Paid our respects to Joséphin Péladan today 🙏🌹
The role of the Adepts is to ensure there will always be colour, despite all that seeks to dull our sight.
Excited for the New Hermopolis Conference in October! Blessed to be in the company of so many inspiring people.
I’ll be speaking on the resurgence of sacred imagination and how we can learn from the alchemical tradition to bring about new forms of utopian society.
Onwards! 🙏🌅
Scala Philosophorum showing both the Lapis and Elixir, alongside the Arbor Philosophorum 🙏🌹
Per the pseudo-Lullian alchemical texts depicted in Mellon MS 12, Yale University Library (c.1500)
After experiencing so much on the trail of Julius Sachse and his accounts of early theosophical communities in Pennsylvania, it was genuinely moving to visit his resting place…
…among many family members inc. the Sadtlers, a generational dynasty of ‘renowned chemists’ 🙏🌹
Wonderful manuscript in the PA Grand Lodge, a rare French precursor c.1760s to the Geheime Figuren… or ‘Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians’.
This version is a link between the DOMA and Geheime documents, with its own unique pages showing the symbolism of alchemical birds. 🙏🌹
Have to say, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania has the most impressive lodge rooms I’ve seen anywhere in the world… putting aside the Grand Temple at UGLE 🙌
Wonderful tour and more on the library visit soon! 🌅
