Abstract
CAMPOS, Marcelo Leandro de and SILVA, Ana Rosa Cloclet da. Occidental Esotericism in Latin American lands: notes about the Gnostic Movement of Samael Aun Weor. REHMLAC [online]. 2016, vol.8, n.1, pp.25-50. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v8i1.24283.
This article presents the Colombian esoteric Samael Aun Weor in two contexts: first, inserted in a more general framework arrival of European esoteric ideas to Latin America and its reinterpretation from endogenous peculiarities; in this particular case, we worked through on his doctrinal contributions regarding sexual magic; second, we analyzed the fundamental dynamics which constitutes the Samael's Gnosticism. In this case we concentrated on the progressive influence Gurdjieff / Ouspensky's thought has on Samael's work and its implications in the institutional field, especially after his death.
Keywords : Neo-Gnosticism; esotericism in Latin America; sexual magic; Gurdjieff; Ancient Rosicrucian Fellowship.
