Giuliano Kremmerz

He was a philosopher, therapeutist and thaumaturgist, and founded the S.P.H.C.I (Schola Philosophica Hermetica Classica Italica) Fratellanza Terapeutica Magica di Miriam, with exclusively therapeutic aims for the benefit of all, and still in operation today through some filiations that inherited the doctrinal and ritual patrimony of the school.

Virtually buried under the effects of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 BC, this tradition had later attempted to re-emerge in various forms, disguised in the works and thoughts of some of the greatest names in culture and medicine, such as Dante and the Fedeli d’Amore the Brotherhood of the Faithful in Love, Cecco D'Ascoli, Pico della Mirandola, Marsilio Ficino (Marsilius Ficinus), Giordano Bruno, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, and Paracelsus, all the way through to Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero, and to the Count of Cagliostro in the eighteenth century and, in more recent times, to the esoteric currents in the Italian Risorgimento.

On the basis of what Kremmerz himself states, it was De Servis who initiated the young Ciro Formisano to the mysteries of the Sacred Science, recognising in him the constituent characteristics of a master of hermeticism, combined with a great humanitarian, tolerant and generous nature.

Ciro Formisano graduated in the Humanities and, after a brief experience as a teacher and then as a journalist, he departed on a mysterious voyage to Montevideo, where it is said he made contact with the shamanic cultures of Latin America.

In 1887, when he had adopted the pseudonym of Giuliano Kremmerz, Ciro Formisano started to write about elements of natural and divine magic through the journal Il Mondo Secreto.
