In the past few years, many books have appeared dedicated to the Moscow underground and its contribution to modern culture. This book addresses an even more mysterious dimension of the underground, which remains beyond the boundaries of culture, which addresses only the manifest. This is a mystical impulse, perceived by the most refined souls and refracted by them in the form of strange works of art and an unusual way of life, which were little known and incomprehensible not only to ordinary people, but also to many representatives of the underground itself. The reader again meets those known to him from the book “One Step Through the Looking Glass "of the agnostic Master Ji and his students Kasyan and Gury in acute circumstances associated with risk not only for the body, but also for the soul. Those who wish to get acquainted with the Athanor school can use the information on the last page. The book used engravings from alchemical treatises 16th-17th centuries, courtesy of Bibliotheca Philisophica Hermetica, Amsterdam. Engravings reproduced with permission of the library.
