Kim Krans's NEW YORK TIMES bestseller THE WILD UNKNOWN TAROT (375K
copies sold) launched a culture-shifting brand that redefined tarot
for the twenty-first century. Now comes Krans's next deck in her
bestselling series, THE WILD UNKNOWN ALCHEMY DECK AND GUIDEBOOK.
This stunning oracle deck reveals insights into the ancient
mysteries of alchemy: the metaphorical process of turning lead
(unconsciousness) into gold (enlightenment). Alchemy is the doorway
to the imagination and self-discovery. You do not need to be an
expert in metals, symbols, astrology, or Latin to become an
alchemist. Whether a baker, mechanic, surgeon, seamstress, or
surfer-those who become masters of their materials are all
alchemists. The magic of Alchemy is available to anyone who is
willing to explore, observe, and invoke transformation. Paired with
a 224-page, hand-lettered, fully illustrated guidebook written and
designed by Kim Krans, THE WILD UNKNOWN ALCHEMY DECK includes 71
beautiful, easy-to-shuffle hexagon cards divided into six suits:
The Cosmic Forces, The Colors, The Seasons, The Materials, The
Mysteries, and The Operations. Illustrated in Krans's iconic style
of elegant line art and lush watercolor painting, each full-color
card offers a tool for self-study and exploration, expressed
through symbol, image, and language. The unique shape of the cards
allows edges to meet and images to meld and transform, with all-new
connecting spreads, including readings for revealing energetic and
emotional blockages, identifying what is serving and what is
draining, and much more. Through this profound experience of
observing image, color, and materials with an alchemical
perspective, new gifts and discoveries are revealed. This deck is a
journey to awakening and reuniting us with what may be dormant or
unseen as we begin to weave together the physical and mystical
aspects of our lives.
The code of the universe is within this book. Strange passages all
arranged into books and verses as in the bible. Immortals Bible,

Antoine Fabre d'Olivet (December 8, 1767-March 25, 1825) was a
French author, poet, and composer whose biblical and philosophical
hermeneutics in?uenced many occultists, such as Eliphas Lvi and
Gerard Encausse (Papus), and Ren Gunon. D'Olivet spent his life
pursuing the esoteric wisdom concealed in the Hebrew scriptures,
Greek philosophy, and the symbolism of many ancient cultures as far
back as ancient India, Persia, and Egypt. His writings are
considered classics of the Hermetic tradition. His best known works
today are his research on the Hebrew language (The Hebraic Tongue
Restored), his translation and interpretation of the writings of
Pythagoras (The Golden Verses of Pythagoras), and his writings on
the sacred art of music. In addition to the above two books and the
present one, Hermetica has also published in consistent facsimile
format for its Collected Works of Fabre d'Olivet series Cain and
The Healing of Rodolphe Grivel. D'Olivet's interest in Pythagoras
started a revival of Neo-Pythagoreanism that would later in?uence
many occultists and new age esotericists. His mastery of many
ancient languages and their literatures enabled him to write (in
the time of Napoleon) his Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin
of the Social State of Man and the Destiny of the Adamic Race,
which remains a landmark investigation of the deeper esoteric
undercurrents at work in the history of culture. A selection of

On December 11, 2009, Author William Moreira embarked upon a South
American cruise aboard the "Costa Concordia." In the wee hours of
that first sleepless night, as the cruiser steamed for its first
port of call, he decided to take a stroll along the ship's top
deck. There was no moon, and the dark ocean and sky met and fused
into one. The only demarcation between heaven and hell was the
glistening light of the infinite galaxies and stars. Suddenly,
filled with an incredible feeling of inspiration, Moreira put pen
to paper, words exploding onto the page. He wrote and wrote, not
stopping until a burst of morning sunshine climbed over the horizon
to announce the arrival of a new day of God's great creation. Over
the course of seven similar nights, "God The Realities of the
Creator" was born.This labor of love, inspired by the great canvas
known as the universe, explores the deep theological and
philosophical questions that reside deep within our hearts: Who is
God? What is God? How did the Universe come to be?Moreira weaves
his answers into a larger tapestry of personal stories and
anecdotes, making "God The Realities of the Creator" both engaging
and relatable. He concludes by offering an eleventh commandment to
deal with complexities of a changing world.
A long time ago, back in the 1960s, a close friend asked me to
go along with him to a book signing in Sausalito, California. I was
introduced to the author. He was a recognizable and quite famous
old man. As a portrait artist, I looked closely at the bright blue
eyes of a once-handsome man. He said, "Will you come and visit me
in San Francisco sometime?" "Yes, I will," I replied and didn't
think much about it. But within a few weeks my friend was asked by
the old author to visit, and I was asked to go along. We arrived
that morning to a sunny, tiny apartment. We greeted the old man,
and he ushered us in. His apartment walls were covered with
newspaper clippings, neatly framed. There was not a bare spot among
all the signed photos of famous movie stars of days gone by.
Evidently he had been very well known in the movie world too. He
sat us down for a cup of tea. Then he turned to me and said, "Can I
tell you things of your life? Experiences you've had and didn't
have and your destiny. I will record it and put it on reel to reel
for you." "Of course," I said, as I was very curious of what he
might know about me. And so he talked about me and was very
accurate. Then he took my hand and moved closer to me, close to my
face. He said, "You have something to tell the world, the entire
world. I don't know what it is, but it is the entire world." But
all was forgotten for more than fifty years. A few weeks ago,
Michael and I were talking about the old man. What if this was all
destined--Michael's gift of seeing in the spirit as Kirilian
afterimage? My search for healing and search for God? Were we
destined to be together? So we decided to ask "Was the old man
right? Was I destined to write this book and tell what has been
revealed?" Michael touched my head and the touch revealed, YES. I
asked out loud, "Who is the book for?" The touch revealed, THOSE
WHO SEEK AND LOVE GOD, THE LOST WHO NEED HELP. "Is Michael a
prophet?" we asked. NO. "What is Michael? What is this ability he
has?" we asked. The touch revealed, UNIQUE. And so each day, as I
study scripture, I ask the questions, some about the future. There
are some unanswered questions. The Lord Jesus gave these statements
without my questioning: HEALING OF THE WOUNDED SPIRIT. SEVERE
NUCLEAR ACCIDENT INDIA. LEARN SEED PROPAGATION. PREPARE. MY RETURN.
REJOICE. The material from the touch is growing into the next book.
The next book will probably be easier to write.

