 | A Synthesis of Alchemy |
|
|
| The ancient authors who understood this divine Art veiled spiritual truths using chemical terminology and chemical truths using theological references, so that without the master key of correspondence, ‘as above, so below,’ it is difficult to know where to begin. There are secrets on both sides of the equation... |

 | The Metaphor of the Widow |
|
|
| The material body (physical form) in the esoteric interpretation is the Widow, whose children are the spirits of the men that live in it. In the solar (or dry) way they look for the reunification with the Spirit of the Monad (the inner God, Son or reflection of the greater God) and with it the restoration of the ‘primitive state’. |

 | The Do and the Way of the Warrior |
|
|
| ...I often think that the Way (the Do) coincides with what you call the ‘Path that leads man from the emotional Chaos of passions to the quiet and detached wisdom of the inner order’?... |

| Freemasonry and the Theosophical Society |
|
|
| …in an article appeared on the Masonic magazine Officinae (n. 4/11) titled ‘Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society’, the author sings the praises of the well known counter-initiatory association…don’t you agree with me in thinking that it goes a bit too far? M. |

 | Manifesto of the Theosophical Society |
|
|
| The Theosophical Society was founded in New York on 17th November 1875 by H. P. Blavatsky and H. S. Olcott; it became a nonprofit corporation in Madras on 3rd April 1905. It lacks any sectarian spirit and it is made of people who look for the truth, who try and serve the spiritual life of the humankind and, for this purpose, they make an effort to stop materialism and make spiritual aspiration re-live. |

| Men and Women in Freemasonry |
|
|
| … I think that Freemasonry as we know it and practice it today, organized in lodges and communions, it’s a product of the English eighteenth century, valid for the time and social classes that practiced it. Is the same structure valid for the twenty-first century man? ...I don’t consider a female Freemasonry impossible, although I don’t think that our rituals are suitable for a female group and should probably be ‘revisited’,…I think that certain symbols and instruments are more appropriate for men than women, but perhaps this opinion can be a prejudice resulting from thirty years of activity in a male Freemasonry. Nevertheless I am quite perplexed about a mixed Freemasonry.... |

| Genesis and evolution of the theosophical current in the European culture |
|
|
| Theosophy has often been associated with the almost homonym Theosophical Society of Madame Blavatsky, H. S. Olcott and Besant. Contrary to popular belief, though, theosophy is a current of the European esotericism that originated from Paracelsianism; it developed mainly, but not only, in Germanic countries. Although theosophists elaborated heterogeneous and varied systems, they shared some benchmarks. In this article the author intends to present the development of Christian theosophy at the debut of the T. S. |

| False transmutation |
|
|
| The ‘bad masters’ are the ‘fake initiates’ which we must recognize in order to avoid them. The difference between a ‘piper’ and an initiate is the same between illusion, dream and reality. But the followers of the ‘pipers’ are not always victims. Certainly some of them can’t distinguish between true and false; it is also true that many people don’t want to see this distinction. |

| Guenon, bishop of the Gnostic church |
|
|
| I will quote hereafter some extracts from an article written by a Giuseppe Cosco, which has been submitted to me as a ‘condemnation’ (!) and which I will use as a starting point to express some thoughts on the figure of René Guenon. |
