Rising a stone by magic, welcome to operational masonry
A line and a key zaps Ben Franklin
Cement is a recipe
Reflected strings and movable pulleys are underneath emblematic symbols
When a ladder was really a sled
A kite floating on waves is a tetrahedral
There’s nothing occult about wind lifting stone
Each face can serve as the base
See the highest point on every side
The number 6 is a beautiful flower
It is a duplicate 3 that creates a horizontal midpoint on the equator, somewhere
The ancient Egyptian hieroglyph that looks like an A is a tool that shapes soil
You can find this among the trade secrets in the history of cranes or the beaker god, or better yet, Seshat, the mistress of the architects
The first gods were animals, search for the cultures who wore the leopard skin to trace the origin of our cognition
Natural glass, magnets and meteorites are unusual. There is some jewelry that emits a charge as a radioactive amulet, an occult power that becomes an actual curse
so I heard
There is a hopping base line on a circular drum pad
I discover a type of pattern in geometry that involves rebounds within a circle
How spooky this is?
It’s not scary, it’s just geometry
We can use these lines to reframe our superstition with other words
Recognize the vampire is nothing but a tapeworm in the brain
That is how garlic acts against vampires