The universe has direction, we ourselves have direction. There is
meaning in the movement, intrinsic value in the embrace. As Emerson
put it, we lie in the lap of immense intelligence, which by any
other name is Spirit. There is a theme inscribed on the original
face of the Kosmos. There is a pattern written on the wall of
Nothingness. There is a meaning in its very gesture, a grace in it
s every glance. We-and all beings as such-are drenched in this
meaning, afloat in a current of care and profound value, intimate
significance, intrinsic awareness. We are part and parcel of this
immense intelligence, this Spirit-in-action, this
God-in-the-making. We don't have to think of God as some mystic
figure outside of the display, running the show. Nor must we
picture it as some merely immanent Goddess, lost in the forms of
her own production. Evolution is both God and Goddess, transcendent
and immanence. It is immanent in the process itself, woven into the
very fabric of the kosmos: but it everywhere transcends it own
productions, and brings forth anew in every moment. We are invited,
I believe, to awaken as this process. The very Spirit in us is
invited to become self-conscious, or even, as some would say,
superconscious. Depth increases from subconscious to self-conscious
to superconscious, on the way to it own shocking recognition,
utterly one with the radiant All, and we awaken as that oneness.
Maybe the evolutionary sequence really is from matter to body to
mind to soul to spirit, each transcending and including, each with
a greater depth and greater consciousness and wider embrace. And in
the highest reaches of evolution, maybe, just maybe, an
individual's consciousness does indeed touch infinity-a total
embrace of the entire Kosmos-a Kosmic consciousness that is Spirit
awakened to its own true nature. I think the sages are the growing
tip of the secret impulse of evolution. I think they are the
leading edge of the self-transcending drive that always goes beyond
what went before. I think they embody the very drive of the Kosmos
toward greater depth and expanding consciousness. I think they are
riding the edge of a light beam racing toward a rendezvous with
God. And I think they point to the same depth in you, and in me and
the all of us. I think they are plugged into the All, and the
Kosmos sings through their voices, and Spirit shines through their
eyes. And I think they disclose the face of tomorrow, they open us
to the heart of our own destiny, which is also already right now in
the timelessness of this very moment, and in that starling
recognition the voice of the sages becomes your voice, and eyes of
the sage becomes your eyes, your speak with tongues of angles and
are alight with fire of the realization that never dawns or ceases,
you recognize your one true face in the mirror of the kosmos
itself: your identity is indeed the All, and your are no longer
part of the that stream, your are that stream, with the All
unfolding not around you but in your. The stars no longer shine our
there, but in here. Supernovas come into being within your heart,
and the sun shines inside your awareness. Because you transcend
all, you embrace all. There is not final Whole here, only an
endless process, and you are the opening or the clearing or the
pure Emptiness in which the entire process unfolds-ceaselessly,
miraculously, everlastingly, lightly. The whole game is undone,
this nightmare of evolution, and you are exactly where you were
prior to the beginning of the whole show. With a sudden shock of
the utterly obvious, you recognize your own Original Face, the face
you had prior to the Big Bang, the face of utter Emptiness that
smiles as all creation and sings the entire Kosmos-and it is all
undone in that primal glance, and all that is left is the smile,
and the reflection of the moon on a quiet pond, late on a crystal
clear night. (Ken Wilber, 1996. A Brief History of Everything, p.
42)
