"They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
" (Dylan Thomas)

 

my name is rubaphilos salfluĕre, welcome to my website.

I have been a student of Hermetism, and of alchemy in particular, for over 25 years. During that period of time I have produced a healthy quantity of written material on the subject of Hermetism, its study and techniques of teaching. This website is a constant work in progress, where you can gain access to some of my written material, visual art, and information about the private study group I maintain.

For updates on some of my ongoing projects, quotes and general banter you can find my daily rants at twitter:

 Definition:
Heredom:
Of Freemasonic origin. Thought to be a qabalistic device referring to the Jewish Harodim or Master Builders. Was originally used to refer to Antient masonry, which existed before the formation  of the first Grand Lodge of Modern (exoteric) English Masonry (1717). The Lodges of Harodim, or Heredom, were the esoteric Brethren behind old masonry, thought to have evolved out of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, or to have a similar Philosophy and concerns. The rite of the old Harodim eventually devolved in to what is now called the Royal Arch, and an echo of that Brotherhood can be found in the masonic degrees of the Princes Rose Croix of Heredom (Ancient and Accepted Rite) and the Heredom of Kilwinning (The Royal Order of Scotland).
