White flowers in shaded late-afternoon light, with a kiss of magenta on their shy petals. A tiny pearl of light can be seen on the lower flower's petal, like a tear-drop made of diamond. A beautiful dream. (Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum & Gardens)
Marmorpalais (Marble House), Neuer Garten, Potsdam
"The Marble House is romantically situated on a terraced site directly on the lakeshore in the New Garden. King Frederick William II had the structure with its exterior accents of Silesian marble erected from 1787–93 as a summer residence. His architect Carl von Gontard thus created the first and only Prussian royal palace in the early Neoclassical style. The palace and garden served as a secluded retreat for the artistically inclined king, who had an enthusiasm for Rosicrucian ideas." (www.spsg.de/en/palaces-gardens/object/marble-house)
Gorgeous lines and shadows of a very large tropical leaf. I believe they call this an "Elephant Ear" leaf. I can see the resemblance. (Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum Gardens in San Jose, CA)

Uno de los lugares con más misterio de la península ibérica lo encontramos en la bonita población portuguesa de Sintra, patrimonio de la humanidad. Allí, en la misteriosa villa del Palacio da Regaleira, descubriremos, casi oculto por la naturaleza, una puerta giratoria de piedra desde la que entraremos a un gran pozo de origen masónico con una gran cruz de la orden de Rosacruz. Este inmenso pozo misterioso, con una eterna escalera en espiral, parece evocar, según los expertos, los nueve círculos del infierno, los del paraiso o los del purgatorio. Sea lo que sea, lo cierto es que el visitante quedárá impregnado de espiritualidad y misterio cuando esté en su interior. Acompañado de las gotas de agua que caen del techo, el viajero podrá descender hasta la cruz masónica para más tarde ser conducidos por unas oscuras grutas que nos llevarán a la salida.

One of the most mysterious places of the Iberian Peninsula is found in the beautiful Portuguese town of Sintra, World Heritage. There, in the mysterious town of Regaleira Palace, discover, almost hidden by nature, a revolving door of stone from which to enter into a deep pit of Masonic origin with a great cross by Rosicrucian. This vast mysterious shaft in an eternal spiral staircase, seems to evoke, according to experts, the nine circles of hell, those of paradise or purgatory. Whatever, the fact is that the visitor will be imbued with spirituality and mystery when inside. Accompanied by water drops falling from the ceiling, the traveler may descend to the Masonic cross to later be driven by dark caves that will lead to the exit.

The Castillo Pittamiglio is a building located in the city of Montevideo ( Uruguay ), more precisely Francisco Vidal Street, between September 21 and Rambla de Montevideo , at the Trouville point of the Punta Carretas neighborhood . The façade facing the promenade exhibits a replica of the Victory of Samothrace , representing "the victory of life", made by the Italian-Uruguayan sculptor Pedro Piccioli, which makes the building emblematic of the Montevideo coast.

Regaleira Palace by Daniel Arrhakis (2014)
The palatial villa is situated on the mountainside not far from Sintra's historical center ( Sintra, Portugal). It has been classified as a Building of Public Interest since 2002.
The Regaleira Palace and Estate, also known as the "Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire”, was built in the beginning of the 20th century, born from the imagination of its millionaire owner António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro and the Italian architect Luigi Manini.
Carvalho Monteiro, based on a design by the Italian architect Luigi Manini, transformed the 4-hectare estate into a palace surrounded by lush gardens, lakes, grottoes and enigmatic constructions with hidden alchemist meanings, such as those evoked by the Freemasons, Templars and Rosicrucians. The varied styles of his design evoke Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Manueline architecture.

Khnumhotep (next image) was brought into the presence of Osiris by his son Horus, having become 'true of voice' or 'justified'.
This was a standard epithet applied to dead individuals in their texts.
Osiris is shown seated under a canopy, with his sisters Isis and Nephthys.
Osiris is the god of fertility, agriculture, the afterlife, the dead, resurrection, life, and vegetation in ancient Egyptian religion. He was classically depicted as a green-skinned deity with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive atef crown, and holding a symbolic crook and flail. He was one of the first to be associated with the mummy wrap.

Collegehill House was once the Old Rosslyn Inn where many people stayed including those visitors and pilgrims to Rosslyn Chapel. The presence of seashells has some people linking this Chapel to The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, this the sacred ways to the Santiago de Compostela cathedral in Spain to the shrine at the burial place of the Apostle St James. The place of Rosslyn and the family that built both the Castle and Chapel here are linked to Scottish Rite Masonry and are heralded as the Hereditary Grand Masters. The National Bard of Scotland Robert Burns’ stayed in the Old Rosslyn Inn with Alexander Naismith in 1787. Robert Burns wrote,
Epigram At Roslin Inn.
My blessings on ye, honest wife!
I ne’er was here before;
Ye’ve wealth o’ gear for spoon and knife-
Heart could not wish for more.
Heav’n keep you clear o’ sturt and strife,
Till far ayont fourscore,
And while I toddle on thro’ life,
I’ll ne’er gae by your door!
There are stories of Robert Burns’ inscribing on plate and though that one seems lost to history there is a whole industry of Burns’ memorabilia and there are plates galore both old and new showing Robert Burns’.

