If you’ve been drawn to medieval art, illuminated manuscripts, and the quiet discipline of traditional craftsmanship, these courses are a wonderful place to begin.
This summer, I’m opening enrollment for four medieval illumination courses: The Art of Medieval Initial, Medieval Wildlife, Medieval Patterns, and the brand-new The Art of Medieval Dragons.
Inside, I guide you step by step through the foundations of medieval illumination, from materials and tools to building complete, thoughtful artworks inspired by historical traditions.
You don’t need prior experience, just curiosity, patience, and a love for detail.

"For over one hundred and fifty years, the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia has pursued its founding mission quietly, rigorously, and away from public view: to investigate the philosophy of Hermes Trismegistus, the secrets of the Kabbalah, and the meaning and symbolism of the wisdom, art and literature of the ancient world. Now, for the first time, that work steps into the open."

"The Abyss (French: L'Œuvre au noir) is a 1968 novel by the Belgian-French writer Marguerite Yourcenar. Its narrative centers on the life of Zeno, a physician, philosopher, scientist and alchemist born in Bruges during the Renaissance era. The book was published in France in 1968 and was met with immediate popular interest as well as critical acclaim, obtaining the Prix Femina with unanimous votes the year of its publication. The English translation by Grace Frick has been published under the title The Abyss or alternatively Zeno of Bruges. Belgian filmmaker André Delvaux adapted it into a film in 1988."

"The doctor and alchemist Zénon Ligre returns to his country of origin Flanders using false documentation, after spending his life traveling around Europe. In his hometown of Bruges, he finds work as a doctor in the convent of the Cordeliers. After founding a clinic and spa, he sets out to work as a doctor and alchemist for the poor. Zénon‘s ideology and methods were very popular among the Flemish population, but they ran the risk of being condemned by the Inquisition because they deviated from official orthodoxy. Having engaged in bisexual relations for several years, Zénon is accused of having homosexual relations with a young friar. Long sought after by authorities for his subversive writings, Zénon is arrested. He is tried by a court of the Inquisition and accused of witchcraft, murder, and unnatural relations. Rather than be burned at the stake, he prefers to choose his own death."

What if the heart is not simply a pump?

What if the heart is a vortex machine?

What if blood, water, sunlight, magnetism, thought and trace gold are all part of a deeper energetic system within the body?

This is the hidden territory where Rudolf Steiner, Frank Chester, Paco Torrent Guasp, Viktor Schauberger, structured water, monatomic gold and the ancient phrase “a heart of gold” begin to meet.

This article explores the heart through an alchemical lens: not as cold machinery, but as a living centre of rhythm, spiral flow, sacred geometry and golden transformation.

"For centuries, oil paints have captivated artists and audiences alike with their luminous colors, rich textures, and remarkable durability. From the Renaissance masters to contemporary innovators, oil paints have been the medium of choice for countless masterpieces. Yet, beneath the surface of seemingly simple mixtures of pigment and oil lies a complex and fascinating world of chemistry. Understanding the molecular transformations that occur when oil paint dries, ages, and interacts with its environment is not merely an academic exercise; it offers profound insights into the behavior of these materials, empowering artists to make informed choices and art conservators to preserve our cultural heritage."
