Esoteric Christian art 17th century Ripley's Alchemy Scrolls
Respecting the knowledge of Alchemists, within this dynamic orphic, hermaphrodite Universe of consciousness manifestations, we now examine the mysticism within teachings of the 16th / 17th century Ripley’s Scrolls.
Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Ripley’s Alchemical Scrolls
At the top of the Ripley’s Scrolls, a large, robed, bearded figure greets the researchers wishing to enter this magic dance of words and drawings. Identified as an Egyptian God of Healing Thoth or Hermes Trismegistus (thrice-greatest), the legendary figure of Alchemists, is the first one we meet holding an egg-shaped vase and observing seven alchemy processes, used in transformation of metals into gold.

Have you ever read Koran?
Perhaps this is not a book that you keep on the top of your reading pile, but while browsing through an old books section of my favorite bookshop I came across this most wonderful hand-woven translation with both ancient Arabic and English writings of this ancient text. Now, I am conditioned, as all of us Christians are, to „be aware“ of this book but its physical beauty went beyond my conditioning so I bought it and for the first time read it.

Tree of Life: A Journey into the Field of Dreams
A Metaphysical Historical Novel by Nataša Pantović
Tree of Life is a profound metaphysical novel by Nataša Pantović, set in the mystical and spiritually charged environment of Findhorn, UK. This novel explores the universal concept of the Tree of Life, which has been interpreted in various religious traditions and myths as a symbol of the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. It is a journey into the sacred, bridging cultures and spiritual practices across time and space.
The story weaves through the author’s own life, intertwined with the adoption journey that takes her from Serbia to Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malta, exploring the depths of human connection, love, and the profound mysteries of existence.
In this narrative, the Tree of Life symbolizes the micro and macro cosmos, highlighting how our personal journeys are reflections of the grander cosmic dance. "The subconscious material or mind (chitta) has its own 'body,'" Pantović writes, "and as we ascend the Spiral of Consciousness, we begin to understand how we relate to one another in our collective drive for Goodness."
The novel contemplates the relationship between the individual and the universe, offering a meditative exploration of how we grow, evolve, and interact with each other. It reflects on the deeper knowledge and understanding of the Self within the greater framework of Conscious Living, recognizing our connection to all sentient beings and the world around us.
Through a blend of adoption, spirituality, alchemy, and mysticism, Tree of Life invites readers to reflect on their own lives, the patterns that shape their journeys, and the universal truths that connect all humans across cultures and histories. With each page, readers are encouraged to open their hearts to the infinite possibilities of spiritual growth, universal connection, and love.
