THE TRIA PRIMA IN THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL GUYS YOURE GONNA NEED TO LEARN UP ON YOUR ALCHEMY

THE TRIA PRIMA IN THE MAGNUS PROTOCOL GUYS YOURE GONNA NEED TO LEARN UP ON YOUR ALCHEMY

Okay. In this logo we see three alchemy symbols [ignoring the many in the background]. These three are Salt, Mercury, and Sulfur. They make up something in alchemy known as the Tria Prima, which represents the three “states” all matter is in [because back when alchemy was a big thing, people didn’t all know about the periodic elements]. These states and my theories:

Sulfur is the soul and combustible matter [Desolation aligned?] Mercury is the spirit and change/volatility [spiral?] Salt is the body and solid unchanging matter [not combustible nor volatile]

So then I start theorizing on what these animals mean. Unicorns in alchemy are representative of Mercury, but what’s curious is that lions (the green lion) is said to be consuming the sun, which in Jungian theory is meant to represent human consciousness being overwhelmed by desires and something about madness and the Ego? To be quite honest I’m not too well versed in Jung so these are just some of the interpretations I found. The RED lion however is supposed to be some kind of already tamed desires, or a combination of Mercury and Sulfur.

Unicorns = Mercury, Green lion = Human desires

And of course as you can google, non vacillabimus translates to “We will not falter”, and O.I.A.R. stands for Office of Incident Assessment and Response, where Alice and Sam work.

Feel free to correct me on any of this, I’m just autistic and theorizing.

Did anyone get here in the ARG yet or am I just really behind?

EDIT: I found this by taking all of the missing letters from words on the “Night Shift” page on the official O.I.A.R. website.

there i did it, please argue with me my perception of these things is not great

WWATTober Day 2: “Ceiling Stars”

In this one I tried to get a little better with lighting, it’s just generally been something I’ve been working on in my art lately. It’s fairly simple but I think it’s good background practice.
