"According to the Book of Enoch and other Second Temple texts, the Flood was not only a judgment on human wickedness, but a divine intervention to purge the world of knowledge that had been misused. The Watchers, fallen heavenly beings, had descended and taught humanity things they were not meant to know—sorcery, astrology, the use of roots and herbs, weapon-making, seduction, and the crafting of spirits. While not all of these arts were evil in themselves, the motives behind their dissemination and the corrupt state of the world ensured that they led to ruin. When the Flood came, that knowledge was not accidentally lost. It was intentionally erased by God. But humanity, ever unwilling to accept divine boundaries, preserved whispers of it through myth, mystery, and hidden teachings. Alchemy, with its promise of transformation and divine power, did not arise out of purity or wisdom. It was the continuation of a rebellion that the waters of judgment were meant to drown."

"During the scientific revolution, science and soul were drastically separated, propelling humanity into four centuries of scientific exploration based solely on empiricism and rationality. But, as scientist and ecologist Stephan Harding, Ph.D., demonstrates in detail, by reintegrating science with profound personal experiences of psyche and soul, we can reclaim our lost sacred wholeness and help heal ourselves and our planet."

"Herbert Silberer’s Hidden Symbolism of Alchemy and the Occult Arts (1917) explores the deeper meanings behind alchemical texts, Rosicrucian allegories, and mystical traditions, arguing that these works are not simply about chemical experiments but are symbolic accounts of inner transformation. Using both Freudian psychoanalysis and spiritual interpretation, Silberer demonstrates how myths, dreams, and esoteric emblems express unconscious drives as well as higher religious aspirations. He presents an old alchemical parable as a case study, then analyzes it through multiple layers—psychological, mystical, and natural-philosophical—before synthesizing these perspectives into a vision of regeneration, introversion, and the ultimate goal of union with the divine."
