Who is Saket Rai
The Bridge Between Ancient Wisdom
and Modern Practice
For over 15 years, Saket Rai has been studying, practicing, and teaching at the intersection of clinical hypnotherapy, Javanese esoteric science, Western Hermetics, and energy healing. He is one of the very few practitioners in the English-speaking world who teaches authentic Ilmu Gendam and Javanese Mantra Magnetism — traditions that have remained largely inaccessible outside South-East Asia.
Through Athero Arcana, Saket has trained over 2,000 students across 30+ countries in disciplines ranging from past life regression and Vedic astrology to Hermetic initiation and advanced energy healing. His courses are known for combining rigorous historical scholarship with immediately practical, results-oriented training.
