The language of the ancients spoke of fate as a wheel turning without pause, grinding down lives under a law beyond appeal. The stars moved with mechanical precision; the four elements wove together the frame of the world; earth, fire, air and water bound the body to necessity. Astrological tradition carried this: each house and…
A Collective Oracle for the Novilunium in the Mercurial Sixth House If interested in a personal liturgy and reading, please consult this portal.

The mystery of Love has always carried within it a hidden wound and a hidden flame. Traditional astrology contains the Lot of Eros, drawn from the relation between Venus and Spirit. This Lot is a cipher of the soul’s capacity for desire consecrated. It reveals that Love spreads through the body, through pleasure, through the…
There exists a gate through which the Spirit engraves its signature upon flesh and mind; the Ascendant. In the soul of Carl Gustav Jung, that gate stood as a stone portal; a crystal dial, turning at the edge of the world, set beneath the watch of Saturn in the cold, lucid airs of Aquarius. The…
In the shape of S (which, if considered closed, is 8, and, lying down, is equally serpentine, infinite), the Serpent includes two spaces, which it encircles and transcends. (The first space is the lower world; the second, the higher world.) In another serpentine figuration – that of the coiled snake, mouth biting tail – it…
The ancients named the Moon the lesser luminary, but through the velvet vault of night she reigns by borrowed splendour, clothed in gold shed by the day’s sovereign.

Upon the surface of the world, the sky arranges itself as a living text, inscribed anew with every hour. There are moments in which the observer stands before the firmament and perceives a great pageant of movement; but the true order of these celestial rites is rarely grasped directly. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, in her Glossary,…
The delicate architectures that undergird the world is where the Hermetic Lots stand as silent pillars, casting their symbolic shadows across the natal firmament. Each Lot, a mathematical wound or secret, arises from the interplay of planetary bodies, mirroring the drama of necessity and pirit, fortune and fate. These points appear as discoveries, never mere…
Within the precincts of the ancient art, where the stars do not simply trace cycles but participate in the weaving of Fate, the zodiac emerges as a temple composed of twelve veils, each bearing a signature upon the soul.
