"The Case of Charles Dexter Ward is a short horror novel (51,500 words) by American writer H. P. Lovecraft, written in early 1927, but not published during the author's lifetime. Set in Lovecraft's hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, it was first published (in abridged form) in the May and July issues of Weird Tales in 1941; the first complete publication was in Arkham House's Beyond the Wall of Sleep collection (1943). It is included in the Library of America volume of Lovecraft's work.The novel, set in 1928, describes how Charles Dexter Ward becomes obsessed with his distant ancestor, Joseph Curwen, an alleged wizard with unsavory habits. Ward physically resembles Curwen, and attempts to duplicate his ancestor's Qabalistic and alchemical feats. He eventually uses this knowledge to physically resurrect Curwen. Ward's doctor, Marinus Bicknell Willett, investigates Ward's activities and is horrified by what he finds."

"A confrontation of opposites, a volatile, unresolved duality. A refusal of unity and a fragment of corruption vs. purity and chaos vs. order. A philosophical poison disrupting the process of enlightenment or transmutation. The shadow self, or another necessary inner conflict. A resistance of growth or healing, entropy in response to synthesis. The counteragent of creation"

"Color Was the First Word is a meditative, mystical jazz suite inspired by esoteric teachings on light, perception, and soul. Each composition is an initiation—through sound, through color, through inner transformation. Rooted in the modal traditions of 1960s spiritual jazz and steeped in the metaphysical insights of Western mystery schools, the album guides the listener through the soul’s evolution: from cosmic conception, through descent and illusion, toward awakening and return."

"I found it strange that in my research I found no short, simple introduction to the first known alchemists in the Western world. My article, “Alchemy and the Birth of Modern Science” addresses the rise of operative alchemy in context of the beginnings of ancient science and technology."

"The incineration process, as defined in Rasashastra, involves the burning of various substances, including minerals and metals, to transform them into medicinal forms or ashes. This method includes specific steps such as purification and heating to enhance beneficial properties. Additionally, it applies to different materials like Bimala, copper, haritala, diamonds, iron, and mica, highlighting its importance in medicinal applications. In contrast, scientific definitions of incineration focus on high-heat transformations for both medicinal purposes and waste reduction"

"Unlocking Baphomet: The Dark Symbol That Was Never What You Thought It Was"

By Marcus Hedare


"Few symbols ignite as much intrigue, fear, and fascination as the Baphomet. This horned, winged figure, part human, part beast, both male and female, has captivated occultists, theologians, artists, and conspiracy theorists for centuries. To some, the Baphomet is an unholy terror, a Satanic idol whispered about in dusty grimoires or accused of corrupting youth from atop courthouse statues. To others, it is a misunderstood spiritual cipher, rich with layers of alchemical, esoteric, and mystical meaning. It is often viewed as a visual hymn to the union of opposites and the reconciliation of the divine and the earthly."

"Where alchemy truly began is a mystery. Alchemy is a 2000 year old international tradition, spread across India, China, Egypt, the Near East and Western Europe. The origins of the alchemical tradition reach back into ancient Alexandria, Egypt in the West and Ch’in Dynasty China in the East. It is unknown whether alchemy arose independently in the Orient and the Occident or if it was passed from one half of the earth to the other."
