good chance for you to get a sneak peek
at this weekend’s workshop and network
and socialize with our guides and teachers
for the “Alchemy of Prague” event. We are
all gathering at the famous Kelley Tower in
the foothills of Prague Castle. This is where
Edward Kelly and John Dee, the foremost
alchemists of their time, were living in
Prague and supported by King Rudolf
II. The tower has been turned into an
Alchemical Museum, originally curated by “Medicine rests upon
our dear friend Vincent Bridges. Drinks and
food are available at the famous alchemy four pillars—philosophy,
bar ‘The House of the Donkey and Cradle’. astronomy, alchemy,
Musical performances with Alaerian and

Days 2 & 3
Come find out what the “buzz” is all about. You will discover:
• All about Cannabis
• History
• Myths and misunderstandings
• Medicinal properties
• Cannabinoids
• Terpenes
• The Entourage
• The Endocannabinoid system
• Folk remedies
• Modern overview
• Delivery methods and dosages
We will make a hand cream, tincture and concentrate. Participants will master
practical skills to extract the life healing properties from this remarkable plant.
Note: there are no Psycho-active properties of the medicines, we are
producing-we are only working with the medicinal CBD aspect of this plant. Cannabidiol
(CBD) is non-psychotropic.
Spagyrics “open” medicinal plants completely to release powerful healing properties.
It is a method of separating and preserving the hidden
qualities (signatures) of plants and minerals in elixirs,
tinctures, and powders. The result is subtle yet
powerful medicines free of the impurities
normally associated with their gross
material forms. By learning to make
tinctures and elixirs and work only with
essences, you will become healthier,
mentally clearer, and spiritually
stronger for the challenges of the
Great Work ahead.

Days 2 & 3
Performance of first two Enochian calls by acclaimed Czech vocalist Iva Maresova
This recording of the the 19 Enochian Calls, was held at the Church of St. John of
Nepomuk, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This edifice has both amazing acoustic
properties and astounding energetics resulting from the powerful geophysical properties
of the hill and surrounding area. It is then collected and amplified by Santini’s
architectural rendering of the Church and its enveloping structure.
It was the culmination of a dream for Vincent Bridges, who was responsible for its
production. Unlike those before him, Bridges viewed the Enochian (or Ophanic or
page 10
Days 2 & 3
Angelic) work of Dee and Kelley not as an outgrowth of the western mystery tradition but
as a literal intervention from outside. He and his students viewed it as a transformative
system best described in energetic states, where even the letters themselves functioning
as waveguides. They saw Enochian as a system of 4th dimensional and higher geometries
that, when properly set up, worked almost automatically. Just as the nucleus of human
cells put out light or photon emissions that are then automatically received by other cells,
Bridges believed the “alchemy of light” generated by a correctly set-up Enochian Temple
worked as a kind of bioenergetic machine provided to humans from the outside to help

jump-start their own evolution. These objects that are formed work automatically by
their shape or function as they exist physically in higher dimensions; they sing “Evolve!”
to those parts of us that already exist in higher realms. That is radically different from any
other understanding of what it is and how it works.
Also this evening, J. Alan Moore (Alaerian), who has presented several workshops on
Enochian with Vincent, will perform on harp, and be available to answer questions about
the 19 Angelic Calls.
How can we wrap up an evening like this? With a play! As you may know, Vincent’s
play “In the Donkey in the Cradle” was to be performed at the Donkey the very day
Vincent tragically and unexpectedly died. We are currently in the midst of discussions
with one of the principle actors and hope to have a short piece from this play performed
on the evening. More information will be available on this soon.

Day 4
Monday Morning, 9.30 am to 12. May 21
Dr. Teresa Burns and Alan J Moore
The Search for the Philosopher’s Stone”, Alchemy in Rudolfine Prague and an
introduction to the Angelic callings of the Enochian language (or, how did learning to talk
with angels become part of the Great Work?)
The body of work generally known today as Enochian is one of the most enigmatic
and fascinating subjects in the western esoteric quest. During the last years of the 16th
century, this language and the system accompanying it was received and recorded by
Englishman John Dee, considered by many the most educated man in England and his
countryman, and the alchemist Edward Kelley.
What are alchemists talking about when they refer to “The Philosopher’s Stone”? Teresa
will answer this from several perspectives ranging from “the spiritual” and alchemy of
metals, to the transmutation of time and a look at human bloodlines. Alchemy, according
to the Jungians, “Isis the Prophetess to Her Son Horus,” is a curious mix of Hebraic and
Egyptian mysticism probably originating in first-century Alexandria, where Egypt mystery
schools combine alchemical instruction with angelic intervention. After this, nothing
similar appears in known writing for another 1,000 years!
Dr. Burns will give a presentation on the “History of Alchemy in Prague” and introduce
us to the intertwined lives of some of the alchemists and proto-scientists associated
with Renaissance Prague, including Tadeáš Hájek, John Dee, Edward Kelley, Tycho
Brahe, Oswald Croll, Michał Sedziwój, and Michael Maier. From Hermetic astrology, to
bloodline politics, from proto-chemistry to apocalyptic philosophy, Dr. Burns will take
you on a roller coaster ride so you are totally up to speed with the last 3000 years of
alchemical enquiry!
Topics
• Alchemy as it intersects with art, architecture and theater
• Alchemy and the apocalypse: Prague as New Jerusalem
• A Renaissance enigma: Alchemy? Magic? Espionage?
• Reported successful transformations: George Ripley, Edward Kelley, Alexander Seton
• Michael Maier’s alchemical emblems and music
• Harp Music by Alaerian
This will lead us into the afternoon walking tour of Prague Castle with Eliska Bridges.

