Artifactum haunts my dreams... like portals to other worlds, they are like doors to be opened, more than just images to be viewed.
I see images; I hear strange, ancient music, of a pentatonic character.
Had to find some way to share this dream... fired up my old computer with 3D imaging software... this is as close I as I could get to what I saw, where I went...

Dear ProfessorMagicJMG,

It seems that we make the same dreams,
At least The Artefactum haunts me as well !
For the anecdote, I was so intrigued by its origins that I said to myself, why not ask directly the question about its origin to the Book of Doors itself ?
So I did it !
I opted for a 3 cards spread / meditation and what I discovered is above all my expectations !!!
I will share my discoveries with « the Moon Collective », but I can already say that, indeed, I heard an old song too.
In fact, I even witnessed, during this « trip », about ten harpists playing this song, in the yard of a scottish castle, with a beautiful lady singing in Gaellic … I embraced that moment with wonder !

The Book of Doors is a source of Wonder and, as Sir Francis Bacon said, Wonder is the seed of Knowledge !

You forgot its 4th dimension: the magical realms to which the doorways of the Artifactum lead!

Ah yes TH1, that's why I only put width & height, it's depth has yet been obtained or fully discovered, only pondered within the tranquil enlightenment of its unfathomed abyss......😉

Few months ago, during one of my travel through the doorways of the Artifactum, I met Euler and Râmânujan ,the two famous mathematicians. I asked them if they knew the dimensions of the Artefactum. After they thought about it, they gave me their answer. I still not believe it !
Their answer is a beautiful and incredible formula : e^(i.π)/12 with e standing for "enlightment" and I for "imagination" !

The Artifactum is one of the best investments in magic effects I have done so far. The book alone is probably worth the price of the whole thing, and the Homunculus in flask is definitely a masterpiece on its own. I just can't figure out yet what to do with the black and orange cards, the ones that resemble a mirror of sorts. I probably have a creative blockage or missed something in the instructions?

The Alchemical Artefactum Pentatonic Reading System was a .pdf that, if I recall correctly, Chris had made available to purchasers of the AA. I have used a variation of that in which one of the mirror cards is included as a possible choice, the outcome of which can be accessed through meditation by the spec. In effect, it is a call for the spectator to "look within" for the answer they are seeking already lies inside of them. If you do not have that .pdf, feel free to send me a DM and I'll have you prove you own the AA and I will send it to you.

Great to see this amazing piece of work is still living amongst some of us!

Yes I love my whole set & table ! After reading this I just popped back to Christopher's Artefactum podcast & gave it a listen, wonderful words & stories by the master himself !

I use those mirror cards for spec to quietly ponder whispers of the inner verse.

Yes, David,that is a very generous offer, indeed.

I'll have to re-listen to the podcast, as well.

I agree, that is a generous offer. I DM'd you to prove ownership of the Artifactum.
