Enter the loop where sound becomes spirit.

“Loop of Becoming (The Alchemical Recursion)” is an instrumental invocation — a sonic ritual forged through recursive layering, designed to mirror the cycle of transformation found in the Hermetic arts.

"Former soldier Marc O’Hara is acting as a reader for an intelligence service in London when the call comes in. He's to be re-activated as a field agent and assigned to solve a 13th century alchemical riddle. A terrorist cell called the Red Death has the same goal. If the terrorists solve the clues first, they will unleash an ancient flesh-eating toxin. Even more alarming, they will possess the key to the most shrouded secret in history."

"The Knights Templar found something beneath Solomon's Temple that transformed them into the richest and most feared organization in medieval Europe. But when they became TOO POWERFUL, they were annihilated. What did they discover that justified their mass execution?"

"During the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, magic was not considered esoteric or removed from the mainstream. Rather, it was a key route to knowledge, often inextricable from theology and science. Although the latter may have prevailed—the empirical New-Scientific revolution of the mid-seventeenth century claiming to supersede such arcane modes of thought—before this, magic was prevalent. Early modern linguistic theory had not lost the occultist or religious faith that language could conjure, summon, curse, cure, or bind with oaths, and therefore sustained conceptions of a fertile semiotics whereby the word did not just refer or designate, but could also create and invoke."

"This new academic body is the first gathering of scholars and practioners who are interested to get to the truth of Mary Magdalene as a historical, archetypal and spiritual figure. What was she actually ? What happened between her and Jesus of Nazareth ? What was her role in spreading the early theology of Christianity ? We invite anyone with an interest in these questions to join our Association and to attend our annual research conferences, which will be held on July 22. We will also be organising pilgrimages to special sites associated with Mary Magdalene. Among the fields we are interested in are: Biblical Studies, Enochian literature, apocryphal texts, textual analysis, archaeology, pneumatology, feminist theology, spirituality, comparative religion, Judaism, Christianity, ancient and mediaeval history, gnosticism, Qabalah, linguistics, gender studies, esotericism, sacred sexology, demonology, angelology, exorcism, spiritual healing, Hermeticism, Cathar studies, hagiography, French Esoteric Christianity, Dominican studies, Templarism, shamanism, pagan studies, Galilee studies, Hellenistic Judaism etc. Our intention is to publish an academic journal devoted to the studies of Mary Magdalene in time, partly based on the papers at our annual conference."
