Umberto Eco on Cusa/Lull
” The thought of Nicholas is rich in comological metaphors (or models) founded upon the image of the circle and the wheel, in which the names of the divine attributes (explicitly borrowed from Lull) form a circle where each supports and confirms the others. The influence of Lull is even more explicitly revealed when Nicholas notes that the names by which the Greeks, Latins, Turks and Saracens designate the divinity are either all in fundamental accord, or derive from the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (see the sermon Dies sanctificatus).”
Umberto Eco, “The Search for the Perfect Language” 1994.

This intricate allegory is included in Fairfax Cartwright’s The Mystic Rose from the Garden of the King,” and is an essential text for the study of the tarot.
The Hermetic Code
Michael Hayes, author of: High Priests, Quantum Genes. Black Spring Press, 2004, has a powerful website that looks at the Hermetic Code through a cosmic lens. See: The Hermetic Code: A General Theory of just about Everything.
Also along similar lines at the Reality Sandwich website:
Music of the Quantum Lattice In the field of high-energy physics, a rapidly rising theory called “Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics” (Lattice QCD) proposes that an invisible, all-pervasive structure exists beneath atomic structure. As a long overdue replacement for the vacuous space-time continuum, we are now poised for a return to the ancient worldview of a musical universe described by Pythagorean harmonic science.
Michael Maier
A new book by Hereward Tilton on Michael Maier at the Isis Website:
Hereward Tilton. The Quest for the
Mike Dickman comments: Not that new and also incredibly expensive, it really is a useful book for anyone interested in the study of Maier, completely replacing the outdated info in both Craven and my own intro to the “Cantilenae Intellectuales”… If you can afford it, get it.
Power Points
“It was said that while Saint Benedict built on the mountain top, the Cistercian built in the valley; flowing water has always been an intrinsic key to the secret of Cistercian sites, not only was running water essential to the material needs of the monastery, but springs and rivers have been associated with magical powers since the dawn of time and in the Christian Tradition streams and wells were always dedicated to the Virgin, as were all Cistercian Abbey Churches.”
Harding, Fra William P. The Origins of The Order of The Temple of Solomon, R.I.L.K.O. Journal, 54, Spring/Summer 1999, p.10.
”All the sites of the cult of the virgin are at once haunted places with a long, mostly pre-Christian tradition. Deep under the churches of pilgrimage there are in most cases vast cavities, lodes of ore, radioactive springs, or hot or cold springs. Who discovered them, designated them, and ordered that temples should be built over them? And why? In order to prevent man’s graspingness from violating them, to keep these special places of the Earth untouched? We do not know.”
