9.30 to 5pm Saturday and Sunday May 19 to 20th Venue: The Donkey and Cradle
The Alchemy of Cannabis Learn how to make your own plant medicines * Practical Alchemy * The Art of Distillation Join us for an exploration into the philosophy, theory and practice of the alchemical tradition. Learn the history of Hermetic Mysticism and the techniques used by the forefathers of modern chemistry, herbology and medicine. This two-day seminar (plus Friday evening introduction) will provide an in depth look at both inner and outer alchemy utilizing a wide spectrum of alchemical teachings including Vedic, Taoist and the Western Hermetic Traditions. Later in the week, Paul will be instructing us in the advance techniques with working with metals, gold, transmutation and the philosophers stone. This is a practical workshop. We are setting up an alchemy lab so you can witness the complete experience. We’ll look at various laboratory apparatus, their description, set-up and use, as well as laboratory safety. Working with the plant kingdom through the art of distillation, we’ll create an alchemical menstruum as well as an essential oil for your personal use. Participants will also take home bottles of the Spagyric tincture and essences we will create in the class. The goal of this course is to provide you with a foundation for a physical, mental and spiritual understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of Nature, through the magical spectacles of the Western Esoteric Alchemical Traditions Alchemy has been part of the human experience for so long we cannot recall its origins. But what is important is the fact that the Alchemists of old were at the cutting edge for front of science (and still are!). We will look at advancements in plant wisdom, growing and processing, and extraction methods. In 1997, a hemp rope dating back to 26,900 BC was found in the Czech Republic, making it the oldest known object to be associated with cannabis. Hemp has played an important role in humanity’s development for a long time and now she is showing herself in a whole new light. We have the largest amount of ‘receptors’ for hemp/CBD than any other plant species. This demonstrates our long evolution with this amazing plant. It is now used in modern life for a wide range of aliments and is providing unrivaled relief for a variety of symptoms and conditions, including pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammation. Cannabis (Medical Marijuana / Hemp / CDB Oil) contains at least 85 types of cannabinoids, and over 480 natural components found within the Cannabis sativa plant, many of which have documented medical value.

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.

Day 2 evening, 7pm Saturday May 19th Book and CD release party held at the Donkey and Cradle Join Dr. Terry Burns, Eliska Bridges, Alan J Moore, Iva Maresova and special invited guests, to celebrate the publication of Vincent’s book (and his life) and the CD music release of the Angelic Callings. Esoteric historian and researcher Vincent Bridges, best known for his work on Nostradamus, Enochian, and the intersections of John Dee, Edward Kelley, and William Shakespeare, passed away unexpectedly in 2014. He left several unpublished manuscripts behind in the hands of his collaborators. The first of these, An Alchemical Enigma: A Short History of the Rise and Fall of Sir Edward Kelley, will be released this spring. Vincent wrote the book in 2011 while living at the Donkey in the Cradle, one of Kelley’s homes during the time he spent in Prague. An Alchemical Enigma has been edited by Dr. Terry Burns, Professor of English from the University of Wisconsin, and Ms. Eliska Bridges, an independent licensed tour guide who accompanied and worked with Vincent on many projects. In addition to editing this work, they have added several appendices, including an analysis of Kelley’s poem “To G.S., Gent.,” translations of Kelley’s best-known alchemical works (Theatre of Terrestrial Astronomy, The Humid Path, and The Stone of the Philosophers), a speculative timeline, and a history of The Donkey in the Cradle. Copies of An Alchemical Enigma will be available for sale, and its editors will give a special presentation highlighting excerpts from this work of Vincent’s as well as from two others he co-authored, Mysteries of Great Cross at Hendaye and The Ophanic Revelation, and from his play, “The Donkey in the Cradle.” They’ll also treat you to excerpts from a CD featuring acclaimed Czech vocalist Iva Maresova. In 2013, Vincent, Iva, Eliska, and others recorded the 19 Enochian calls at the magnificent Santini-designed Church of St. John of Nepomuk at Zelena Hora, in Zdar nad Savazou, Moravia, Czech Republic. This new and unique interpretation of this culminating aspect of the Enochian corpus is also scheduled for release and will be available for sale.
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 yb 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 Spiritualitywith 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.
Please join us for this very special evening.

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.
page 12 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 places less known is the only true way to get an image of the Capitol of the Noble Arts!

Day 5, 6, 7 & 8 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, sacred springs and castles. “Philosopher’s Stone?

Paul will take us through some of the advance stages of Alchemy Lead, 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 Mercury, 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 Go ld 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.

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 Step back and an elaborate cryptographic system) to the Golden Dawn’s claim of a cipher manuscript. We will explore Dan Winter’s and Vincent Bridges explorations of look at the Enochian relationship to sacred geometry and Vincent Bridges’ discussion of correspondences “Angels in the DNA.” We’ll then step back and look at the correspondences between the Angelic watchtowers and one of the oldest and simplest between the Angelic talismanic symbols: The Pentagram. Alaerian will lead the group through a watchtowers and simple pentagram ritual and how this connects to Enochian work. We will then incorporate Enochian elements into a more extended invoking one of the oldest and pentagram culminating in the Greater Pentagram, or Watchtower, ritual. simplest talismanic Within this sacred space, Alaerian will demonstrate the rending of the veil and the first two Enochian ‘calls’, as a way of providing participants with a symbols: direct experience of the sounds and feel of the Enochian.

The 2018 Alchemy of Prague is dedicated to the life and work of Vincent Bridges. Vincent Bridges (USA 1952-2014) Vincent Bridges was an internationally known author, lecturer and esoteric historian. He co-authored two books with Dr. Teresa Burns on the mysterious 20th century alchemist Fulcanelli and was co-author of “Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye” and “Alchemy and the End of Time”. Vincent was the expert commentator and historical consultant on the History and Discovery Channel shows on Nostradamus. At the time of his passing, he was working on several books with themes such as Shakespeare, Rudolphine Prague and the Hermetic Revolution. An international authority on the Ophanic Angelic Communication (perhaps the original languages and the ultimate language of initiation) Vincent also taught and wrote about many aspects of Alchemy, John Dee, Sacred Geometry, Fulcaneli, Grail Legends, Nostradamus, Earth Mysteries, I Ching and Ancient Egypt. He was a world traveler, having organized and led tour groups to Southern France, Egypt and India and from 2010 relocated from South Carolina USA to Prague to continue his research into the lives of John Dee, Edward Kelly, and the missing years of William Shakespeare. His as yet unpublished titles are “Shakespeare, John Dee and the Hermetic Revolution: Alchemy and Espionage in the Magickal Theatre of Elizabethan England; John Dee, Edward Kelley and William Shakespeare: Alchemy and espionage at the court of Rudolph II” Further work of his can be found at http://www.vincentbridgeslegacy.com, including information on The Ophanic Revelation and his forthcoming An Alchemical Enigma: The Rise and Fall of Sir Edward Kelly (to be released at the next Alchemy of Prague event 2018) Iva Maresova Vocalist Iva Maresova, who is also a musical composer, actress and lyricist, lives in Prague. A Czech native, she takes pride in the cultural authenticity of her music. Along with working with two of the legends of the Czech musical scene - Michal Pavlicek and 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.
