"Created by Robert M. Place, artist, scholar, and one of the most respected tarot historians working today, The Alchemical Tarot is not a themed novelty. It is a thesis. Place’s central argument — developed across decades of research and several editions of this deck — is that tarot and alchemy are not separate traditions that happen to share some imagery. They are expressions of the same underlying symbolic system, one that maps the transformation of the soul through a sequence of stages the alchemists called the Magnum Opus, the Great Work. The Fool’s journey through the Major Arcana is, in this reading, the same journey as lead becoming gold: a process of dissolution, purification, and rebirth that every seeker undertakes whether they name it alchemy or not."

"This talk is an introduction to The Alchemical Imagination by Eliza Swann, which traces the twelve stages outlined by George Ripley for creating the Philosopher’s Stone in the laboratory. Through this lens, the book reimagines alchemy as both a historical practice and a living, creative process—one that continues to unfold through art, consciousness, and transformation today.

Following the presentation, Eliza Swann will be available to sign copies of her new book The Alchemical Imagination, available for purchase at The 418 Project that night."

"In his engaging talk, [Robert Bartlett] guides us through the magical world of Western alchemical practice and the many ingenious methods used to simulate or produce gold. We journey from the ancient techniques of Egypt all the way to the experiments of Sir Isaac Newton. Along the way, we explore some of the most remarkable recipes developed by the adepts — from Corinthian bronze to mosaic gold. From shimmering gold tinctures to sophisticated herbo-metallic preparations, traditionally used to promote longevity"

Not specifically alchemical but an interesting read.

By the turn of the twentieth century, the occult had become one of Britain’s most compelling cultural obsessions, so long as it remained at a safe distance. The British public devoured occult fiction with morbid fascination. Novels and a wide spectrum of newspapers, from sensational popular papers such as John Bull, Morning Leader, and World Magazine, to metropolitan, provincial, and overseas titles including Eastbourne Gazette, Evening Dispatch, The Washington Times, and Civil Military Gazette, were filled with ghosts, séances, secret orders, and sinister magicians, turning occultism into a familiar cultural language.

Preorder is now open for Sean Jefferson’s The Alchymical Garden of Michael Foy.
It is a book for those who understand that images may be portals, landscapes may be grimoires, and strange beauty—when properly ensouled—may become a mode of initiation.

Inspired by the emblematic world of Splendor Solis, Jefferson’s Garden gathers fairies, poisonous plants, spirit presences, chthonic animals, Qabalistic pathways, Celtic survivals, and dream-born apparitions into an operative vessel of image and symbol. A visionary cycle of paintings and texts, the book unfolds as a distinctly British alchemical landscape: lush, dangerous, haunted, humorous, and spiritually alive.

Published in two highly limited editions, never to be reprinted.

Now available for preorder through Theion Publishing.
