Purpose of this Site I have, for one reason or another, over the years, had cause to put my thoughts in paper concerning various matters connected with the western hermetic tradition. Most of this material focused on laboratory alchemy, esoteric psychology, and hermetic initiation, as these have been in the past, and still are, the areas I am most active in. Some of the writings I produced before coming online formed the basis of my first website (the garret mark 1), and I added to that base over the years, and continue to, when necessity or the mood move me. So a good amount of the material here is mine, that which comes from other authors is labelled as so.

Disclaimer: I make no apologies for my view of hermeticism, and have no interest in hearing from individuals who strongly oppose my opinions.

Notices: Things that might be of interest to you.
