Gnostic spiritual teacher and author Mark H Pritchard was born in Wales, and writes with his spiritual name Belzebuub (pronounced Bel-se-boob). As a child he had mystical experiences and a compelling interest in spirituality: “Many years ago, I decided that the most important thing for me to do in my life was to find truth and the spiritual. I had experiences that indicated there was more to life than I had been taught to believe, so I decided to dedicate myself to this search.”

At the age of twenty-six this search led him to Gnosis, where through applying its practices and techniques he discovered the spiritual principles at the root of all religions. What followed was an inner journey of self-knowledge and transformation he undertook over many years, until achieving the spiritual awakening within—as mystics of the world have done throughout time. He is now recognized as Gnosticism’s enlightened spiritual teacher, imparting a profound wisdom in his many works and books from his journey to awakening.

He has always taught without profit. In 1990 he founded and started teaching at study centers and retreats across the world. In 2000 he created the website Mysticweb and a series of groundbreaking online courses titled Astral Travel and Dreams, Searching Within, and Esoteric Wisdom in which his teachings were given as downloadable pdfs. Attended by tens of thousands of people in over 100 different countries, they became the most popular courses of their kind on the internet at the time.

Today, Belzebuub continues to teach extensively throughout the world. He is the author of a number of works that convey the timeless wisdom of Gnosis, on out-of-body experiences, dreams, self-knowledge, and enlightenment including A Course in Astral Travel and Dreams which became a bestseller in its genre—and has appeared on major radio and television programs internationally.

Speaking from his own experience, Belzebuub explains complex spiritual truths with clarity and ease. He teaches spirituality as an objective personal search, in which the experience and attainment of divinity occurs within the individual. Central to this is the removal of ego states, such as anger and fear, alongside practices of inner transformation, allowing someone to achieve lasting happiness and peace. It is this individual transformation he says, that lies at the heart of our existence, and is the essential key to transforming humankind.
