"Did Angel Magic give us the Internet? In around 1499 Johann Trithemius began combining alchemical theory, astrology, the combatory arts and angel magic into a vast occult system by which to rapidly transmit information, acquire languages, induce prophecy and illuminate the soul. He called this occult science the Ars Steganographia and he was condemned for it. Despite rumors that he was a vile necromancer, Trithemius would continue his studies: founding arcane modern cryptology, tutoring Agrippa as he developed the Occult Philosophy, inspiring the development of the Lesser Key of Solomon, uncovering the astral cycles of history and much more. Let's explore the Ars Steganographia!"

"The study of ‘Alchemy in English Literature’ is a well-established field in academia (see the works of Stanton Linden, Lyndy Abraham, and Charles Nicholl for excellent examples of work in this niche). John Granger in his Hidden Key to Harry Potter (2002) used the phrase “literary alchemy” both to distinguish hermetic imagery in drama, poetry, and story from the glyphs, colours, and sequences in metallurgical alchemy texts and simultaneously to explain how the esoteric lab work images became the stage setting stuff and substance of imaginative literature."

MA Thesis: Through the Alchemical Looking Glass. An Interpretation of Stephan Michelspacher's Cabala: Spiegel der Kunst und Natur, in Alchymia concerning the Tincture of the Alchemists
By Alinda van Ackooy
"Due to the richness of its illustrations, the details of the engravings in the Cabala are often discussed in works on the symbolism of alchemical emblems. This thesis aims at presenting evidence that the Cabala is not to be interpreted as a psychological, spiritual or Christological work, but as a practical guideline for the alchemical transmutation, particularly in relation to Paracelsus' The Treasure of Treasures for Alchemists."
