An underground stream runs throughout the history of esotericism and counterculture in the West that receives little attention but greatly influenced Plato, the troubadours, Dante, the Italian Renaissance, opera, Agrippa, Shakespeare, the English Romantic poets, the Parisian magus Eliphas Levi, Aleister Crowley, Jean Cocteau, Rainer Maria Rilke, Jack Kerouac, Jim Morrison, and the current Broadway hit musical Hadestown, to name only a few. This talk will explore the mysterious world of Orpheus and the so-called Orphic death passports—passwords written on gold leaf intended to remind the dead of what to say when reaching the afterlife
