"While Christian in form, Madame Guyon’s teachings were alchemical in spirit, transforming the soul through silence, surrender, and sacred inner vision. These teachings, once condemned as heretical, now resonate like a hidden chant beneath many esoteric paths. Madame Guyon never called upon the four elements, cast circles, or invoked lunar forces but the quiet revolution Madame Guyon began found fertile ground in the metaphysical world"

| The Emerald Tablet reconsidered |

"The Emerald Tablet (Tabula Smaragdina) is arguably one of the most legendary and mysterious artifacts in Western esoteric lore. Allegedly inscribed by Hermes Trismegistus himself (a hybrid of the Greek Hermes and Egyptian Thoth), the tablet is said to contain the condensed truth of the cosmos. It is the sacred scroll of alchemists, magicians, philosophers, and confused Renaissance nobles.
But here lies the rub: while many mystical texts speak of the Tablet's content, they are suspiciously silent on its construction. Specifically: was it really made out of emerald? And if so, how? In this article, we revisit the Emerald Tablet with both scholarly skepticism and playful reverence, and propose a likely origin that is at once mundane and magical."

"One of the very first feature-length sci-fi films ever made, Fritz Lang’s Metropolis took a daring visual approach for its time, incorporating Bauhaus and Futurist influences in thrillingly designed sets and costumes. Lang’s visual language resonated strongly in later decades. The film’s rather stunning alchemical-electric transference of a woman’s physical traits onto the body of a destructive android—the so-called Maschinenmensch— began a very long trend of female robots in film and television, most of them as dangerous and inscrutable as Lang’s. And yet, for all its many imitators, Metropolis continues to deliver surprises. Here, we bring you a new find: a 32-page program distributed at the film’s 1927 premiere in London and recently re-discovered."
