Ulrich Ruosch – Four Elements, “Das Alchemiehandbuch des Appenzeller Wundarztes“, 17th century.
Ulrich Ruosch was a Paracelsian surgeon from Switzerland who produced a beautiful manual which captures the world of 17th-century Alchemy, rife as it is with meaningful connections between the Planets and the Metals and the operations of Cosmic Forces in the sublunary world of the four Elements.
Ignis is symbolized by pure Fire, and Aqua by sailing vessel crossing the Sea has been used, with more vessels in the background. Aer is purely symbolized by clouds, but for Terra, a rather charming scene of a lush wooded landscape is used. This is a subtle stylistic reference to the correspondence of the Elements with the Strata of the Universe: the Upper Stratum is Fire (Ignis), the Middle Stratum is Air (Aer), while the Earth (Terra) belongs to the Lower Stratum, as does Water (Aqua).

Dorothea: What is that?
Abbie: It’s The Raincoats.
Dorothea: Can’t things just be pretty?
Jamie: Pretty music is used to hide how unfair and corrupt society is.
Dorothea: Ah, okay so… they’re not very good, and they know that, right?
Abbie: Yeah, it’s like they’ve got this feeling, and they don’t have any skill, and they don’t want skill, because it’s really interesting what happens when your passion is bigger than the tools you have to deal with it. It creates this energy that’s raw. Isn’t it great?

Why Do Some People Always Get Lost?
“Results like these suggest that an individual’s life experience may be one of the biggest determinants of how well they navigate. Indeed, experience may even underlie one of the most consistent findings—and clichés—in navigation: that men tend to perform better than women. Turns out this gender gap is more a question of culture and experience than of innate ability.”
