A command, a plea, a path laid bare for those who dare to walk it. To , to disintegrate, only to coalesce once more, transformed. What does it mean to break apart, to scatter like stars across the cosmos, only to find unity once again? Is not the journey of the soul, the eternal quest for meaning, mirrored in the ceaseless rhythms of nature herself?
| Solve et coagula
So say the alchemists.
This formula, whispered through the ages, seems to represent the transformation of the deepest mysteries of life into answers. It seems to be a very simple answer. The oak leaf that crumbles to dust from the winter snow holds within it the promise of rebirth. The stars exploding in the velvet sky scatter the seeds of new worlds. As mere travellers in this vast universe, we are no different.
What does the hold?
In this age of technological advancement, can we not draw inspiration from the alchemist's unwavering faith?
Is it possible that the key to our survival and evolution lies in the natural cycles that surround us?
Solve et coagula is a guiding for a new age in which humanity, scattered across the universe, finds a way to come together once more, not just as scattered individuals, but as an enlightened and transformed whole.
From carving lunar phases into animal bones in 15,000 BC to waiting for the planets to rise at the same time as the Sun to ensure the survival of our crops, we have relied on the stars as an unchanging guide throughout the rise and fall of civilizations.
Humanity has always had a deep connection with the . This celestial compass has guided us through the vicissitudes of life on Earth with unwavering certainty. Today, we are reminded of our place within a greater cosmic plan, a journey through the in which every being and every star that interacts with the four elements plays an integral role. This connection, which goes beyond observation, showed the symbiotic relationship between the celestial cycles and all the energy sources and celestial cycles in our lives, in our rituals and in all the energy sources we nourish. Some of us have seen it, some of us have not. Some of us are still trying to see it.

Sacred geography contains symbols that connect the Great Mind, sometimes the stage of objective consciousness and you. The Symbols aim to bring the process of disintegration and reconstitution into an acceptable whole (see ver: solve et coagula) to its . The end of this process is the free circulation of energy.
The Anemone Coronaria is the free flow of energy.
With its shades and delicate petals, it blooms according to the signs of the Sun and Moon, a living proof of the ancient dialogue between heaven and earth. The flowering period is from February to May, the transition from the intuitive and sensitive waters of Pisces to the dynamic and pioneering fire of Aries. This period heralds a time of profound renewal and rebirth as we move from the end of one zodiacal cycle to the beginning of another.
When the crowned cornflower was mythologised with Adonis as the little other, it became a symbol of love, beauty and the circle of life. An object of desire for Persephone and Aphrodite, Adonis preferred the earth to the underworld. As a result of this preference, he was severely wounded in an action organised by Ares, a wild boar attack. Aphrodite, who ran to the dying Adonis, first mixed his blood with her tears and then moistened the ground. It was here that the crowned cornflower first showed its fragmented leaves, engraving in our reptilian brains, like a tradition, that life is made up of temporary pleasures as well as beautiful ones. Anemone transforms the act of flowering into a display of courage and determination. By recognizing our place in the universal life and consciously cooperating with it, we can understand the purpose and meaning of our existence, much like the Aries represents the delicate balance between the end and the beginning.
The mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms all unconsciously harmonize with the . Only humans have the privilege of consciously cooperating with this cycle.
Anemone coronaria while exploring its narrative of arising from love and loss, we are reminded of the cyclical patterns woven not only through ancient myths but also throughout the natural world. The pure, clean and clear waters of this life reflect the timeless understanding that life in all its forms is a tapestry of interconnected cycles and stories, each with its own lessons about love, sacrifice and rebirth.
In the embrace of these cycles, nature reveals its most precious secrets, sometimes hidden in the most unexpected of places. It beckons us to look closer, to understand the deeper connections that bind us to the earth and to each other.
One end of this bond is located deep in the blue. It's not just its size that makes this being special – it also holds some pretty precious secrets. It represents the mystery and danger of nature and used to play an important role in exploration, passion and the search for beauty. Its story shows how far humanity can go in its search for the extraordinary and highlights the fine line between miracle and tragedy. The founders of are hidden in this being. It offers both a warning and a miracle, maintaining the threshold between the known and the unknown. Perhaps you have already encountered it and come back from the edge of an epiphany.