Day 4 Afternoon
Day 4
Monday May 21, 2 to 6 pm
Walking tour of Old Prague with Eliska Bridges
A New Jerusalem in Bohemia - the Capitol of the Noble Arts
The beginnings of Prague´s history emerge from the shadows
of paganism and many hazy legends. The city prophesied by
Libuse, grew into being a new spiritual center of the world.
It became a magnet for mystics, spiritualists, alchemists,
scientists, philosophers, freemasons and artists. The relative
religious tolerance was a very important ingredient of this
mixture, since it created the base for cross-cultural and cross-
interdisciplinary sharing. Prague was and still remains a
melting pot of ideas and approaches.
What beliefs connected Prague to New Jerusalem? Did they
have any validity? Who were the seekers who came to Prague,
and what were they attracted by?
We will look into the old legends, visit the power spots,
discover the places where great thinkers lived, and enjoy the
Prague game of decoding the esoteric meanings on many of
the public facades. You will find yourself standing at Prague
Castle with Eliska, listening to the esoteric connections and
stories behind these buildings. We will also visit places that
are usually off the track of tourist groups.
Seeing both the monuments famous
in alchemy circles as well as other
Legends
places less known is the only
true way to get an image of the
Capitol of the Noble Arts!

Tours of Old Bohemia with Eva Lenova
Guided day trips in mysterious Cesky Krumlov and its surrounds
For a brief spell in Bohemia, a hermetic, alchemical and kabbalistic
enlightenment influenced the seeds of modern science and attempted
to give birth to a new era. In her classic book, The Rosicrucian
Enlightenment, the great historian Frances Yates brought alive to the
modern world an extraordinary period in early 17th Century Europe,
long lost to memory. Only now, almost four hundred years after the
publication of the Rosicrucian manifesto and the Alchemical Wedding of
Christian Rosenkreutz, are we awakening to the full significance of that
moment and its relevance to our own epoch.
Join us on this imaginative and spiritual rediscovery of that magical
Did the ancient time in the very region where “it all took place”. We travel from Prague
in our coach through the lands of castles, rivers, dragons and ancient
alchemists use moldavite heroes to the lands of old Bohemia. Eva Lenova will lead us on many
as part of their adventures around the lands of Cesky Krumlov, including labyrinths,
Lead,
sacred springs and castles.

Gold
The working of Metals, Gold, Ormus, Transmutations and the
Philosophers Stone.
Paul will take us through some of the advance stages of Alchemy
and how to work with the metals, Lead, Mercury, Gold and the
transmutations of the elements, including the Philosophers Stone.
It is important to remember that the Alchemists of old were at the
cutting edge of science, and we consider - we still are! We believe
the true ethical power of science is between the manifested and
unmanifested, the physical and the spiritual. Modern reductionist theory
has its limits, and perhaps it is time that science takes in the finer features
of the infinite universe we live in.
With our understanding of the Fractal Field, Golden Mean Ratio,
insights from Dan Winter, and advancements in plasma technologies
such as the Theraphi Device, you will be initiated into a new world of
ideas, processes and understanding of a deeper life purpose.

Venue: Cesky Krumlov
Alchemy Rituals: Alchemy, and The Enochian-
Ophanic-Angelic language and rituals with Aurelius
Electrum, Dr. Teresa Burns, Alaerian, Eva Lenova and
Dan Winter (via Skype)
In this one day ritual, we will cover
the John Dee and Edward Kelley’s
“conversations with angels,” and the
magical system they engendered. We’ll take you through
some of the techniques variously called Enochian,
Angelic or Ophanic. Aurelius Electrum will guide you
through the essential rituals that Alchemists have used
for centuries. Dr. Teresa Burns and Alaerian will guide
you through an Enochian ritual. At the beginning of the
day, we will connect with Dan Winter via Skype to discuss
the science and physics involved.
You will learn how Dee’s angels were said to be connected to
transmutation, and then take a ride though some of the mysteries, claims
and practices connected to Robert Hooke’s Enochian (the alphabet represented

Radim Hladik— she is a member of the Slavic world music trio the “Maresova Yasinski
Vasicek.” She’s also performed with David Bowie’s guitarist Gerry Leonhard, and
appears as a singer in Martin Nemec’s band “Precedens.” Iva seems to move effortlessly
from genre to genre: her vocal range and expressiveness have opened many doors.
Meeting Vincent Bridges and working with him was one of the pivotal moments of her
career.
