"In the field of ancient knowledge, the focus on scholars of alchemical texts has never been more intense.
As our understanding of history expands, so does the demand for astute minds who can decipher, interpret, and protect our alchemical heritage.
But let’s delve deeper: What’s truly expected from a scholar of alchemical texts?"
"What if I told you that CERN is a product of the occult what if I told you that not only is CERN a product of the occult but more specifically the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn?"

"Why is the Salvator Mundi one of the most enigmatic paintings in the world? The artwork is believed to have been painted for either King Louis XII of France or his consort, Anne of Brittany by Leonardo da Vinci in 1500. It was sold in 2017 for $450.3 million -the highest price paid for a work of art at auction to date- only to disappear from the public eye. “Salvator Mundi,” is Latin for “Savior of the World.” The painting depicts Christ in the Renaissance theme and is likely the last work by Leonardo da Vinci before his death. Leonardo's encryption in the Salvator Mundi reveals a wealth of universal wisdom linking art, philosophy, and science. The Great Pyramid and the Salvator Mundi BOTH appear to have the Philosopher’s Stone of Alchemy & Enlightenment encoded into it Mathematically & Musically."
The Cult of Beauty exhibition at the Wellcome shows more than 200 items, including the Ripley Scroll and other historical objects, as well as art, films and new commissions, encouraging visitors to think about the influence of morality, status, health, age, race and gender on how ideas about beauty have developed, and to question what we might think about that.
The exhibition runs until 28 April at the Wellcome Collection, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE. Entry is free.
