Monday, a day ruled by the Moon’s quiet governance and guarded by Gabriel, the Archangel of waters who speaks in dreams. The tides within and without rest under His care, and today the Moon leans into the mutable waters of Pisces after her watch in Aquarius. The full Moon has passed, but its silver still…
Heightened sensations hold the same cold shine as metals drawn from deep earth by a craftsman who claims himself sovereign. The ancients named him Demiurge when his geometry bound the soul into walls and markets; his craft builds streets with edges that never bend, corners that collect shadows where breath feels absent, and towers whose…
Elimas is a magus whose craft is woven from the fibres of the planetary loom. The text names him Bar-Jesus, son of a name already luminous with Messianic weight, but his service bends away from the straight path. When Paul and Barnabas arrive, drawn by the hunger of the governor for truth, Elimas moves to…
The vision that sealed Dominic in the church of Prouille carries a depth far beyond the chronicles of a medieval apparition. In the woven light of that sanctuary, the Virgin’s hand extended a circle of beads, each one a seed of the Word, strung together like constellations bound to the axis of heaven. This was…
In the gold-leafed stillness of a Byzantine icon, the figure of Christ stands at the very doorway of Mystery. He is Magus near the mouth of Lazarus’ tomb, poised between the world of the living and the realm of the sealed stone. In this gesture, the miracle at Bethany unfolds with a grandeur that defies…

Tradition whispers that the seventh completes and the eighth ruptures; the septenary cycle of planets and powers closes its ring, only to open a…
“To the seven churches in Asia… and from the seven Spirits before His throne.” (Revelation 1) I. The Lampstands and the Veil of the Rose In the pale chamber of Revelation, the number seven emerges as the iron structure and subtle perfume of the entire vision. It rises as the geometry through which the Divine…
The altar is never without a tremor, never entirely silent; the one who keeps vigil soon discovers that, beneath the veneer of domestic order, lies a wilderness of ancient voices, children weeping in the dark, the echo of footfalls at the threshold where the known surrenders to the feral. Under the gaze of the lunar…
At the doorway of Assiah, beneath the weight of matter rendered Holy, stands the Ace of Pentacles: a radiant emblem whose secret name is Kether clothed in earth. Within the Tarot, this single coin of gold descends silently from a realm veiled by luminosity into a landscape deeply tangible, bearing within its silent descent the…
