The Ring

This free course explains the meaning of the esoteric mysteries and spiritual symbols hidden in The Ring of the Nibelungen, the famous set of operas by Richard Wagner, based on the Nordic mythology.

“It is evident by all means and with complete meridian clarity that Wagner was a great Initiate [of the secret knowledge], an insightful esotericist, an authentic Illuminated One… [...] It seems that he had scrutinized very ancient religious scriptures…” - Samael Aun Weor, Parsifal Unveiled

We strongly recommend that you watch the entire Ring cycle before you study this course, and do your best to see one that is authentic to Wagner’s directions. There are regular performances all around the world, and seeing these operas live is a special experience to have in life. If this is not possible for you, there are numerous recordings available on DVD that you can purchase or rent, or even borrow from a local library.

This course was originally given live on Gnostic Radio, where you can download the free audio lectures. Below are transcriptions from the audio lectures.
