Nine months in utero is akin to three turns of mercury around the sun. Perhaps this thrice-great gestation, blessing from our most fleet-footed planetary neighbour, is an invitation, in time, for us all to become alchemists.

Can a deepening understanding of the wily and wisdom-filled ways of mercury shed light upon the shadows of our ignorance, help us to rarefy subtle from gross, and uncover the mysteries of 'being human'?

Guises of Hermes/Mercurius will accompany our explorations, together with insights gleaned from the objective, universal 'ever-true' arts of the quadrivium.

Daniel Docherty is co-founder and senior tutor at SAOG Studios, a practice-based arts studio focussing on research and short courses exploring the practice and philosophy of sacred geometry and the quadrivial arts. He is a visiting tutor on the MA programme of the King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts. He lives in the heart of the Ashdown Forest with his family.
