hmmm.

I used to drive by often the building in Oceanside. My uncle called the steep road the Rosicrucian Grade like explaining direction some place. We travelled that way many times mostly to get Anitas Mexican food. best salsa in the world!

 

never went in or visited or considered anything like that at that particular time in my life.

 

San Jose?

This series of pictures was published in 1991 by Adam McLean as The Rosicrucian Emblems of Daniel Cramer in the series Magnum Opus Hermetic Sourceworks. Indeed a remarkable little book, rather reminiscent of illustrated alchemical texts.

further background;

 

"

 The common denominator of all the Cramer's emblems is a mystic heart, represented in the most different situations: chained, crowned, nailed to a cross, to the roots of a rosary, endowed with wings, undermined by the devil, and so on.

The books of emblems composed by Daniel Cramer are considered by some scholars (for example Adam McLean and Giordano Berti) as expressions of the Rosicrucian thought. Indeed, various clues suggest that Cramer was a member of the Rosicrucian brotherhood."

It is true that our heart is going through many different situations on its journey. And these pictures are showing this.

 

Thank you for this topic, Nungali. This is beautiful. :)

Ringing a bell, ringing your neck and you know you're next

because the time has come for those scarred wrists

So close to the skin it sizzles - your sputtering

safety flies on the wind, curling in smoke, drunk with dust

Circling back one last time, no, this one is safe

It's meant to be, it's a solid piece - security and locks

without any key to be found, my time is here

I've found the bastion, the last station of a toll road

where you set up shop and took all the numbers

but left them waiting in trenches - twisting in mud

And now we know why revenge is on our plate

and the service, sublime

Choking it down at last call, last call
