The Components of Alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone
Today, alchemy is an idea that has been pigeon-holed into either fantasy fiction or mad scientist craze (often both at the same time), and like any of the ancient sciences of the Mysteries, alchemy as an idea is shelved by most people before even being considered. Also like the collection of ancient sciences (astrology, numerology, Tarot, Read More…
Your Esoteric Initiation – Part 3: Your Archetypes Own You
“Everything in life is just a matter of transmission,” a couch-surfing Eskimo once said to me, while smoking a cigarette he had just rolled. “Like starting your car.” The simplicity of the statement made it all the more poignant, especially for the situation at hand.

Your Esoteric Initiation – Part 2: Everything You Thought You Knew is Actually the Occult
The argument between science and religion has always been useless, because they are both different sides of one coin: esoteric occultism.

Understanding the Science of Symbolism
Enter a fancy, postmodern art gallery. A variety of pieces are in front of you, perhaps filling up the vast majority of the room.

Mysteries of the Pineal Gland Ignored by Mainstream Science and Research
(WakingTimes) There is an endocrine gland within our bodies that, when unimpeded, receives more blood flow per cubic volume than almost any organ in the body, including the heart.[1][2] It has been written about in masked language, or painted in art throughout the ages, and represented in a staggering number of ways for thousands of Read More…
