"E. H., also known as eine jungfer ("a young maiden"), was the pseudonymous author of a 1574 alchemical text. Her treatise describes the properties of gold, and includes instructions for processing the metal. It also includes an interpretation of the cryptic Tabula Smaragdina.
In 1702, a German translation of the text was combined with another alchemical tract and a catalog of 17th-century Kabbalistic books and published in Hamburg by Gottfried Liebezeit as Ein ausführlicher Tractat von Philosophischen Werck des Steins der Weisen, durch eine Jungfer E. H. genannt anno 1574 geschrieben. Samt einer gründlichen Untersuchung... der Art und Eigenschafft des Goldes...dabey angefüget: ein Catalogus Librorum Kabalisticorum.Liebezeit did not know the identity of E. H., but believed she had written the original version in French. In 2026, German artist Anselm Kiefer included a painting of E. H. in his collection, The Women Alchemists, which was displayed in Milan's Sala delle Cariatidi as part of the cultural showcase of the 2026 Winter Olympics." (Wikipedia)

"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."

"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."
