The entry of Mercury into Scorpio marks a decisive moment in the sky’s silent liturgy. After the pale equilibrium of Libra, where Mercury performed its subtle movemente at the gates of the Descendant, the god of mediation and ambiguity now plunges into the deep water of Scorpio. The passage from cardinal air to fixed water…
The number 666 has been feared, condemned, and distorted, but its origin can be found in the Sacred arithmetic of Light. Long before it was cast into shadow, ancient magi recognised it as the numerical body of the Sun. When the numbers from one to thirty-six are summed, they yield six hundred and sixty-six, forming…
The element of fire is the paradox of sanctity. It consumes and preserves. It devours matter but defends the Spirit. When someone sets fire to their own house, or when a nation burns its own capital, the act transcends the rational field of strategy. It becomes a rite of interior protection. In these gestures, the…
Resh ר is a radiant sigil of awakening. It is the twentieth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and the one that corresponds to The Sun in the Tarot; the same card where a child stands beneath the living orb, naked and free, facing the brilliance without fear. Resh contains the same message in sight and…

The Lot of Spirit is seen as a place of fire, a secret measure traced between Sun and Moon, where the intelligence of light crosses into the vessel of the soul. It is not the same as the Lot of Fortune, one that speaks of chance, body, and survival. Spirit points toward intent, command, and…
The Scriptures often speak of the place where there will be weeping and the grinding of teeth. The phrase has haunted generations of readers because it touches the border between body and soul. It is much more than a mark of pain; it is a description of what happens when language collapses. The human mouth,…
Today, September 29, the Catholic Church honours Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. This year the feast coincides with a Monday, a day under the Moon, consecrated to Mary and marked by the voice of Gabriel. The coincidence draws the memory of the angels into the rhythm of the week; it is as if the lunar and…
The first pages of Genesis contain a rift that will echo through the whole of Scripture and the secret traditions born around it.
