"Reflecting the Alchemist's Soul: Unveiling the Mysteries in 'The Mirror of Alchimy' by Roger Bacon"

In "The Mirror of Alchimy" Roger Bacon takes readers on a mesmerizing journey into the enigmatic world of alchemy, unraveling the veiled mysteries that have captivated seekers of esoteric knowledge for centuries. This seminal work, written in the late 16th century, serves as a timeless portal into the alchemical tradition, offering profound insights into the transformative processes of both the philosopher's stone and the adept's soul.

Bacon's narrative is a tapestry woven with allegorical threads, blending practical laboratory instructions with symbolic language that transcends the material realm. As the alchemist-author, Bacon speaks to readers across time, inviting them to contemplate the union of opposites, the refinement of base elements, and the pursuit of the elusive Elixir of Life.

The Mirror of Alchimy serves as a guide for those daring enough to tread the intricate labyrinth of spiritual transmutation. Bacon's prose, though rooted in the medieval context, resonates with universal themes— the quest for enlightenment, the cyclic nature of creation and destruction, and the pursuit of the divine within the earthly vessel.

At its core, this alchemical mirror reflects not only the external processes of laboratory experimentation but also the internal journey of self-discovery. Bacon intricately intertwines the art of transmutation with the science of the soul, urging the seeker to alchemize their own consciousness in tandem with their laboratory pursuits.

The brilliance of Bacon's work lies not only in its practicality but also in its poetic invocation of the alchemical quest. Each chapter unfolds like a mystical incantation, beckoning the reader to delve deeper into the alchemical opus. From the stages of calcination to coagulation, Bacon demystifies the alchemical process, making it accessible to both seasoned practitioners and those new to the alchemical tradition.

"The Mirror of Alchimy" is an illuminating testament to the enduring allure of alchemy—a profound exploration of the interconnectedness between the earthly and the celestial. As readers gaze into this alchemical mirror, they are not only confronted with the reflection of laboratory apparatus but also with the hidden recesses of their own spiritual landscape.

In a world where the pursuit of wisdom is often obscured by the mundane, Bacon's mirror serves as a timeless reminder that, like the alchemists of old, we are all engaged in the grand work of refining ourselves, transmuting the leaden aspects of our existence into the gold of inner enlightenment.

Roger Bacon's "The Mirror of Alchimy" is available in Amazon in paperback 12.99$ and hardcover 20.99$ editions.

22 Gemini June 13

Gemini 22. A painting that, once it is seen, cannot be remembered.

(Omega Symbol) Interacting/Sensitive(Degree Angel: ALADIAH (a-LA-dee-YAH) Looks Can Kill: Protection from the Evil Eye, Divine Grace)

You’re always ready to start over again, if you have to. You are able to overcome the preconditioning of the past and to look at situations once again with a fresh and unclouded vision. Other people as well as the world itself are continually attempting to compel other people how to be and act. It is your challenge to not allow these projections to subdue the expression of who you really are.

The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A young girl is sold to a sultan.” This is one of the most obviously negative of all the symbols. This does not mean that this degree is any more positive or negative in its potential than any of the others. Whenever we come across one of these negative images it represents a caution, and means that the person with this degree in their chart is aware of the brand of negativity depicted by the symbol – in this case the potential for people to be supremely selfish in their attempt to dominate others and treat them like objects.This degree is very aware of the coercive and dehumanizing elements in society, and the way that other people often take these elements for granted and as an accepted way of life. It seeks to overcome this tendency, as well as help other people to overcome it too. And, like the painting that can't be remembered in the Omega Symbol, we need to continually be returning to and looking again at this situation and keep reminding ourselves that it exists and what it looks like if we are ever to change it.

Pleiadian Symbol: Humans and many types of animals carrying out an elaborate dance.

Azoth Symbol: In a darkened room people wait silently and expectantly for a medium to speak.

Seed degree: Sagittarius 15. Prized possessions are disappearing, one by one.

(Omega Symbol). Letting go of and losing whatever we have helps us to continually see everything in a new way. A tidal wave approaching.

(Chandra Symbol). Experiencing profound inner changes that sweep away the structures by which we have always lived help us to see more clearly the needs of other people and to overcome our own selfishness.

Fulfillment degree: Capricorn 7. A guidebook to an ancient city.

(Omega Symbol). In an attempt to understand more deeply that which we have trouble taking in, we are led to explore the past in a more clear, detailed and profound manner. A satyr gazing at his reflection in a pond.

(Chandra Symbol). To comprehend and overcome the selfish aspects of ourselves and the power struggles we find ourselves in, we look more deeply into our own animal nature, so that it may be recognized for what it is and integrated more harmoniously into our being.

Gemini 22. A barn dance. Keywords: joy, happiness, dance, art, relations, love, community, self-indulgence. Richness of life in associations based on natural instincts. Warmth of simple living. Normal fulfillment of self. Celebrating the warmth and providence of the Earth. The joy of nature’s harvest. Joining others to celebrate. Rhythmical or seasonal adjustments. Dancing. Barns and dance halls.

Welcome to Tarot Island!

Autism is hard. Having special needs is hard. In the end, we all are responsible for our own self development. People with auditory and visual hallucinations, processing disorders, or active imaginations are often over medicated for lack of better therapies and understanding of the personal journey as it relates to our psychological landscape.

Many stories have been told about The Fool’s Journey. It’s the framework for just about every story told. Here, we go deeper into the structure of the journey and our psyche.

Asking, 

What is the connection between the things that plague us internally and the circumstances around us? 

Are they one in the same 

and

Do we inherit psychological complexity from the very coding of our brains at birth?

Is our mental coding really a reflection of the cosmos at the moment we took our first breath?

And what does this all show us about our rightful path on becoming our most authentic selves?

Follow our fools journey at Neon Dream Tarot as we uncover ancient secrets and scale away the protective mask naturally occurring with a neurodivergent mind. And we play games. Games are fun.

Analysis of the Numbers 3, 4, 7, 21

1. Numerical Relationships

Mathematical Connections:

3 and 4: 3 + 4 = 7 (direct sum).

3, 4, and 7: 3 × 4 = 12, and 12 + 7 = 19 (not directly 21, but sequential).

7 and 21: 7 × 3 = 21 (direct multiplication).

3 and 21: 3 × 7 = 21 (linking factor).

Theosophical Reduction (Papus):

3 = 3, 4 = 4, 7 = 7, 21 = 2 + 1 = 3 (returns to 3).

Theosophical Addition (Papus):

3: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
