Join a compelling exploration of ancient traditions, Hermetic Gnosis, and the dawn of Christianity, all in pursuit of a lost word. This quest journeys across Europe, following the trail of the magic square from sun-baked Pompeii to the cool mists of Britannia, through Templar strongholds and venerable estates-a true voyage beyond time and space. At the heart of it lies the unassuming Sator square, which speaks volumes. It embodies the Sublime Sower, whose vibrant energy impregnates the world, giving birth to all life. For roughly two thousand years, the message it imparts hints at its deep Gnostic roots, specifically a distinct Hermetic Gnosis grounded in the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus and his legendary Emerald Tablet: "What is above is like what is below..." As Frances Yates wisely observed, this message appealed to "tired pagans" around the 1st century CE, yearning for a fresh pietas beyond their crumbling traditional gods, just as the words of Jesus of Nazareth began their unstoppable spread throughout the Roman Empire.
