Games and interactions
Here’s your chance! Test your own magical abilities and discover what you’re made of.
Alchemy and science
Science stands for the explainable, magic for the inexplicable. Alchemy is considered the precursor to modern chemistry. Many think that the philosopher’s stone is an invention of the Harry Potter world, but it is actually part of the history of alchemy.
Astrology and the Universe
Our bodies are made up of the same chemical elements as stardust. Even the Hermetic world view emphasised a connection between humans and the universe. Astrology looks at how the stars help to explain the inexplicable part of our personalities. What do the stars say about you?
Pendulum and singing bowl
Spiritual intelligence is one of the nine forms of intelligence. It includes the ability to recognise meaning and deep connections in order to shape one’s own life more consciously and maintain inner stability. It has a positive effect on mental health and creativity. The pendulum serves as a tool to help you listen to your inner self more effectively. The singing bowl makes water dance when you are in harmony.
Cultures and power places
Traditionally, magic can be found in all peoples and cultures. Our quiz tests your knowledge of traditions and holidays. Whether it’s Chinese New Year, celebrated by around 20% of the world’s population, the Easter Bunny, originally the companion of the Celtic goddess Ostara, or the Christmas tree – we question everything.
The History of Witches
When most people think of witches, they think of witch hunts or the image that was created of them at that time. But the history of witches goes back much further. Among other things, they were the precursors of modern medicine. How did women who practised healing suddenly become servants of the devil?
Myths and fairy tales
Where do artistic visions and creative ideas come from? Where do the imaginative dreams we experience at night originate? Are myths and fairy tales mere fantasy or encrypted memories of reality?
World of illusions
