In Victorian London, long before the term serial killer was coined, two series of murders played out that have captured the imagination of the whole world. The Jack the Ripper murders and the Thames Torso murders, so similar to each other, took place during the same period in London and have never been solved.
In this book, journalist and researcher Christer Holmgren explains why the murders were never cleared up and names the East End carman Charles Lechmere as the culprit behind both series of murders. He was a man who claimed he found Jack the Ripper's first victim, but avoided to give his true name to the police.
In the 2014 TV documentary The Missing Evidence -- Jack the Ripper, the case for Charles Lechmere as the Ripper was outlined. In it, a prominent barrister stated that the case would have been good enough to take to court. This makes Lechmere stand out amongst the many suspects named over the years: his is a case where it can be practically demonstrated how he is linked to the murders.
More recent research suggests that Charles Lechmere also needs to be held responsible for the Thames Torso murder series, spanning the years 1873-1889. Guided by the help of experts, Holmgren links the cases together, establishes the underlying inspiration behind them, and beckons the originator of the murders out into the light, a century after his death

Описание:
Translated into English for the very first time, the Hermetic Recreations is a uniquely lucid masterwork of French Hermetic philosophy. Set down in an anonymous hand at the turn of the Nineteenth Century, it provides critical insights into the operative arts of the western alchemical tradition. Illuminating both the traditional mediaeval practices which it inherited, and those of the Parisian alchemical revival which it would influence, this rare text forms an important bridge between alchemical epochs.
Although the identity of the author remains a mystery, the text appears to have been composed sometime between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Preserved in the manuscript collection of Mus um d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, it was first brought to the attention of Bernard Husson by his friend, Eug ne Canseliet (1899-1982), the French alchemist and only direct student of Fulcanelli. This eventually resulted in the first publication of Les R cr ations herm tiques in 1964. Gilles Pasquier published a corrected edition in 1992, also in French, which included the Scholium or commentary. The text of the Scholium is a particularly revealing addition, for it presents 150 Hermetic "aphorisms" encapsulating the core principles of the alchemical process.
Both texts, which clearly form a single work, are presented here in a handsome dual language edition, in French and in English, with copious scholarly annotations by Christer B ke, John Koopmans, Stanislas Klossowski de Rola, and Aaron Cheak.
A limited edition hardback version of this work, in a limited print run of 222 copies, is available exclusively through Rubedo Press.

Описание:
Composed in Middle French, and preserved in an eighteenth-century manuscript which strongly influenced Fulcanelli, The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum presents itself with a singular purpose: to unlock the symbolic philosophy of the Emerald Tablet in order to provide the foundations of alchemical practice.
Previously unknown apart from some captivating citations from Fulcanelli, this mysterious text recently surfaced among the manuscripts of the Gallatins, a family of Swiss provenance who rose to prominence among the founding fathers of the United States of America. Originating specifically from the personal collection of Albert H. Gallatin-a professor of chemistry, geology, and mineralogy who devoted himself to the study of ancient langauges in order to understand alchemical texts-this manuscript is of singular interest to scholars of religion, historians of science, and practitioners of the royal art.
Translated into English for the very first time, The Key to the Hermetic Sanctum (La Clef du Cabinet Herm tique) appears here in a dual-language edition featuring a carefully prepared edition of the French text alongside a clear English translation. This copiously annotated volume comes with an introduction exploring the figure of Gallatin and his possible connections to Fulcanelli-one of the twentieth century's most enigmatic alchemists-together with an appendix clarifying the relationship of this work to other texts known under similar names.

Описание:
I do not consider myself a religious person. After my husband passed away, my world as I had known it changed. Dealing with death has never been easy for me, be it a family member or friend. A love one dies, the end. Some will have you believe that, I don't. I have experienced wonders that have only improved my world. Some will say it's not possible, I smile because I know different. I have written this journal to let others know that in fact, it is not the end. If you believe and have faith anything is possible. I do not claim to understand what is happening and maybe never will but that is the wonder of it all. I thought at some point things would stop, but to my surprise they continue and I am very grateful that they do. So, ask yourself why do some use the phrase "cross-over"? Cross-over to what, another dimension, taking on another form? My husband and the angels continue to be my unseen partners, and I am having the adventure of a lifetime. Lynne Minyard-Christer lives in Arizona with her three cats. She has been many things to many people: wife, mother, friend, grocery checker, secretary, bookkeeper, divorced, retired, author and caregiver. There have been tears of joy and tears of sadness along the way--life's many adventures to deal with. Some friendships were short-lived, and a few carried through the years. She is always believing there is a story to tell. She is the author of a short little tale called Tige's Big Adventures. Tige was "our" little guy. Now she wonders what life has to offer and what adventures are in her future.
