A nice guy and a great champion of Western Esotericism as an academic discipline who left us far too young.

"We are creating the first full transcript and translation of Clavis Artis, brought into direct dialogue with the richly illustrated Trieste manuscript.

The goal is to illuminate how both versions interact — text and image revealing different layers of meaning in the alchemical process."

"All things were believable back then – wizards, alchemy, fairies, angels. This is the story of those magical times. A lyrical and highly atmospheric exploration of the lives of Tudor and Renaissance magicians, men from Dee to Kepler to Bruno, who were also scientists, astrologers, mathematicians and alchemists. Their studies, books and ideas still permeate scientific history, as well as literature and film from Philip Pullman to CS Lewis."

"As Above, So Below is a 2014 American horror film[6] written and directed by John Erick Dowdle from a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother Drew. The film stars Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, François Civil, Marion Lambert, and Ali Marhyar. The title refers to the popular paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet. The film is presented as found footage of a documentary crew's experience exploring the Catacombs of Paris in search of the philosopher's stone, only to be confronted by supernatural forces hidden deep beneath the city. It was loosely based on the nine circles of Hell from Dante Alighieri's epic 14th-century poem Divine Comedy. It was the first film to get permission to shoot in the real Catacombs of Paris."

"In July 1936, economist John Maynard Keynes returned from Sotheby’s auction house in London with a chest full of unpublished hand-written papers, laboratory books, diagrams and over a million unpublished words by Sir Isaac Newton. Contrary to expectations, Newton’s hitherto unseen papers did not illustrate his musings on celestial mechanics, calculus, optics or mathematical theory, but his personal work on esoteric theology and his alchemical laboratory notes. While Isaac Newton was regarded a towering sentinel of the scientific method on a global platform, he was secretly a deeply mystical, magical and animistic thinker."

"Alchemical texts often use elaborate extended allegories as a means of communicating key philosophical points, or to illustrate a particular alchemical process. In these allegorical texts a figure, with which the reader is supposed to identify, goes on an journey in search of wisdom or understanding of the mysteries of alchemy. There this figure meets various archetypal characters, kings, queens, various alchemical birds and animals, and witnesses a process of transformation. This parallels the use of series of symbolic illustrations in various alchemical books and manuscripts-these allegories are in essence the working out in text of similar alchemical ideas and processes as are found in the sequences of emblematic symbols."
