Composed in Middle French, and preserved in an eighteenth-century manuscript which strongly influenced Fulcanelli, The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum presents itself with a singular purpose: to unlock the symbolic philosophy of the Emerald Tablet in order to provide the foundations of alchemical practice.
Previously unknown apart from some captivating citations from Fulcanelli, this mysterious text recently surfaced among the manuscripts of the Gallatins, a family of Swiss provenance who rose to prominence among the founding fathers of the United States of America. Originating specifically from the personal collection of Albert H. Gallatin-a professor of chemistry, geology, and mineralogy who devoted himself to the study of ancient langauges in order to understand alchemical texts-this manuscript is of singular interest to scholars of religion, historians of science, and practitioners of the royal art.
Translated into English for the very first time, The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum (La Clef du Cabinet Herm tique) appears here in a dual-language edition featuring a carefully prepared edition of the French text alongside a clear English translation. This copiously annotated volume comes with an introduction exploring the figure of Gallatin and his possible connections to Fulcanelli-one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic alchemists-together with an appendix clarifying the relationship of this work to other texts known under similar names.

Описание: When Christer Bergstrom published the first English edition of his ground-breaking mammoth work The Ardennes 1944-1945: Hitlers Winter Offensive in 2014, it hit the World War II community with the impact of an earthquake. Based upon tremendous research into primary sources and interviews with very many of the veterans, this book turned the previous image of the Battle of the Bulge completely upside-down. Although tearing apart many myths that surrounded this battle it has hardly received any negative criticism with such scrutiny has the author treated the sources and source references. This book has been called the new main reference work on the battle. It still remains at the very edge of historical research on this epic battle. Especially the veterans from the Battle of the Bulge have praised the work as completely outstanding. The new Volume II deals with various turning points in the battle: First the failure of SS-Kampfgruppe Peiper, the Allied Air Forces severing of the German supply lines around Christmas, and Pattons counter-offensive. Next, the bitter defeat sustained by Pattons Third U.S. Army in the tank battle at Bastogne, and several other German victories in tank battles that have previously been covered up in history writing, how the Luftwaffe actually gained air superiority, and the German offensive restarted in January 1945. Although the bloody battles in January 1945 cost both sides higher losses per day than in December 1944, they have been neglected in previous history writing. Here they are described in detail. The reason why the Ardennes Offensive failed is discussed, as are its quite significant repercussions.
In Victorian London, long before the term serial killer was coined, two series of murders played out that have captured the imagination of the whole world. The Jack the Ripper murders and the Thames Torso murders, so similar to each other, took place during the same period in London and have never been solved.
In this book, journalist and researcher Christer Holmgren explains why the murders were never cleared up and names the East End carman Charles Lechmere as the culprit behind both series of murders. He was a man who claimed he found Jack the Ripper's first victim, but avoided to give his true name to the police.
In the 2014 TV documentary The Missing Evidence -- Jack the Ripper, the case for Charles Lechmere as the Ripper was outlined. In it, a prominent barrister stated that the case would have been good enough to take to court. This makes Lechmere stand out amongst the many suspects named over the years: his is a case where it can be practically demonstrated how he is linked to the murders.
More recent research suggests that Charles Lechmere also needs to be held responsible for the Thames Torso murder series, spanning the years 1873-1889. Guided by the help of experts, Holmgren links the cases together, establishes the underlying inspiration behind them, and beckons the originator of the murders out into the light, a century after his death

I do not consider myself a religious person. After my husband passed away, my world as I had known it changed. Dealing with death has never been easy for me, be it a family member or friend. A love one dies, the end. Some will have you believe that, I don't. I have experienced wonders that have only improved my world. Some will say it's not possible, I smile because I know different. I have written this journal to let others know that in fact, it is not the end. If you believe and have faith anything is possible. I do not claim to understand what is happening and maybe never will but that is the wonder of it all. I thought at some point things would stop, but to my surprise they continue and I am very grateful that they do. So, ask yourself why do some use the phrase "cross-over"? Cross-over to what, another dimension, taking on another form? My husband and the angels continue to be my unseen partners, and I am having the adventure of a lifetime. Lynne Minyard-Christer lives in Arizona with her three cats. She has been many things to many people: wife, mother, friend, grocery checker, secretary, bookkeeper, divorced, retired, author and caregiver. There have been tears of joy and tears of sadness along the way--life's many adventures to deal with. Some friendships were short-lived, and a few carried through the years. She is always believing there is a story to tell. She is the author of a short little tale called Tige's Big Adventures. Tige was "our" little guy. Now she wonders what life has to offer and what adventures are in her future.
