If Willy Wonka brewed hazies instead of chocolate, this would be the result. 🍭

Verdict: POUR.

I can now openly identify myself as a Golden Dawn Theoricus. Work!

$Another fine example comes from Zacharias Traber's (1611-1679) beautifully illustrated classic of optics (and physiological optics) , Nervus Opticus sive Tractatus Theoricus..., published in Vienna in 1690. Traber is a great collector and synthesizer of the work done during and before his time, using the work of Descartes, Kepler, Schott, Kircher, Scheiner and Aguilon (for example), and then further implementing their ideas especially in the areas of color theory and light refraction. The image certainly reflects Jesuit Traber's religious training, depicting the holy source of light (originating with the almighty force) which directs it to the sun; the light then is left to the inquisitive and playful hands of cherubs who reflect and magnify it, as well as use it to start a fire (from the condensing lens) and observe it through a telescope. The main cherub empties a sack containing a number of different optical tools, no doubt for the playful brethern beneath.$

Yesterday evening i attended Clwyd College #SRIA. We had a Requiem for a Frater, a Theoricus grade, and a very interesting talk titled “Triskaidekaphobia or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the number thirteen”.

I think you have to factor in Elmo's animating force. He clearly can't be killed by ordinary means, and I'd be surprised if Major was ranked any more than a 3rd or 4th rank Hermetic Theoricus.
