The Masonic Roundtable - 0547 - Splendor 2 Solis
Episode 547
Thursday, 12 March, 2026
Part 2! In this episode of The Masonic Roundtable, we journey back to the 16th century to explore the Splendor Solis, one of the most visually stunning and philosophically profound alchemical manuscripts ever created. We delve into the vibrant sequence of its twenty-two elaborate illustrations, tracing the symbolic narrative of the alchemical process from its initial stages through to completion. Our discussion focuses on the recurring themes of transformation, the necessity of symbolic death, and the ultimate promise of rebirth as depicted in these ancient plates. Join us as we reflect on how these hermetic allegories of internal refinement parallel the spiritual architecture of our own modern traditions.
