"Avalon Working is equal parts grimoire and devotional, gazeteer and visionary journey. In a journey to the heart of Albion, the work passionately argues for Glastonbury as a centre of emergence and initiation, a latter-day Eleusis. The work invites readers to actively participate in the Holy Island’s unfolding destiny, in partnership with its guardians and powers, to co-create its mythopoeia and, in doing so, forge a new Avalonian covenant. Glastonbury’s role and status in the tapestry of Britain’s magickal history is significant and undeniable, from Edward Kelley to Dion Fortune. Yet it has also come to embody the worst traits of the New Age, which commodifies and trivialises the sacred. In Avalon Working, Mark Nemglan restores the Holy Island’s reputation as a locus and fountainhead of extraordinary magickal power for a new generation of practitioners and seekers. Writing in a progressive occult idiom, Nemglan evokes the multiple threads of Celtic, Arthurian, Druidic and Faerie currents and braids these with alchemical, geomantic, witchcraft, Thelemic, Typhonian and Draconian traditions."

"At the same time, [Cagnetti] devoted himself to the study of classical Greek and Latin sources, including Agricola, Biringuccio, Cellini, Dioscorides, Pliny, Theophrastus, and others. It is during this period that Andrea Cagnetti makes a striking discovery: the world of alchemical knowledge."

"In Greek vocabulary, a precise distinction is established between two forms of air:
● ἀήρ (aḗr): the lower air, breathable and mutable, associated with vapors, clouds, and atmospheric
changes.
● αἰθήρ (aithḗr): the upper air, clear and radiant, linked to the open sky and to the region of the
stars.
The word αἰθήρ also preserves a direct association with fire, through its etymological relation to the verb
αἴθω (“to burn,” “to kindle,” “to shine”). Within this framework, aether is described as an air of a distinct
quality: luminous, subtle, and “ardent” in the sense of clarity and radiance—proper to the upper realm, a
celestial fire not subject to combustion or consumption."


Briefs in ancient cosmology #9 by P Sanchez

"The purpose of this essay is to offer an account of the hidden meaning of the Volsung Saga (Völsunga saga). In drawing out this meaning, I will approach the saga from a Traditionalist standpoint, broadly speaking; i.e., from the standpoint of Guénon and Evola. I will touch on some details concerning the relation of the saga to other sources, but I do not aim to provide anything like the sort of account a historian or philologist might give."

Symbols designed by European alchemists incorporating elements of Chinese origin

S Mahdihassan

"Alchemy arose in China as cult of longevity generating life-force by imitating creation. Heaven and Earth, as opposites, were conceived as responsible for creation. They were believed to be round and square-shaped when their emblems became Compass and Carpenter's square. These have been retained in the symbols designed by alchemists of the Medieval Age without, however, revealing their origin or significance."

"Long before modern chemistry, alchemists relied on a precise set of tools to transform matter and unlock nature’s hidden secrets—each instrument a vital link in the alchemical journey."

From an alchemical and Rosicrucian compendium, c. 1760.

"Very very interesting scene...Which proves that (at least some) people in 1760 knew the real meaning of griffin: complex animal calendar marker for autumn... Let me explain why I think so."
