Motto: In sterquiliniis invenitur.
“In sterquiliniis invenitur” is an alchemical phrase from the Middle Ages that translates to “in filth it will be found”. It implies that what you need most is where you least want to look.
The concept is historically important, representing one of the oldest stories of mankind. Saint George and the Dragon, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Frodo and the Ring, Luke versus Darth Vader… they all had to find what they needed most by looking in the place that was darkest to them.
Another perspective is that what you need most is found where where you are the weakest. This idea was explored by the Swiss psychologist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung. This idea and it’s relationship to individual growth and development has been written about and lectured on by Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, among others.
This phrase directly applies to the field of forensics. To find truth, you have to explore the most difficult questions and find the answers through the rigorous scientific analysis of death. Sometimes the answers you need most are found where you least want to look.
