The first A Legacy of Heresy t-shirt is The Hermetic Heretic himself, Paracelsus. He was steeped in reforming the medical field in the 16th century. He is known as the father of toxicology and wrote about demonology and the occult. He even wrote his own magical alphabet around the time the Enochian Keys were created! He used his Alphabet of the Magi to craft sigils and talismans for use in his treatments.
His motto was ‘Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest’ which translates to: Let no man belong to another who can belong to himself. It speaks to the Satanists celebration of individualism; We are our own God after all.

T-Shirt Design
The front of the shirt is a take on the 1538 portrait by Augustin Hirschvogel. His face is surrounded in a sigil with Paracelsus’ Alphabet of the Magi spelling out ‘The Hermetic Heretic’. The back is framed with the Speak of the Devil icon and the A Legacy of Heresy logo. Within is Paracelsus’ name and birth-death year above his motto as mentioned above
