Symbols, Signs and Icons

The Old Town Bridge Tower is not  the only one of the gothic structure, who comunicate to those who know how to read symbols and signs... Charles IV and his architetc Petr Parleř,  designed the tower not only for beauty. Once you discover the secrets and reasons of symbols, signs, icons and... magical practices used in places touched by mysterious forces and Prague is no exception, you will get another point of view of the things happened and happening around us.

Haunted town

Prague one of the most haunted and supernatural city of all cities of Europe. Over the centuries Prague has been the scene of plagues, pogroms, countless wars, invasions by foreign armies, mass executions.
Consequences: Dark energies still may reside at these places around us...
Many people believe that these types of traumatic occurences leave behind energy traces and Prague has a lot of these. Many residents and visitors strongly feel the energy currents of the city. I love to investigate where for many years was a meeting point for alchemists and astrologers during the reign of Emperor Rudolf II. The architecture of Prague is covered in arcane esoteric symbols which can reveal secret gothic lore to those who know how to read them!

Earthly

My long dream has finished. Nevertheless I realized to beying caught from the forces of ~Ł'altrα Þaяte~. In the recent days I wished to see the place where the dream took the stage, an incredible real experience.
From Střelecký Island I had a nice view. I was sitting on a bench, and stare at the ancient, stone, Charles Bridge.
It was rained recentlly as I walked on the wet land, and the Vltava was still stormy. Suddenly the wind increased as the leaf's rustling... sighs surrounds me, creepy voices. I thought I was alone in this desert island in a cold evening of February.

But I should be calm because Earthly is where we live, where should be real, where death and sin and ordinary life should be themes.

Too bad that this is wrong! Earthly does not exist right here!

Stay there

I finally woke up, the dream is over. I make sure I am living in reality in our ordinary life.

The haunted bridge, the trap in Kampa and all those abnormal, unknown presences diseppeared from my side.

I stare the street from the window, I see people, normal persons, finally.

But suddenly a chill gust of wind shook the lamp. I look up to the ceiling, and I see a black light spreading like a stain, that is killing slowly the daylight.

I ran up to the mansard, sit in my bed and just close my eyes convince myself that somebody from~Ł'altrα Þaяte~has chosen me...

Stay there, you'll live!

Walking toward reality

Walking toward the stone bridge, every step forward is heavy even I feel the bridge is collapsing behind me.

The dark energies haunts the bridge as I can feel it. Dark presences is here... abnormal creatures, demons or restless souls, as the drowned Saint...

I can see the Old Town Bridge Tower standing in front of me, but it seems I can't get it closer to me, as I can't go away from my damned dream. The last time I have seen the tower was yesterday night in the wall next to my bed, in my place, not so far from the Charles Bridge in reality.

Dream is not over

Cursed...

in a dream, with no hope of release unless mysteriouse forces comes to take me away from here.

I look at the Old Town Bridge Tower. For ten long years was horribly decorated with the heads of Czech noblemen who were executed at the Old Town Square on 21, June, 1621. It's like I see them hanged on the top at the side of the Lesser Town, Malá Strana.
>And then some movements distract my eye from the tower. It seemed I saw the statues of Charles Bridge moving in the dark, maybe they really protect the children of Kampa Island, as the legend has it.
>Something in the water is swimming, it seemed I saw a strange green creature with a human body and the head of fish. -Vodník is you! an evil creature connected to the Bohemian Folklore, he wear a top-hat and tail-coat. He use to collect the souls of the drowned persons and keep them into glass cruets on the river bottom. According to the story, he can stand out of water just for short times, attracting passersby especially young girls to the bank of the Vltava and drown them.

Trapped in Kampa

I can't be sure how much time has passed since I am walking in Kampa... as I said the dream goes on and it seems never ends. No one clock is visible around me. In the real life I should already see the sun light rising, and light up the Island and the Charles Bridge. But the sky is always dark and I can hear only the moving water of the Vltava and Čertovka the stream of the devil.

As time went by I am feeling different, powerful, individualist and fascinating.

...serenity in my new dark world.

Far from our world

In my dream Im running across Kampa Island, under the stone bridge. I run following the light before the darkness catch me...

My dream is cursed, as the golden town was in his past cursed by the presences of the devil and demons...

during my walk I found a book under a bench: 77 legends of Prague, It tells more about this damn dream so real, and that seems never ends. I should come through this and going out from this hellish.

The dream goes on

The stage is always at night time and I feel like a vampire, walking downtown: there is no people along the streets, also the Old Town and Mala Strana are empty, and the city is all mine or maybe not...
