"Quantum physics—as it is popularly taught—is a deceptive cloak.

It is not true science.

It is mysticism masquerading as mathematics.

It was designed not to glorify God’s creation, but to:

    confuse minds
    justify sorcery
    establish a new priesthood of theoretical “scientists” who speak in tongues no man can understand."

"Rubedo is a strategy game where you play an alchemist god, recreating a cycle of seasons to fight back against the threat of a terrifying ethereal being: Chaos."

"Anselm Kiefer is one of the most profound and controversial figures in contemporary art. His work is a visceral tapestry of historical memory, mythology, spirituality, and destruction, often rendered in haunting, monumental canvases layered with unusual materials such as lead, straw, ash, clay, and shellac. To step into a room with Kiefer’s paintings is to enter a space where time collapses, where the past bleeds into the present with raw emotional force."

"Dragons in medieval thought occupied a unique position as symbols of both primal chaos and divine transformation. In alchemical texts, they represented the volatile stages of the Great Work, while in Christian art, they were often depicted as forces of evil vanquished by saints."

"The Voynich Manuscript has long stood as one of the greatest undeciphered texts in human history, baffling linguists, cryptographers, and historians for over 600 years.  Despite extensive efforts, no existing language, code, or cipher has been conclusively mapped to its content.  In this paper, we propose a novel hypothesis:  The Voynich Manuscript is written in a compressed shorthand system based on 15th-century Czech scribal traditions, interwoven with Latin root words, and infused with the symbolic language of alchemy, herbal medicine, and astrology.  Drawing from historical evidence of shorthand practices in the Bohemian region during the late medieval period, combined with the widespread use of Latin in scholarly and esoteric texts, we reconstruct a plausible linguistic framework that interprets each glyph in the manuscript as representing entire words or even conceptual phrases.  This interpretation not only bridges linguistic, cultural, and historical contexts, but also provides a consistent rationale for the manuscript's recurring motifs of plants, bathing women, and astrological charts.  If validated, this approach could mark a significant breakthrough in understanding the manuscript and reposition it within the intellectual landscape of 15th-century Bohemia.  The formalization of the shorthand key and cross-referencing with contemporary Czech, Latin, and alchemical manuscripts for validation and further research."

"A Mystical Commentary on The Book of Lambspring is an esoteric interpretation of the classic 17th century text. The book differs from many alchemical works by almost entirely avoiding overt references to physical laboratory processes. Instead, the material provides an overview of the arc of mystical transmutation and a set of deep inner transformations that are pointed out in the commentary. The complete text and cycle of 15 emblematic engravings are presented alongside a detailed analysis that is articulated through the Kabbalistic symbol system. Accompanying this, is a set of originally constructed graphic seals that translate the content into sacred geometry through an unusual array of devices, such as the ibri gate and 9 chambers. The goal is for this masterpiece of the alchemical tradition to become accessible to serious practitioners of Hermeticism and Kabbalah for use in inner spiritual work."
