Psalm 91 is the psalm of absolute trust, of the protective power of the Name, used since antiquity as a verbal amulet against visible and invisible evil. It appears in the final section of the fourth Book of the Psalter (Psalms 90–106), traditionally tied to Moses. It mirrors Psalm 90, which laments human frailty before…
Among the apocryphal writings that survived the silence of the centuries, few possess the dramatic depth of the Evangelium Nicodemi, also known as The Gospel of Nicodemus. Its second part, the Descensus ad Inferos, is one of the earliest Christian attempts to describe what occurred between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, the hidden hours of…
The episod of John 6:16-21 takes place immediately after the multiplication of the loaves. The disciples, without Jesus, go down to the lake of Tiberias. The wind is strong, the night falls, and the crossing becomes perilous. In the midst of the turbulent sea, Jesus appears walking upon the waters and utters Ego eimi –…
The All Souls’ Day always takes place when the Sun crosses Scorpio. The same drama repeats itself each year, with Christ-Logos descending into the black waters, and consciousness faces its own reflection in the deep. The Sun that rules the living walks for a time among the dead, and the veil between both worlds grows…

The soul moves in circles. It descends, forgets, and rises again through the long geometry of time. Every civilisation that looked at death saw this motion turning behind the veil of the world. The wheel repeats itself through Egypt, India, Greece, or the secret heart of Israel, pointing to the same transmigration. Its revolutions are…
The final lines of the Letter to the Romans contain the kiss of peace, the osculum sanctum. In the early assemblies, the faithful would exchange the kiss before the communion of bread and wine. Lips met as the sign that the same breath moved within them. The rite was simple, but its simplicity veiled a…
In the Letter to the Colossians, Paul speaks of a mystery hidden from the ages and now made manifest: Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27). I. The Fulfilment of the Body The phrase is literal, as it declares an indwelling presence, a Divine seed that must grow until it takes form in…
We are now in the season when the Sun moves through Scorpio. All Souls’ Day, and Dia de Los Muertos all mark the same threshold. Nature begins to withdraw, light fades, the days grow shorter, and roots feed on the fallen leaves. I. The Transformative Water of Scorpio Scorpio is the densest point of water.…
