"1617 was a particularly impressive year for the 49-year old Michael Maier (1568Ȯ 1622), with a Ěurry of publications: the pro-Rosicrucian Silentium Post Clamores ( Silence after the Clamour ), a trial and defense of an alchemical owl, Jocus Severus ( Severe Joke ), warnings of alchemical fraud, Examen Fucorum-Pseudo-Chymicorum ( Swarm of Pseudo-Chymical Drones ), the beautifully illustrated multimedia emblem book, Atalanta fugiens ( Atalanta fleeing), and the focus of this essay, the Symbola Aureae Mensae Duodecim Nationum (The Symbols of the Golden Table of Twelve Nations )."

"This Site, with its apparently high-sounding title, was desired and created by Mario Krejis some 25 years ago, with the help and active contribution of a number of collaborators. The aim I set myself, from the very beginning, was to make esoteric Hermeticism known to as many people as possible, completing the work of popularising 'Sacred Science' begun, a century earlier, by Julian Kremmerz and other great Initiates of his calibre. If I have done this, it is because I believed (and believe) that Hermeticism, understood as a philosophy and practice of life, can still today represent an excellent system for transforming man, enabling him to achieve healthier bodies and an inner state marked by serenity and joy more easily."

"While the child in me enjoyed the safe kind of jeopardy Maria and her friends encountered my adult self loved the mythological, historical and alchemical echoes in sun and moon imagery, motifs from medieval outlaw legends, and symbols like the lion and unicorn supporters from the royal coat of arms. Yet it’s the author’s visual language that most enthralled me, making the many characters distinctive and clothing, furniture, architecture and natural features extremely vivid and sharply delineated."

"In the depths of our planet lies a mystery that has fascinated scientists and thinkers for centuries: the origin of Earth’s magnetic field. The Alchemical Monopole Theory (AMT) offers a revolutionary perspective on this enigma, challenging the foundations of geology and physics. According to this theory, Earth is not as we know it—a massive sphere of rock—but rather a hollow sphere, with a core pulsating with pure magnetic energy."
