Testament

Hoc opus dedicatum est animae rationali mundi.

You are challenged to pry wisdom from the alchemical Tao, to wake from the dream while still holding the impossible object, to snag the UFO in a fishing net. Through the arts of good thinking, good sense, and good taste, such things are as attainable as your living breath.

Flammarion Engraving
A missionary of the Middle Ages
tells that he had found the point
where the sky and the Earth touch...

What happens here?

Esoterica

If you want a teacher, try a waterfall or a mushroom or a mountain wilderness or a storm-pounded seashore. This is where the action is. It's not back in the hive; it's not in the anthill.

- Terence McKenna

Give me alchemy, give me wizardry
Give me sorcery, thermatology
Electricity, magic if you please
Master all of these, bring him to his knees
I master five magics
- Dave Mustaine

The Enchanter Merlin
The Enchanter Merlin
Howard Pyle (1903)

The Wizard is one who understands the way of the world. The wizard relates with nature, knowledge, and music. The wizard is a student of life. He writes. He studies. He is not concerned with worldly trifles, but with the essence of space and time. The wizard knows himself. The wizard has gone. The wizard has seen for himself. The wizard has seen the past and the future.
