Casanova first meets Count of St. Germain

Germain 1757 AD met Form Casanova's memoirsThe most enjoyable dinner I had was with Madame de Robert Gergi, who came with the famous adventurer, known by the name of the Count de St. Germain. This individual, instead of eating, talked from the beginning of the meal to the end, and I followed his example in one respect as I did not eat, but listened to him with the greatest attention. It may safely be said that as a conversationalist he was unequaled. Presentacion soliloquio de un pensador. 2015 06.marples casanova.proven.freemason.

They divest conch of their shells, limb by limb, tentacle by tentacle, until at last each holds a smooth, white mass of meat. When they finish, they toss the shells—shiny and polished pink by the sand—behind them, to join thousands of their departed brothers and sisters in a series of jagged dunes, towering a dozen feet above their heads.

Casanova's days in the castle, as described by Prince Charles de Ligne, the Duke's uncle, and quoted in the Childs biography, were not happy. ''There was not a day in which, whether for his coffee, his milk, the plate of macaroni he demanded, there was not a quarrel,'' de Ligne wrote.

Captured in watercolor paintings, lithograph prints and black-ink linework, the collected illustrations demonstrate the diversity of Earth’s wildlife as observed over hundreds of years.

The practice of creating detailed illustrations of flora and fauna, whether to document an expedition or a medical practice, gained popularity well before photography was up to the task. Even today, an illustration can offer more clarity than a photograph. Untitled.

El desconocido tarot mexicano del siglo XVI (o la inesperada correspondencia de Hermes con la adivinación prehispánica) - Hermeticism. Not to be confused with Hermit. Hermeticism, also called Hermetism,[1][2] is a religious and philosophical/esoteric tradition based primarily upon writings attributed to Hermes Trismegistus ("Thrice Great").[3] These writings have greatly influenced the Western esoteric tradition and were considered to be of great importance during both the Renaissance[4] and the Reformation.[5] The tradition claims descent from a prisca theologia, a doctrine that affirms the existence of a single, true theology that is present in all religions and that was given by God to man in antiquity.[6][7] Many Christian writers, including Lactantius, Augustine,[8] Thomas Aquinas[citation needed], Marsilio Ficino, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Giordano Bruno, Campanella, Sir Thomas Browne, and Emerson, considered Hermes Trismegistus to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity.[9][10] History[edit] Late Antiquity[edit] Renaissance[edit] Philosophy[edit] Prisca theologia[edit]

Hermes Trismegistus. Purported author of the Hermetic Corpus Hermes Trismegistus (Ancient Greek: Ἑρμῆς ὁ Τρισμέγιστος, "thrice-greatest Hermes"; Latin: Mercurius ter Maximus) is the purported author of the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism.

La Quinta da Regaleira es uno de los monumentos más sorprendentes de la sierra de Sintra. Situada en el término del centro histórico de la villa, fue construida entre 1904 y 1910, en el periodo final de la monarquía.

Los dominios románticos antaño pertenecientes a la Vizcondesa da Regaleira fueron adquiridos y ampliados por el Sr. António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro (1848-1920) para fundar su lugar predilecto. Poseedor de una fortuna prodigiosa, que le valió el mote de “Montero de los millones”, asoció su singular proyecto de arquitectura y paisaje al genio creativo del arquitecto y escenógrafo italiano Luigi Manini (1848-1936), así como a la maestría de los escultores, canteros y talladores que habían trabajado con él en el Palace Hotel de Buçaco.

The mystery of the Octavius: An 18th-century ghost ship was discovered with the captain’s body found frozen at his desk, still holding his pen. Maritime lore abounds with stories of ghost ships, those ships that sail the world’s oceans manned by a ghostly crew and destined never to make port. The most well known of these tales is that of the Mary Celeste.

But one of the eeriest stories has to be the mystery of the Octavius. The story opens in 1761 with the Octavius docked in the port of London to take on a cargo destined for China. This majestic sailing ship left port with a full crew, the skipper, and his wife and son. They arrived safely in China and unloaded their cargo. “Rising full moon.” Crimean Tom. Crimean Tom (also known as Tom or Sevastopol Tom) was a cat noted for his association with the British Army during the Crimean War. Found by Lieutenant William Gair in Sevastopol after a year-long siege, he is said to have led British forces to valuable caches of hidden supplies that helped ease starvation among the troops. Gair brought Tom back to England after the war but the cat died soon afterwards. He was stuffed and presented to the Royal United Services Institute. The Ritman Library, Amsterdam.
