Thank you so much for this. I studied her work and Norman Lindsay's in art college. Its so good to see Rosaleen gain the respect that she deserves. She was a pioneer of street art in Sydney.
There is a great documentary called "Witch of Kings Cross" about her.
Oh man! I was spinning out trying to tnink where I know her from. SHE IS FAMOUS in my City/Country if you are into the Esoteric. The media usually sensationalized what she did. A very conservative country and media found their own "Crowley" to milk for readership. But she was the real deal. Bless You. You will have my eternal gratitude for giving this Lady her fair due with a truly well researched and informative video.

I had never heard of this wonderful witch woman! Another woman who did include personal Gnosis and her own deities was Marjorie Cameron who was married to Jack Parsons. She is super underrated as an artist and was the woman invoked during the Babylon working! ❤

I'm an Aussie and old enough to remember talk of Norton popping up periodically in the esoteric and folklore communities. Each time she was understood differently to the previous time. Theres a few books published about her but all are out of print now, i believe. This vid is one of the most nuanced and complete examinations of the life and work ive seen. Well done, Dr Angela, and thank you.

It’s always great to meet another Witch! I also venerate Pan as All-Father, and Hecate is my Patroness. Many of Norton’s other beliefs and practices resonate with mine, as well. Thank you for introducing her to us!
I learnt more about her from this than in all the years of media commentary. I was 30 when she died and lived in the Cross in the early 80s. There were many fascinating characters in Sydney over the decades.
Please do a video on William Blake :)
Ms. Norton was a trail blazer . 👌
I remember watching a documentary about Rosaleen Norton and everything about her fascinated and inspired me on my own spiritual path (though I should mention that I'm not entirely sure how accurate it was, since they leaned hard into the more sensationalized view of Norton). I agree, Rosaleen was way ahead of her time. I have my own "pantheon" of women magicians who inspired me, and Rosaleen Norton is definitely in there alongside Marie Leveau, Marjorie Cameron, Maude Gonne, Florence Farr, Annie Horniman, Moira Mathers, Pamela "Pixie" Smith and many others. Amazing video! I'm always eager for the next one!
Thank you for mentioning Rosaleen Norton. The mainstream media and the Normie conservatives did not learn to study her and very few still do. Grazie Dr.Puca, for your enlightenment.
I admire her courage to overcome any slander and keep to her inner light!
She passed 17 days before my own birth and the focus of her practices resonate with personal experiences and themes…wow thnx for all you work to share this invaluable information
Rosaleen Norton: In Memoriam. I love her artwork and her biography based movie about her life. Sigh.
I can remember my Parents talking about the witch of kings Cross.
yeah, her version of the left hand path is basically what I've been doing and ya, highly recommend. Wonderful video Angela! Thank you:)

I really love her independent thinking. I work to do the same, that's why I follow your channel to get an educated view on subjects of interest. Which helps me formulate my own path. I walk a "Grey" path. I seek Justice, Balance, and I strive to be one with my Divine self. Blessed Be
Fascinating that some of us on the left hand path do practice w a horned god and a goddess of a chosen Pantheon.I myself do use ceremonial style Satanism.I find that I have a bit of a kindred spirit w her...Great show......

I'm glad you made a video about R. Norton. Until now I was unaware of her existence, and now I find her utterly fascinating. I'm especially intrigued by the intersection of her magical practice with her art and her perception of Pan as being androgynous. Oh, and her interest in a Basque god also piques my interest because I find myself curious about traditional, pre-Christian Basque beliefs. Great video, Angela! 😊
Fascinating! Thank you.
So fascinating! Thank You for sharing
I like this narrative story style from you.
Helloooo! I love your left hand path stuff!
Oh how cool! Im very interested in her painting, as it's something I've touched on here and there in my practice.
She is absolutely fascinating!!!Thanks for this video!!!I loved it!! Keep up the good work!!
Very Interesting Angela
Interesting. I didn't know about her. Great video
I don't know about comparing Dragon Rouge with Aliester Crowley or Norton. I've never seen Crowley or Norton have to put on a ski mask and wield a gun around to try and make themselves look powerful. Not that Crowley didn't hunt...he did. But he sure didn't put out photos of himself wielding his firearm as some kind of image he wanted the world to connect with his name. All he needed was his stare to be powerful.
Very interesting. Her journey (and philosophy) is very similar to my own.
Dr Puca....I've said it before I'll say it again...write YOUR book! You might rehash a few things or might just pour your heart out ....either way I would buy yesterday. Shame we don't live same town same street...I'd bake ya many lasagna and make you Alfredo's just to keep you focused and on your words. Some wine of course if you allowed... so yeah....thats my comment. ✌️🙂 & Cheers! 🍸🍷🍹😘

