by Anubis: The Walker Between Worlds with Ina Cüsters-van Bergen Director of Studies at the Academy for Hermetic Arts and Sciences Third Degree Adept, Lineage of Dion Fortune • Author of The Temple of High Magic
Are you ready to awaken your sacred inner landscape—and reclaim the throne of your spiritual power?
Under the expert guidance of Ina Cüsters-van Bergen, a seasoned Adept of the Western Mystery Tradition, you are invited into a transformative spiritual training guided by Anubis, the ancient Egyptian Jackal god—guardian of the threshold, guide of souls, and initiator of mysteries.
This is not just a course. It is a training, it is a soul initiation—a journey across veils, realms, and realities, one lesson at a time.
Over 12 live sessions spread across 4 months, Ina blends Hermetic and alchemical temple teachings with modern methods like hypnosis, NLP, systemic therapy, and family constellations to guide you through a deep recalibration of the psyche and soul.
You’ll learn how to walk between the worlds with clarity and power, just as the ancient priests did in their Houses of Life. You’ll discover how to connect with the Egyptian Neteru—especially Anubis—as living forces of wisdom, healing, and transformation.
This training will show you how to transform your subconscious into a fertile ground for sacred growth, heal spiritual wounds and emotional traumas, and access the Inner Planes to align with your higher self. You'll build a daily practice that empowers you to cause real change, using meditation, ritual, prayer, and dreamwork as practical tools for inner mastery.
These are the Lessons of the Jackal—teachings once reserved for temple initiates, now opened for those who feel the call to step into their mythic life and walk the path of the adept.

12 Live Webinar Lessons (1 hour each, via Zoom) + 1 Private Transpersonal Coaching Session with Ina
There is a power older than time, whispered through temples lost to sand, sung by the Nile beneath a moonlit sky—a power that calls to something deep within us. That power is Heka, the Egyptian magic of transformation, of illumination, of the soul’s journey back to its own divine light.
In this twelve-part live webinar series, Heka! Egyptian Magic, we invite you to step beyond the veil of the ordinary into the sacred.
These are not just lessons. They are initiations. Not just information, but re-membering your lost soul parts.
Together, we will explore the sacred techniques of Egyptian High Magic—ancient methods for spiritual awakening, self-transformation, and the embodiment of divine presence. This journey is about more than study. It’s about feeling the mystery move through your life, rekindling a sense of wonder, beauty, and mystery.
What You'll Experience

Not just to learn—but to remember. Not just to listen—but to awaken. Not just to believe—but to become.
Heka is not a story from the past. It is the living magic of your soul.
When Nephtys gave birth to Anubis, Isis treated the child as if it were her own; for Nephtys is that which is beneath the earth and invisible, Isis that which is above the earth and visible; and the circle which touches these, called the horizon, being common to both, has received the name Anubis, and is represented in form like a dog; for the dog can see with his eyes both by night and by day alike. And among Egyptians Anubis is thought to possess this faculty, which is similar to that which Hecatê is thought to possess among the Greeks, for Anubis is a deity of the lower world as well as a god of Olympus. Some are of the opinion that Anubis is Nun. For this reason, inasmuch as he generates all things out of himself and conceives all things within himself, he has gained the appellation of ‘Dog.’ Plutarchus

The Fisher King is the archetype of the Wounded King, a metaphor for you yourself. We are all wounded in certain ways, and thus less effective in manifesting our true mission in life.

This meditation gives insight in an ancient Greek method of healing by means of Soul Retrieval.

Trump XVII Ocean Mother - Aquarius - The Stars
'Tzaddi is not the Star', the angel said, without explaining it further. This sentence has been an enigma that needed to be solved. The solution is not to switch the position of this tarotcard with the Emperor, the solution is much simpeler; Tzaddi is the Stars, the starry Goddess Nu*t.
