I do wonder if the 'code' is simpler than anyone has expected. Could just be like shorthand - no vowels, but then, I'm no codebreaker, lol. Thank you. Very interesting! My theory is it's a witchcraft alchemy book of some kind; the type that would have had the author burned at the stake. Spells, recipes and whatnot that the writer had concluded had a lot of power.. if you believe in that sort of thing...that explains the required secrecy when handed down and the 'coding' of the information..

*The Secret Key to Alchemy and Mysticism* "Kickstarting Nature's Draw Through Complexity" The key to all alchemy is deceiving but not hard to fashion. The ancients believed that they could summon gods and spirits through complexity. They used the secret corridors of metalsmithing to create complex objects like grails to conduct their ritual practices. Not only did they summon the gods but they brought about the generation of the birth and death of all humans by summoning them from the Celestial into the Earth. They believed in immortality and religious philosophy such as reincarnation, but this is only revealed through becoming a metalsmith, as one would fulfill their summoning and hold the keys to returning to a Celestial realm. The point is the summon all of humanity and trap them on earth indefinitely making them gods. The mysticism in alchemy further covers this up but dangles its key. Here one may interpret the woodcuts of artist like "William Blake." This lies in the vast tradition of "Creation" which is really the inspiration of complexity unto other creative acts. The Greek created men with iron, the Devil taught men originally to metalsmith in times way before Genesis, and the Pythagoreans locked men into a "Wheel of Rebirth" in mathematics whereby the alchemists were closest to the truth of all things. The draw of nature unto Celestial Beings without artistic endeavors is weak. The alchemists sought to multiply this draw through the ultimate complexity which would have been the transmutation of base metals, thus summoning greater beings into a cycle of birth and death whereby they would hold the keys. "As above, so below" Note* The Caduceus in alchemic traditions is another sort of taunting mystery by which the alchemists mock the uninitiated by which the truly wealthy live a life without labor closer to the reality of Earth. People without the keys to alchemy seek the opportunity of a life without labor and enriched without chemical addictions in the truth of the pineal gland and the spiritual. It is only here the keys to the complexity of the metalsmith become revealed in society. The Ouroboros is the social result of this kind of power, much like described in the Greek philosophy of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. It is interesting that the final proof of the alchemic world and, thus immortality, is related to the discovery of one's prior identities in rebirth and also their knowledge of origin Celestial origins that allows for the eye to awaken in next-life possibilities. The substance of the mind becomes more easily worked in Karmic physics unto new births. Who am I, so to speak? Am I Roger bacon, Nicholas Flamel, and where have I been? -Jeremy Nienow "You say it's your birthday? It's my birthday, too...": -The Beatles Earth is the biggest party that ever existed. The entire Celestial universe will be affected, forever. Any final battle or Armageddon will simply further justify its cause through the desire of all good beings.

I'm starting to collect YT channels as my childhood passion of making books / journals has been reignited. Your channel reminds me of artisanal printing methods like this treasure exhibits stand out. Beautiful little book! Thanks for showing and conga rats to the winner! PS - I made my boyfriend very happy when I met him in Toronto & had the librarian there pull out the 1st edition (not first printing) of Bram Stoker's "Dracula". (My bf is a big fan of books & of vampires. LOL!)

I'm not well versed on the subject so my recommendations are limited but I really enjoyed The Kybalion, it's a little controversial for being watered down but I liked it and I think it was a good introduction.

It was printed in 1890 witt the 230 pictures and the Text of Martin Luther. Now a part of my Bibe collection. I'm glad about all new printings to bring this wonderfull Pictures to the people.

IMHO, MinaLima series of HP book is somewhat more genuine and compelling than Jim Key edition. And the main reason why I prefer this very series - is simply its size, being not that enormous like Jim Key's books - you cannot comfortly read those in bed. On the other hand, MinaLima's books give that cozy feeling I love about books, especially concerning Harry Potter.

I thought it was a repro at first , but I used a flashlight to provide raking light across the surface and could see the pigments and the shadow of the copper plate description on the reverse .