@@drangelapuca do let me know if you ever come visit! Religious Studies here are all Abrahamic in scope, sadly. I'm currently majoring in Philosophy, and trying to orientate my career to Theories of Primitive Religion on my research and practice. I hope some day to be able to help in expanding a bit more the conception we have of Theology and Religious Studies 🤞
wow, I've never heard of her yet I'm from New Zealand, we're such a small country we usually talk about our heroes lots! I'll be sure to read that book. Interesting she found a home in Kings Cross, Sydney, which is to this day the home of drugs, crime and prostitution, but also a more open attitude to differences than the average society. Yes Aussie and NZ were Very Conservative back in the 50's, 60's, 70's.... lol now? 😛

All this trance stuff begs the question: when did self-induced trance states become "legitimate" (as legitimate as anything is or can be in something as individualistic as this) in Western Esotericism? We're pretty sure they were a thing before written history but self-induced and self-assessed trances seem to be an entirely separate beast, enabling a whole host of ad-hoc mythologies which were conjured to give name to the feelings and experiences evoked by said trance.

Well, auto-suggestion during hypnogogic states is one of the psychopath's super powers. I.e. before you make other people believe the shit you just made up, you got to make yourself believe in it first. And psychopaths have been a part of human culture forever. Shamans (shamen?) have been accessing trance states continuously for probably tens of thousands of years... at least 10 thousand. Monks of all gowns have accessed trance states for thousands of years, and still do. When I was a kid, my grandma had a "self help" book from the 1950s that was all about programming yourself by taking advantage of the half-awake/half-asleep state of mind. It even had a very American way to make sigils using English language acronyms! This was a trade paperback inspired by slightly less hokey books from 30-50 years before that. There was parapsychology research happening around that time. In the previous period, there were seances, theosophy, orientalism... There were witches and herbalists before that. There was more mystery, and less practical knowledge. But someone from a couple thousand years ago might think everyone today is in a trance all the time. Have you ever been on an elevator with a bunch of people who don't know each other? Sure looks like they're in a collective trance! Same thing at a movie theater. At a live tennis match, the ball might as well be a swaying pocket watch, back and forth, "You are getting verrrrry sleeeeeepy..."

I agree with her polytheistic view , but that she calls “Pan” I call “Creation” or “Universal Consciousness” because Pan is also a demon called Pan in sncient times and now Azazel or Paimon. I searched many religions and magical and spiritual practices and I have found many gods, goddesses, demons, angels, ascended masters, immortal yogins,eggregores and so on but I have never found “The God” as meant by most people. Archangels as those evoked in Golden Dawn , are Baal’s creations.
I wish that Mr junior Edward Alexander Crowley should be a hells Angels bicker
I wish we would just call the "astral plane" as imagination. The person is entering the same location as the dream state. To call it the astral plane is really inflating what it is. Its imagination but with the person's hands off the steering wheel. As I am typing this I am realizing there are three states. Pure lucid imagination, lucid dream state imagination where the person has some control and pure dream state with all these accessed outside of sleep.
Australia remains super conservative... she would have been better off if her parents stayed in New Zealand

Not all spiritutality is good...
So, she basically anticipated and probably influenced both Gardneria and Cochranian Traditions. At least this partially explain the basic connections and distinctions between both currents
