Appendix C: Suggested Areas of Research The following information is included to support certain passages and references from Atlantis, Alien Visitation, and Genetic Manipulation. The rise of Alchemy (Magic) was not an accident or an event which happened simultaneously in Europe and elsewhere as part of the erstwhile movement of the times, as has been put before us by modern his- torians. Almost all of the so-called alumni of Alchemy were under royal patronage and were members of occult societies, such as the Rosicrucians and Masons. Many were instrumental in creating the educa- tional and governmental edifices which came into existence in the post Industrial epoch. A cursory observation of some of the details in the biographies of these magi reveals suggestive information wor- thy of deeper investigation. Of special note is the fact that almost all of them existed and operated between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries about the time when the portal to the “Macrobes” or “Cosmocraters” was opened by the Serpent Brotherhood. We forget that most of the pre-Industrial sci- entists were occultists and had written on astrology, demonology, and magic. Many were metallurgists. The quaint Medieval imagery of the sorcerer in his garret, the alchemist in his test-tube filled laboratory is a romantic smoke-screen behind which lies a very interesting tale that finally needs telling. ¢ Henry Cornellius Agrippa (1486-1535) — Wrote De Occulta in 1510. He was known to have set up a network of secret societies and spies across Europe. He was characterized by Christopher Marlowe we Te ene Tae neeen e Elias Ashmole (1617-1692) — Founder of the Ashmole Museum at Oxford. Historian of the Order of the Garter and member of the so-called “Invisible College,” which later became the Royal Society, or so we are told.
