Latin, The European Language
The European Union is a gigantic unfinished project, a job half done, left at the mercy of the banks and with little attention to its citizens. If you don’t believe it, just try to move out.

The correct execution of Rituals is the basis of our Tradition
The white linen dress on the skin. Scent of incense while the sacred flame burns on the lararium. Powerful invocation formulas on an ancient melody.

A Travel toward Neoplatonic Mysticism: Gemistus Plethon (XV)
