  Willard: Paracelsus on Mental Health
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 4 hours ago - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The man who styled himself Paracelsus (1483-1541) lived a turbulent life in turbulent times. Vastly ambitious, he professed a new therapeutic that was at once Christian and Germanic. Developed in dozens of treatises that cover fourteen stout volumes in the standard edition of his medical and philosophical works,1 it was specifically Christian because based on a view of Man and Nature that he found in the Bible and preached in lay sermons.2 In this view, God created diseases and remedies as part of Nature, the diseases had natural causes, and the cures were revealed to Man over time. By the end of time, which Paracelsus thought was fast approaching, all cures would be known, and they would be natural ones. The good physician only appeared to work wonders."

The Alchemy of Glass Counterfeit, Imitation, and Transmutation in Ancient Glassmaking

Marco Beretta

2009


"The book illustrates how glass played and important role in ancient technical and alchemical literature, and how the chemical operations devised to improve glass making inspired alchemists to better define the theoretical boundaries of their discipline and, more specifically, the notion of transmutation."

  Equipment from the ‘Casa de destilar Aguas' (Escorial)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 4 hours ago - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Here is an image of the reconstructions we have made of some of the alchemical instruments that were used in the ‘Casa de destilar Aguas’ at the Monastery Palace of El Escorial. They were funded by Philip II, with advice from Cardinal Granvelle, who brought in technicians from Naples and the Netherlands to carry out the work. Other technicians, such as Richard Stanihurst, were also present, training the local master distillers. Full details can be found at: JOSÉ RODRÍGUEZ GUERRERO, (2024-2026), «El Uso y Experiençia de las Mediçinas (1593), un desconocido vademécum de Richard Stanihurst para la administración de sus fármacos en la Corte de Madrid», Azogue, 10, 2024-2026, pp. 578-617pp. 578-617.Available in: https://revistaazogue.com/numero-10/ "

  The Alchemy of Education
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 4 hours ago - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Education, in its highest philosophical sense, is not the passive transfer of information from one container to another. It is the alchemical awakening of the human soul. It is teaching the mind to contemplate the cosmos with awe, the heart to feel the suffering of others with deep compassion, and the spirit to stand unbowed against the storms of life."

  Music: Alchemical Enneagram by Leon Berg
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 4 hours ago - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"This material describes an ancient, alchemical system of personal evolution known as the Enneagram: The Path of Accelerated Transformation. Unlike modern personality-based interpretations, this original version—rooted in the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett—functions as a "perpetual motion machine" designed to generate love and "create soul".

ALCHEMICAL WORKS, 2018–2024
Ceramic and bronze works

This group of ceramic and bronze works draws on Jungian psychology, mythological imagery and 16th- and 17th-century illustrated alchemical manuscripts. Some works borrow directly from alchemical diagrams and texts, while others fold symbolic forms into one another: eggs become vessels, vessels become bodies, and breasts become sources of nourishment, incubation and transformation.
