One finding in The Alchemical Solfeggio is the repetitive recurrence of 4s and 5s. The central idea here is that the Circle of 5ths is really a spiral of ascending 5ths and descending 4ths. From this foundation, a new 9-centered reality is built in parallel to that of the octave of 3 and 6. This is the…

What’s in a name?
Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet isn’t so much about two kids in love as it’s about property law. No, seriously. The video explains more.

Mistranslations of Shakespeare have caused readers to miss his encoded secrets for centuries. We’ve especially missed those secrets regarding music and alchemy. Many of Shakespeare’s plays depict human relationships, courtship behaviors, and attempts to bond and incorporate, as metaphors of soil metallurgy. Hortensio, the failed suitor of Bianca in “The Taming of the Shrew,” stands…
A presidential sonnet
Again the civil pendulums en vogueHave swung to presidential pole extremes.And half the population calls him rogue;And half the population posts his memes. But breaking bad is never solved by halves:A four-years’ blue then four more years of red.Corruption simply seeks the muscled calvesOf legs these roads will endlessly retread. Refuse the cycle, stop the…
Reverse alchemy
[This article is also available as a video.] People who experience near death often report back that they’re told, on the other side, that our purpose here on Earth is to love, or failing that, to learn to love, and that one method for learning to love is to realize that we’re all connected, that we’re all one. In…
Cupid’s Tartarian Arrow
On the Fifth Day of The Chymical Wedding, Christian Rosenkreutz is led by his page to explore the King’s Treasury in the dungeon of the castle. There he sees what I call the “sepulcher of symbolism,” Lady Venus, and her son, Cupid. In the margin of the text it reads, “Thalamus Veneris Sepultae,” which translates to…
The Nogier Frequencies
The frequency of 37 Hz produces all the triple-digit frequencies (shown above), but its inverse, 73 Hz, is also fascinating. Dr. Paul Nogier (1908-1996) was a neurologist in Lyons, France who developed what are known as the Nogier Frequencies, based on 73 Hz. His son, Dr. Raphaël Nogier, has expanded his father’s research into a…
Francis Bacon’s pound of flesh
At the time of Shakespeare, the world mostly operated under an economic system known as mercantilism, in which more value was placed on gold (as money) than on commodities or merchandise. This belief caused mercantilists to further believe their wealth was their money, an idea Adam Smith would eventually refute in Wealth of Nations. But that’s getting ahead…
Harmonics and the conch shell
A popular internet meme loosely compares the sine waves of harmonic frequencies with the physical structure of a conch shell. I say “loosely” because if you really study the two images, you can see that there’s not a direct correlation. Still, there’s an intriguing similarity here that I wanted to explore. And because I couldn’t…
