The picture? I'm working my way through photos of my lineage, focusing on the teachers whose work has influenced me and the teachers who influenced them in turn. I'm currently tracing my Martinist lineage. Along with Louis-Claude de St. Martin, last week's honoree, the inner circle of pupils of Martinez de Pasqually included this week's figure, Jean-Baptiste Willermoz. A very active Freemason, Willermoz played a central role in cleaning up the mess left by the implosion of the Strict Observance (the most important Templar order in 18th century Europe) and created a new order with its own rituals, the Rectified Rite, which survives to this day. Much of what became the ritual of Martinism came from Willermoz's hands.
Buy Me A Coffee
Ko-Fi
I've had several people ask about tipping me for answers here, and though I certainly don't require that I won't turn it down. You can use either of the links above to access my online tip jar; Buymeacoffee is good for small tips, Ko-Fi is better for larger ones. (I used to use PayPal but they developed an allergy to free speech, so I've developed an allergy to them.) If you're interested in political and economic astrology, or simply prefer to use a subscription service to support your favorite authors, you can find my Patreon page here and my SubscribeStar page here.

And don't forget to look up your Pangalactic New Age Soul Signature at CosmicOom.com.
With that said, have at it!

Date: 2023-08-07 04:39 am (UTC)I'm interested in making a gold Fluid Condenser - I've noticed that the method for producing a a Fluid Condenser in Circles of Power differs somewhat from the one in Natural Magic and in Franz Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics. The "classic" way seems to be heating the gold until it's red hot and then flinging it into a cup of distilled water several times. The method in Circles of Power seems much more straightforward - putting the gold and the cup of water in a glass saucepan and then bringing it to a boil several times.
From experience, does the product of these methods differ in any significant way? The Circles of Power method certainly appeals to me as it seems to be much easier with less chance for contamination with soot.
Kind regards,
Eric R
