming Valley Society for Esoteric Studies would become the Institute for Hermetic Studies. Its complete four year course is available in the IHS publication, Light on the Path: A Study Guide for Qabala, Alchemy & Astrology, available through Amazon.

Since then we have held numerous classes, seminars, and conferences. We weathered the storms of time because of support from our members.


Our seminars and courses are available through Teachable.com.

IHS-MOL is about bringing people together, for education as well as on a personal and social setting. It is often during the informal periods of rest off from labor that the real work of the Path gets performed.


Through a network of practitioners we are able to help each other on the Path in both formal and informal manners.
