Hagia Sophia / Sanctum of Kronos: Spiritual Dissent in an Age of Tyranny is a study of the esoteric doctrines and spiritual traditions encoded within the Hagia Sophia, as manifested in its structural and decorative design.

The Hagia Sophia is one of the world’s most iconic buildings, but its origins in Late Antiquity conceal a sacred mystery preserved in the face of rising Christian tyranny. It is a building that encodes its spiritual agenda, in stone, resonance and light.

Peter Mark Adams has lived for thirty years in sight of the Hagia Sophia, and has turned his expertise to decoding the teachings expressed in the sacred architecture, materials, light and geometries of this remarkable and compelling edifice.  Peter traces the metaphysical and spiritual lineage of the building’s designers; a journey that takes us to the school of Athens; a school specifically established to preserve the initiatory lineage of the mysteries of Eleusis. From Athens it traces the golden chain of initiatic succession to Alexandria, and from there to Tralles, Miletus and Aphrodisias in Asia Minor – the last great Ionian centres of Hellenism and rural paganism. Finally, it examines covert Hellenist, Procopius of Caesarea’s  reactions to the building in the sixth century – shortly after the building had been completed.

We will also discuss Two Esoteric Tarots, a conversation between Peter Mark Adams and Christophe Poncet on the esoteric tarot, in relation to the elite and Saturnian Sola-Busca tarocchi and the popular and luminous Tarot de Marseille.
