Magoist Cosmology (2 Credits) Detailed Course Information & Registration here
Course no: 102
Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D.
Time: 9AM to 1PM PT June 9-July 28 (Tuesdays, 4 hour-long 8 weekly sessions)
Description: Magoist Cosmology offers a window to the matriversal (of maternally perceived universe) reality of WE/HERE/NOW unfolded by the Ninefold Cosmic Music. The ever-presently birthing, growing, and transforming process of entities in the holistic reality according to the principle of causal becoming washes away the linear-monolithic-dualistic worldview. The Magoist Cosmogony recounted in the first four chapters of the Budoji (Epic of the Emblem Capital City), the principal text of Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of Mago, the Creatrix), takes the mind to the Great Unity of ALL in the Creatrix, the matriversal origin of LIFE, and the Ceto-Magoist basis of modern civilization.
The Forgotten Bond with Whales, Dragons, Serpents, and Sea Monsters (0.5 Credit) Detailed Course Information & Registration here
Course no: 408
Instructor: Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, Ph.D.
Time: 9AM to 1PM PT on July 31 and August 7 (Two Fridays of 4 hour-long 2 weekly sessions)
This course explores bio-sono-aquatic-meteorological features of cetaceans (whales) and their symbols of the dragon, the serpent, and the sea monsters from a multidisciplinary perspective. By examining scientific, biological, mythic, linguistic, folkloric, religious, cultural, architectural, and astronomical data yet to be known to the world, we aim to assess the divine nature of whales as the linchpin of matriversal cosmology, described in the Budoji (the Epic of the Emblem Capital City), the ancient Korean text of Ceto-Magoism (the Whale-guided Way of the Creatrix). This course aids one to tap into the intellectual/spiritual power of the Ceto-Magoist consciousness underlying our civilizations.
The Neolithic Matriverse: From Sacred Mother Worlds to Contemporary Erasure (0.5 Credit) Detailed Course Information & Registration here
Course No: 409
Instructor: Dr. Danica Anderson
Time: TBA August 3-August 24 (Tuesdays, 2 hour-long 4 weekly sessions)
Description: This course examines the Neolithic Matriverse—maternal-centered cosmologies, social systems, and symbolic structures documented in the archaeological work of Marija Gimbutas, with
emphasis on Joan Marler’s anthology honoring her work. The course traces how matriversal systems were dismantled through patriarchal conquest, militarization, religious domination, and economic extraction, and how these ruptures continue to shape contemporary violence against women, transgenerational trauma, chronic survival states, and collapsing birthrates. Using Kolo-Informed Trauma, the course integrates feminist archaeology, biopsychology, social epigenetics, and biosemiotics.
