This is the second part of the "Prague Walking Tour the Crowning Path of the Bohemian Kings" tour. If you have never participated in a Symbolika tour, we recommend that you book the first part.
Do not miss this second one, where we will be accompanied by alchemy, magic, astrology, the Rosicrucians, the devil's bible (Codex Gigas) and the Vojinich code, with the characters who inhabited the city and the court during the end of XVI and the beginning of the XVII century. such as: Sendivogius, Maier, Hajek, Rudolph II, Arcimboldo, John Dee, Edward Kelley, Giordano Bruno, Tycho de Brahe and Keplero!
From the Charles Bridge in Mala Strana we will head towards the apex of the white phase, inside the castle, when we will enter the cathedral of San Vito, the coronation place of kings.
Charles Bridge is the monument that most represents the city of Prague in the world and is a large medieval work of 515 meters in length. Its two entrances are protected by beautiful gothic towers, one of which is even divided into esoteric planes superimposed on each other, from the material one (linked to the planet earth), to the astral one (the moon), the spiritual one (the sun). and divine (the universe). For further protection of the bridge there are some palindromes, one of which is numerical and derived from the exact time and date of the deposition of the first stone. Its mainly baroque statues, according to the Jesuits who began to finance them, had to recreate the evocative atmosphere of the Sant'Angelo bridge in Rome. We will talk about some of the most famous legends of the bridge, starting from that of St. John of Nepomuk, from that of the "Bruncvik" or the hidden Templar treasure. The crossing of the Vltava represents the change of alchemical phase and the entry into the albedo.
Mala Strana square. Founded in the 13th century, this small city of the sub-castle first became a German colony, was almost entirely destroyed by the worst fire in the history of Prague and, in the 16th century, began to be rebuilt in the Renaissance and then in the Baroque style. Peaceful corner of the city center, it hosts many embassies and also presents interesting esoteric-symbolic ideas that we can admire in places such as the church of San Nicola, the Jesuit obelisk with its eye in the triangle, the many ancient signs of original houses ( not a few of a symbolic nature and related to alchemy).
Church of St. Nicholas of Mala Strana. This greatest masterpiece of the Baroque architects Dientzenhofer and Lurago, like every Christian church, betrays, in the external and internal architecture even before the decoration, unequivocal proportions and references to Christian symbolism, which in turn reconnects us to a language that communicates with our unconscious. . It is interesting to discover the etymology of the name of the saint in question, St. Nicholas, whose repetition we find in the image of one of the most famous popular fictional characters of our childhood.
