Many cosmogonies see the creation as a hierogamy, a non-dualist cosmogonic mytheme. It can also be found in alchemical engraving books, used in reference to one of the stages of the process, represented in iconography. In that phase, a woman and a man have sexual intercourse, like in the Rosarium Philosophorum. This iconographic type portrays a non-dual worldview, according to which the world needs to link both primary poles. This is achieved with resources inherent to visual art. Alchemy stands out as one of the few currents with a strong non-dual factor in Western schools. Subsequent artists were influenced by this iconography and the ideas represented in it, such as William Blake and surrealists like Leonora Carrington. It is also relevant as one of the most predominant motifs in the style of Andrei Tarkovsky, omnipresent in his work. It is in his last film, The Sacrifice, in which the alchemical universe is most present. In this film, the world is threatened by an apocalyptic Third World War, but a sexual ritual perhaps might reverse the crisis.

This article is devoted to the search of the traces of the Jewish conception of the cosmological and mystical celestial tabernacle and the temple in the architectural symbolism of the Christian church represented in the Syriac sugitha and the Greek kontakion dedicated to the churches of Hagia Sophia in Edessa and Constantinople. These texts are characterised by the presence of an idea of the “bridal chamber” and by the re-comprehension of the mystical conceptions of an “animate architecture”, which leads to the the merging the boundaries between the architecture of the church and the soul, interpreted as a “little church,” which will be later developed in detail by Maximus the Confessor in his Mystagogia. Therefore, in the concluding part this work of St. Maximus is taken into consideration, where one can find the continuation of the Jewish-Christian mystical and theological conceptions, which in the writings of this author were interlaced with the Neo-Platonic and Neo-Pythagorean theories. By the numerological symbolism inherent in these theories Maximus the Confessor, probably, incorporated his conception of the soul representing the church into the general cosmological symbolism.
这篇文章致力于寻找犹太人的宇宙论和神秘的天体龛和寺庙概念的痕迹，在叙利亚的sugitha和希腊的kontakion中，基督教会的建筑象征主义代表了埃德萨和君士坦丁堡的圣索菲亚教堂。这些文本的特点是“洞房”概念的存在，以及对“有生命的建筑”神秘概念的重新理解，这导致了教堂建筑和灵魂之间的界限的融合，被解释为一个“小教堂”，后来由Maximus the Confessor在他的《神秘》中详细发展。因此，在结论部分，圣马克西姆斯的作品被考虑在内，在那里人们可以发现犹太-基督教神秘主义和神学概念的延续，这些概念在这位作者的作品中与新柏拉图主义和新毕达哥拉斯理论交织在一起。通过这些理论中固有的数字象征主义，忏悔者马克西姆斯可能将他的灵魂代表教会的概念纳入了一般的宇宙象征主义。

The present article focuses on the festivities held between the 1860s and 1914 in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown, which were associated with various construction phases of buildings important for the Czech speaking society (especially the laying of the foundation stone and the opening ceremony). These festivities lie somewhere between the artificially constructed concepts of "high" and "low", "the elite" and "the people", and between "folk" and "mass" culture. The study aims to show that without the people, without an audience, these festivities would not be celebrations but just elite parties. Therefore, the nature of these festivals was primarily popular, as evidenced by many details, including their character, the accompanying theatre plays and souvenir items. The festivities and the whole idea of the National Theatre in Prague are examined in the first part of the article, which is followed by examples from other parts of the Czech lands and finally, medals, postcards and promotional brochures are discussed.

This paper analyses the military use of holy relics, images, and other Christian apotropaic devices in the Roman-Persian wars. I examine a wide range of literary evidence from the 4th to the 7th century exploring where, why, and how different Christian objects were used in military contexts. Moreover, I consider different factors, as the local religious practices or the rivalry between the Christian Roman Empire and Zoroastrian Persia. I argue that the earliest military uses of relics and holy images happened in the context of the Roman-Persian conflict and frontier region, and that, during the 4th-7th centuries, these uses were much more common there than anywhere else. Also, that some local practices of this region could have been adopted by military officers and the Imperial elite. I propose that three factors could explain this: First, the intensity of the cult of relics and images in Syria and the Near East. Second, the growing identification of the Roman Empire as a Christian power between the 4th and 7th centuries. Finally, the Roman-Persian conflict and the climate of religious confrontation that grew over the course of the Byzantine-Sassanian wars.
