Course Title: Virtual Mago Whale Pilgrimage to Korea I (0.5 Credit)
Course No: 301
Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D. (Email: magoacademy@gmail.com)
Time: 10AM-Noon Tentative, Sept 20-Oct 11 (Fridays, 2 hour-long 4 weekly sessions)
Description: We will visit Bangudae whale petroglyphs in Ulsan and the Buddhist Temple of Gameunsa (Graced Temple) in Gyeongju to trace the sites mentioned in the Myth of the Pacifying Flute in which a dragon is described as the carrier of sea waves originated from the pods of narwhals or single-tusked whales. This will offer the key to open the symbolism of a dragon sculpted on the top of a gigantic metal whale bell better known as the Korean temple bell, which leads to the understanding of Sillan Temple Bells as the replica of whale songs to augment the salvific singing of whales from the seas.

Course Summary
Calendar Talk 1: The Magoist Calendar as the Matriversal Guidance to the Human World
Course Rationale: While the calendar talk is potentially shapeshifting in general, our talk on the Magoist Calendar (13 month 28 day), matriversal calendrics, aims at bringing back the original blessing in the human world. It is unfortunate that moderns have been deprived of calendrics at large. Calendar is no mere time chart. Counting time is only an aftereffect. The Magoist Calendar to be in place stands for the very sign of blessing that we humans are in harmony with ALL ELSE in the Matriverse. As a terrestrial logbook co-written by the moon and women in dance with the sun, the Magoist Calendar reflects the Ninefold Cosmic Music, the creative force of the Matriverse. By restoring the Magoist Calendar, we humans, united with the matriversal force, will begin to navigate the original blessing for ourselves and the terrestrial community. When moderns fully understand and adopt the Magoist Calendar, patriarchy will lose its grip on the human world.
Course Objectives:
- Understand how matriversal calendrics is the sign of the terrestrial blessing.
- Understand what the lunar-solar-menstrual calendar implies (synchronization of all matters from the macrocosmic to the microcosmic).
- Familiarize the basic notions and terminologies involved in calendrics (lunation, menstruation, and solarity).
- Compare the Magoist Calendar with the 12 month irregular day calendar.
- Learn the basic grids of the Magoist Calendar (days, weeks, months, and years).
- Understand how the Magoist Calendar reflects the process of causal becoming (creation) that takes place HERE and NOW in WE.
- Understand the Ninefold Cosmic Music, the creative force of the Matriverse.
Method: This course will introduce and discuss the relevant chapters of the Budoji (Epic of the Emblem Capital City) on the calendric numbers shaped in the process of ever-happening creation and the basics of the 13 month 28 day Magoist Calendar as well as Mago Almanac, the modern revival of the Magoist Calendar, reconstructed by Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang for the users of the Gregorian Calendar.
Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D. in USA
Biography: Dr. Hwang is the founder of Mago Academy and the programs of Graduate and Continuing Programs in Creatrix Studies. She is a born poet, student, and advocate for Life of ALL and has encountered Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of the Creatrix) through her doctoral research on Mago, the Cosmic Mother/Creatrix. Dr. Hwang received an M.A. and a Ph.D. degrees in Religion with the emphasis on Women’s Studies. To support her research on Magoism (the Way of the Creatrix), she enrolled in an M.A. program in East Asian Studies and specialized in Korean Buddhism in UCLA. Authored, edited, and published many books and essays by Mago Books and the peer-reviewed academic journal, S/HE: An International Journal of Goddess Studies, and Return to Mago E-Magazine.porate the research findings of archeoastronomers to determine the myths associated with the cycles found on the ancient calendars of the Greeks and the Celts. Identifying the Goddesses of the matri-local cultures of the ancients with the seasons represented by the lunar, solar and stellar bodies has been a major endeavor in the study of archetypes, with an emphasis on the feminine archetypes of the celestial realms. Helen’s research with the Hellenic Studies Center in Washington D.C., her many trips to ancient sites, and her collaborative efforts with scholars in mythology, astronomy, archeology, and art have led to her discovery of the presence of the Goddesses in the night sky and the continued renewal of the Goddesses in contemporary times.
