I would love to see more study of Michael Maier on the web--have you read Joscelyn Godwin and Hereward Tilton on him? I taught a class on alchemical illustrations at the Graduate Theological Union a few years ago. I chose Maier's Atalanta Fugiens as the main text for the course (in De Rola's Golden Game which every student of Alchemy should have!). a ton of links have been posted over the years at the LJ I set up for the class. http://community.livejournal.com/alchemy_class/ great post!

A sword, especially a fiery sword, cleaving the egg and killing the alien critter inside would be a good ending. I saw the egg and was reminded of the unlovely Alien eggs pre-attachment-to-faces.

Atalanta Fugiens is a work of priceless value for western alchemy. It is also, as pointed out in some quarters, perhaps the first multi-mediatic book: each emblem is accompanied by a little fugue written, allegedly, by Mayer himself.You can hear them at http://www.levity.com/alchemy/atal_01.html Best Mirco Greg,
