Rebus in the Rosslyn Chapel

This NEW Symposium Booklet explores the use of rebus (using pictures to represent numbers or words) in the legandary Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. (Don't miss the Addendum!). Within the Rosslyn Chapel—during our quest for signs of a Transformation Process of converting Mercury to Gold in its rebus pictures--we had found Dragon v. Phoenix conflicts, entwined Dragons fighting each other, some Mercury and Gold-related symbols, lots of ‘0’ circles of ‘8’ and plenty of sets of ‘7’ and ‘9’ combined together. We had found roses and crosses--and even rosey crosses. There had been evidence of inverted Mercury symbols. This booklet—especially written for a 2016 symposium of ‘Da Vinci’s REAL Hidden Secrets’--is a stunning exploration of the use of rebus in the Chapel and in related Philosophers' Stone texts. This enthralling spellbinder traces our research on the hypothesis that the authors in the Philosophers’ Stone genre had used rebus to encode the secret sacred knowledge of the specific number of electrons within Mercury (‘80’ electrons as the 80th element) and Gold (‘79’ electrons as the 79th element) in the Philosophers’ Stone works. The Transformation Process would take one electron from Mercury to formulate Gold and the authors would have encoded the numbers ‘79’ and ‘80’ in rebus. The ‘80’ (usually depicted as a circle ‘0’ of ‘8’ things) would represent the 80th element of Mercury while the ‘79’ (usually depicted as ‘7’ and ‘9’ things) would represent the 79th element of Gold. That is what we are searching for and we begin our examination in search for rebus in a cross-cultural perspective on the Philosophers’ Stone. From there, we scrutinize a cross-cut of several ancient alchemy manuscripts. Finally, we return to the most famous Philosopher’s Stone manuscript, called the ‘Ripley Scroll’ and provide an overview of the variations of the use of rebus in its remaining copies. We show how all of these tenets are present in the Rosslyn Chapel. Enjoy the adventure! Most astoundingly, this booklet illustrates how Da Vinci's hidden secrets are deeply embedded in our most famous masterpieces! Read it today!
