This precious engraving, dear readers, is a call that this Slovenian Adept has made to all seekers who continue to pretend that the Golden Fleece is a material object, forgetting that it refers to that most sacred part that we call in Gnosis the intimate Christ.

“Elapsvm tempvs et occasionem inseqvvntur, non asseqvvntvr” (Time fled and opportunity is pursued but not attained)
This ninth engraving describes the desperate situation of those who realize they have missed the right opportunity: ELAPSVM TEMPVS ET OCCASIONEM INSEQVVNTUR, NON ASSEQVVNTVR, ‘Fleeing time and opportunity are pursued but not reached/attained’.
“Dvm tempvs labitvr, occasionem frente capillatam remorantvr” (While time flees, they retain, apparently, the long-haired opportunity)
This engraving clearly speaks to us of the imperative need to seize the opportunity ─Occasio─ and retain it in order to take advantage of it, as the engraving shows us. Young people represent humanity in general when they become ─at least temporarily─ aware of knowing how to steal from time the opportunities that sometimes appear in the course of it.
“Tempvs et occasio sva explicant mvnia” (Time and opportunity declare their duties, Theodoor Galle)
V.M. Samael always insisted on the need to break with the implacable destiny that always leads us to stupidly comply with the mechanicity with which we are manipulated from existence to existence. This struggle is posed in the so-called Revolution of Consciousness, with its three factors that are well-defined in our doctrine…
“Specvluvm creatvrarum” (Mirror of Creatures)
This engraving was made by the Jesuit Ioanne David (1546─1613) and he developed it in the eighth chapter of his book entitled Dvodecim specvla Devm aliqvando videre desideranti concinnata.
“Specvlvm pvrgativm” (Mirror of Purification)
Dear readers, this engraving leads us to question our degrees of purity or purification during our journey through the three-dimensional world:
“Specvlvm pvrgativm”, Mirror of Purification
I am sending you the sixth drawing with which Theodor Galle illustrated the book ‘Twelve mirrors duly arranged for the person who wishes to see God one day’, written by the Jesuit Ioanne David.
The present engraving is entitled “Know thyself”.
“Specvlvm fallax” (The mirror that deceives)
I take the pen to send you some comments related to the profound importance of approaching the TECHNIQUE OF TRUE self-observation and our longings to live within reality and not within fantasies.
“Absconditorum a constitutiones mundi clavis” (The key to hidden things)
This engraving has a very profound significance for the scholars of Kabbalah and Alchemy, and, obviously, since we by means of Gnosis are scholars of these two sciences, it is clear that all this subject matter concerns us.
Considerationes de vulnere (Considerations regarding the pentalpha and the five wounds)
To begin trying to make a description of this very beautiful engraving, we have to remember, first of all, the man that Leonardo da Vinci drew in his time with his legs and arms open forming a Pentalpha to tell history that the REAL MAN is the Pentalpha-Man, in other words, the self-realized man.
