Seven Years on the path
Hello! I’m Remiel.
I am a visual artist with a strong passion for philosophy and spiritual knowledge, currently studying in Bucharest. I like to write, watch and read sci-fi/ fantasy series, cook and spend time outside with friends and family.
Since 2014, I’ve practiced and studied different types of divination, alchemy, and philosophy in an attempt to understand our shared experience of this world.
Here are the ideas, inspiration, and techniques that help me along the way, art concepts, and resources for a creative and spiritually rich way of life.
Of Joy And Glory
Emperor Cyleron II risks losing his life, throne and only son when a self-proclaimed hero comes to “get rid of the evil empire” and avenge the Elder of the Fall – his supposed past incarnation of 4000 years ago.
The Dark Mother’s blessing helped the Elders build a world of prosperity and progress, until they used it for war and destruction on a planetary scale. Now high magic is all but forgotten, and the Great Houses are only a shadow of their past. But as tensions grow and a bloodthirsty mercenary plans the Dark Mother’s return, Cyleron must prevent a large scale war before the horrors of the past can return to destroy everything humanity built.
The Mission
Ancient Wisdom, modern times.
Magic has a place in a science-dominated world, and they don’t have to be at odds.
There are ways to live the brightness and intensity of a spiritual, meaningful existence while fully enjoying the modern, fast-paced, evidence-based life. In fact, many people balance those two without thinking twice about it.
We’re surrounded by so many possibilities, yet it’s almost impossible to find something we truly resonate with, something that really makes us express who we are better, louder, and clearer. It’s sometimes difficult to even put our feelings and opinions into words, but it doesn’t have to be. Here I share things that helped me in my quest to make the most of every trip around the Sun, and hope they will help you too.

Instant Gratification, Distant Problems
Instant gratification means having something you want right now, as opposed to waiting for a potentially better future option. One marshmallow now instead of two later is creating problems down the line in many ways. Relationships, self-worth and mental health also tend to suffer from impulsivity, not only finances. What is time preference? Time preference, […]

Advanced Pendulum Divination – Get Better Readings
Pendulums as a spiritual tool This is a form of dowsing that gained significant popularity due to its simplicity and mobility- it’s much easier to improvise and adapt to many challenges that plague other popular divination methods, such as tarot decks (metaphysical arguments aside, cards are very sensitive to dust and grime, and basically impossible […]
What makes a good plot twist
Some of the best and worst endings ever were intended as plot twists. Books and movies can be ruined by not being innovative and surprising or being surprising in the wrong way. At their best, plot twists keep the viewer invested, curious, convey a message and teach a lesson about expectations and points of view, […]
A cure for overwhelm
Sometimes everything around and inside piled up in the wrong way. This feeling comes to our daily lives as a sense of wanting to take a break so desperately that we’d abandon everything, wanting to postpone everything until we finish the task at hand to get a sense of control, or even as eating disorders and […]
