""Philalèthe - L'entrée ouverte au palais fermé du roi" is a 1740s alchemical text by Eyrenee Philalethe that describes the process of creating the philosopher's stone, an artificial substance able to transmute base metals into gold and grant longevity. Philalethe argues that the true materials for this process are gold and mercury, but only in their “philosophic” forms—which must be prepared through rigorous purification and combination. The text details this process with meticulous instructions, including the construction of a specific furnace, and explains the stages of color changes that the mixture will undergo. Philalethe's text seeks to provide a clear and concise explanation of alchemy, countering the obscurity and secrecy that he believes has stifled progress in the field."

"Our book today is Fulcanelli - Les Demeures Philosophales, which explores the hidden meanings and symbolism behind architecture, specifically focusing on the structures inspired by alchemists in medieval France. The author, Fulcanelli, explains how these structures contained encoded messages that revealed secrets of alchemy. He uses iconography, historical anecdotes, and alchemical principles to interpret the meanings behind various symbols and architectural details, drawing upon a wide range of knowledge including ancient philosophy, religion, and scientific principles. Fulcanelli argues that alchemy was a highly sophisticated practice that involved a the search for the Philosophers' Stone, which required a deep understanding of nature, the universe, and the human spirit, and could be understood by deciphering the symbols embedded within many cathedrals and ancient dwellings."

"This essay delves into Antoni Tàpies’s profound engagement with non-dualism, a philosophical stance encapsulated in the aphorism “samsara is nirvana and nirvana is samsara.” Tàpies’s exploration of non-dualism, which integrates diverse spiritual and philosophical traditions, profoundly shaped his artistic practice and worldview. Drawing from Western hermeticism and Eastern philosophies such as Hindu Advaita and Zen Buddhism, Tàpies embraced non-dual consciousness as a guiding principle in his art."

"As I have a title with cultural and historic relevance still invested with my powers as Seigneur, it allows me to even establish a Priory on the lands within my fief. So, I have decided that the Seigneurie should serve as an international platform, a high priory, for those who are deeply committed to the study and exploration of the inner Grail, Alchemy, and related traditions. In doing so, they will be able to connect directly with an institution that is rooted in the same ancient practices."