Welcome to Rosslyn Chapel
Alexander Nasmyth drawing of Rosslyn Castle showing both the artist and Robert Burns.
The date added to the picture appears to be wrong and it is suggested, “perhaps done by Nasmyth’s son, James.” Once you think of the date being added the initials AN and RB seem out of place in the picture and you can wonder if link was needed to make the drawing more valuable with AN and RB being indicated as the figures included?

The shadowy statue of the Egyptian goddess, Sekhmet, at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, CA. The lighting in the gallery is superb for capturing the mood. It is a unique challenge, as there are no flash or tripods allowed, and the room has very low lighting.
I don't know what happened to this fellow's legs. Some short--midgets? dwarfs?-- people have particularly short legs, but I have never seen anyone like this.
2018: Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum
After a number of visits to St Mary's, this was the first time we'd been able to get inside the Chapter House. It's a modest space, rebuilt in the 14th century by Thomas Beauchamp. Taking up most of the space is this enormous monument to Sir Fulke Greville (1554 – 1628), for which he paid £280. He was a poet, dramatist and statesman, and served under Elizabeth I and James I. He was granted Warwick Castle in 1604, where he made numerous improvements and in 1621 he was made Baron Brooke. He was also the biographer of Sir Philip Sidney. There is a theory that the Chapter House was also used as a Rosicrucian temple by Greville.
In 1628 Greville was stabbed at his house in Holborn, by Ralph Haywood, a servant who believed that he had been cheated by being left out of his master's will. Haywood then turned the knife on himself. Greville's physicians treated his wounds by filling them with pig fat which infected them, and he died in agony four weeks later. His body was brought back to Warwick, and buried in this massive monument, where a short epitaph ends ‘Trophaeum peccati’ - sins triumph. He never married and left no natural heirs, so the barony passed to his cousin and adopted son, Robert Greville (1608–1643).

Philosopher Pythagoras gazes upward toward the Cosmas, a term that he coined, which means "something beautiful to look at".
Pythagoras (ca. 570 - 490 BCE) deeply influenced astronomy, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy especially the Rosicrucian Tradition.

A gorgeous blue curl of an Echeveria succulent plant. We believe this to be of the "Duchess of Nurnberg" variety. This plant is part of the beautifully landscaped gardens of the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, labyrinth, and gardens in San Jose, CA.
Just got back from a Labor Day weekend trip, Mojave Desert & Yosemite National Park. Can't wait to show you the pictures. In the studio today, trying to catch up! Hope everyone had a safe holiday! :)

Im Alten Ägypten zierten Obelisken die Plätze vor Tempeln. Sie wurden zu Ehren des Sonnengottes Re errichtet, stellten einen steingewordenen Sonnenstrahl dar und sollten die irdische mit der göttlichen Welt verbinden. Als Schattenstab zeigten sie den Lauf der Sonne von Ost nach West im Tagesverlauf an. Die genauen Zeiten des Sonnenauf- und
-untergangs ließen sich im Jahreszyklus beobachten und genau berechnen, ein Sinnbild für die konstante, immer wiederkehrende göttliche Ordnung. Damit standen Obelisken auch für die Königswürde und den Ursprung aller Dynastien im Alten Ägypten. Diese Interpretation verweist auch auf den Auftraggeber des Obelisken im Neuen Garten: König Friedrich Wilhelm II. von Preußen (1744-1797). Er gehörte einer Freimaurer-Loge und dem mystischen Rosenkreuzerbund an, der viele ägyptische Symbole benutzte. Das 1793/94 südlich des Marmorpalais nach einem Entwurf von Carl Gotthard Langhans (1732-1808) errichtete Bauwerk besteht aus blaugrauem Priborner Marmor (Schlesien) mit einer auffallenden Maserung. Am Pfeilerschaft heben sich vier Reliefmedaillons aus weißem Carrara-Marmor ab. Sie wurden nach Entwürfen von Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850) von Johann Christoph Wohler (1748-1799) gearbeitet und stellen Männerköpfe in verschiedenen Lebensaltern dar, eine Symbolik, die auf die vier Jahreszeiten verweist. Insgesamt ist der Obelisk 10,22 Meter hoch.. Seine Restaurierung begann 2022 und wurde im September 2024 abgeschlossen.

In Ancient Egypt, obelisks adorned the squares in front of temples. They were erected in honour of the sun god Re, represented a stone sunbeam and were intended to connect the earthly world with the divine world. As shadow sticks, they showed the course of the sun from east to west during the course of the day. The exact times of sunrise and sunset
-sunrise and sunset could be observed and precisely calculated in the annual cycle, symbolising the constant, recurring divine order. Obelisks therefore also symbolised kingship and the origin of all dynasties in Ancient Egypt. This interpretation also refers to the person who commissioned the obelisk in the New Garden: King Frederick William II of Prussia (1744-1797). He belonged to a Masonic lodge and the mystical Rosicrucian League, which used many Egyptian symbols. The building, erected in 1793/94 to the south of the Marble Palace to a design by Carl Gotthard Langhans (1732-1808), is made of blue-grey Priborn marble (Silesia) with a striking grain. Four relief medallions made of white Carrara marble stand out on the pillar shaft. They were created by Johann Christoph Wohler (1748-1799) based on designs by Johann Gottfried Schadow (1764-1850) and depict men's heads at various ages, a symbolism that refers to the four seasons. The obelisk is 10.22 metres high in total. Its restoration began in 2022 and was completed in September 2024.
