📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: The Enigmatic Symbolism of the Fool and the All-Mother in Ancient Wisdom 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:03:00+03:00 📄 Summary: Delving into the arcane allegory drawn from the Hebrew fable brought from Babylon, the tale of Nebuchadnezzar’s seven-year exile reveals profound philosophical symbolism. The Ox, emblematic of the letter Aleph and the Atu of Thoth, embodies zero—the genesis of truth and cosmic order referenced as Maat or Maut, the vulture, the All-Mother archetype resembling Our Lady Nuit. Simultaneously, this symbol metamorphoses into the Fool, Parsifal, the eternal seeker. This fusion of myth and mysticism points to the cyclical journey of wisdom, from oblivion back to enlightenment, inviting us to ponder the thresholds between madness, truth, and the sacred feminine. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: On the Imperfection of Thought and the Limits of Contradiction 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:00:00+03:00 📄 Summary: In a contemplative exploration, this discourse reflects upon the inherent limitations of human thought when framed within dualities such as health and sickness. It asserts that thought, being imperfect in its dimensions, cannot encapsulate the totality of existence by contrasting simple opposites. The Universe, as represented in discourse, remains partial and must be understood beyond mere binary qualities. This philosophical meditation invites us to reconsider the nature of understanding, urging a deeper appreciation of the complexity beyond contradictions. 🔗

Conclusio De Hoc Modo Sanctitatis 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:00:00+03:00 📄 Summary: This profound treatise reflects on the fundamental nature of opposites perceived by the senses and the mind. It contends that sensory impressions—light versus dark, long versus short—are inherently paired with their opposites, extending also to emotional states such as love and hate, or truth and falsehood. Yet, it is in the most intense oppositions that illusion thrives, the mind ensnared by the binding relations that define their conflict. The discourse gestures towards the contemplation of sanctity as transcending such dualities, inviting the seeker to discern beyond the veil of antagonism. 🔗

📰 To Read... 🔖 Title: Arthur Calder-Marshall: A Literary Life Intertwined with the Arcane and Avant-garde 🗓️ Published: 2025-07-03T16:02:15+03:00 📄 Summary: Arthur Calder-Marshall, a figure whose life spanned much of the 20th century, emerges not merely as a writer but as a conduit to the esoteric and bohemian spheres of his era. His connections with luminaries such as Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuburg, along with references to the evocative Abbey of Thelema at Cefalù, paint a portrait of a man deeply enmeshed in the fringes of mysticism and literary exploration. Calder-Marshall’s reflections, particularly in works like *The Magic of My Youth*, invite us into a dialogue between the conventional and the occult, a liminal space where art, biography, and the arcane intermingle. This duality enriches our understanding of his contributions, reminding us that literature often thrives at the crossroads of reality and myth. 🔗

An agnostic and Tolstoyan, a vegetarian and a mystic, Neuburg sought to articulate his intricate worldview through symbols such as the green star of Esperanto, despite not mastering the language.

His legacy invites us to contemplate the multifaceted nature of belief and the ever-elusive search for meaning in a fragmented world. 🔗
