Tabula Rasa
After many seasons since the original EP, the time is right to return to Trismegistus Hex. With a change of focus and line-up from the initial scope, the project will now encompass musical meanderings and experiments beyond the expectations of Ritual Ambience.

Et in Arcadia ego

A Shortcut to Gnosis
Fresh from the positive reception of published debut “The Womb of the Wyrm“, Equinox kindly requested a second story.

Once more, I would submit my prose in English, and…
