In the sea without lees Standeth the bird of Hermes Eating his wings variable And maketh himself yet full stable When all his feathers be from him gone He standeth still here as a stone Here is now both white and red And all so the stone to quicken the dead All and some without fable Both hard and soft and malleable Understand now well and right And thank you God of this sight The bird of Hermes is my name eating my wings to make me tame. The Red Sea. The Red Sol. The Red Elixir Vitae. Red Stone. White Stone. Elixir Vitae. Luna in Crescent.

Detail from The Ripley Scroll

The Ripley Scroll is an extraordinary manuscript, nearly 6 metres long, that describes how to make the fabled Philosopher's Stone. It is named after George Ripley, a medieval canon of Bridlington Priory, Yorkshire, who reputedly wrote a text known as The Compound of Alchymy. The scroll is full of mystical symbolism.

This is an audio recording of the proposal I submitted, which was accepted by the Magickal Women Conference.  This event is taking place in June 2019 in London, and I’d like to send you rewards for your help in getting me there!

The images are from my 2012 trip to England and France, including the Red & White Springs in Glastonbury, a Ripley Scroll in London and the alchemical carvings of Notre Dame in Paris.
