Prague is full of surprises. For me, the discovery was the alchemical tower. The turret is next to the museum and is open, but not for tourists and for people practicing in the occult sciences.

Vysehrad in Prague.

Visegrad in Prague always gives me a double feeling – there is a story, there is energy, there are secrets and at the same time, there is something unpleasant, absorbing, affecting a person.We pass through the arch. and we get to the medieval pavement. A cobblestone road leads past the rotunda of St. Martin withContinue reading “Vysehrad in Prague.”

Monsegur – stronghold of Qatar. France.

The road to the castle goes between the mountains. We ride a minibus past fields with sunflowers, past fields with plants similar to corn, only cut from above. Around is clean, crowded, calm.
