"What kind of door might an alchemical key unlock? The whole of alchemy is seemingly akin to a sealed vault — one in which even the keys themselves remain cryptic in their function. The image below shows one such key. It is an emblem known as the ninth key of Basil Valentine." (Colouring by Adam)

The Alchemical Door, also known as the Alchemy Gate or Magic Portal (Italian: Porta Alchemica or Porta Magica), is a monument built between 1678 and 1680 by Massimiliano Palombara, marquis of Pietraforte, in his residence, the villa Palombara, which was located on the Esquiline Hill, near Piazza Vittorio, in Rome.

“The Upanishadic vision sees the inter-connectedness of all life. The sacred Fire Yajna offers a doorway wherein all the elements can return to the ultimate source of the Atman which mysteriously resonates eternally in every cell of the body and in every level of dimensional awareness, existing in a realm outside of linear time / space, yet consuming all time. This visible Fire Sacrifice becomes an Antar-Yajna, an internal sacrifice, within the devotee radiates waves of Prana into the mind-space transforming the mind into a Manasika Yajna. When this occurs, every aspect of the mind is transformed into a sacred ritual space whereby every breath resounds “Swaha” and an alchemical vision is born as a flame within water.”

"An ancient abbey. A missing stone. A legend that could change everything. True facts.

In a centuries-old monastery south of Rome, a mysterious mosaic stone is stolen—one the monks believe holds the power of resurrection. Colonel Camarata turns to Professor Cariello, who happens to be conducting excavations nearby.

But the case quickly deepens. The stone may have once belonged to none other than Saint Thomas Aquinas—the philosopher who shaped Christian theology, argued for the existence of God, and, as legend has it, possessed the elusive Philosopher’s Stone.

As shadowy forces emerge and a monk turns up dead, Cariello finds himself entangled in a mystery far greater—and far more personal—than he expected.

A gripping blend of history, myth, and suspense—rooted in real events and age-old secrets."

"Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist and professor, often discusses alchemy in a symbolic and psychological sense rather than as a literal medieval practice of turning lead into gold. His perspective on alchemy is deeply influenced by Carl Jung’s ideas, particularly Jung’s concept of individuation and the transformation of the self."

"Antoine-Joseph Pernety’s The Great Art is one of the most structured, complete, and spiritually charged texts on Hermetic Alchemy ever published. Originally written by a Benedictine monk, librarian to Frederick the Great, and founder of esoteric Masonic orders, this book is not merely a treatise—it is a manual of metaphysical initiation, offering a synthesis of alchemical wisdom from Egyptian, Greek, Jewish, Islamic, and Christian traditions."
