  Equipment from the ‘Casa de destilar Aguas' (Escorial)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-27-2026, 02:18 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

"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 - 07-27-2026, 02:07 PM - 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 - 07-27-2026, 02:04 PM - 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.

  Distillation: the Alchemy of Separation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-27-2026, 01:45 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Distillation is far more than a technical process for concentrating alcohol—it is a foundational technology that transformed medicine, science, trade, colonialism, labor systems, and public health across five centuries. This article traces its evolution from medieval apothecaries to industrial-scale spirits production, analyzing measurable impacts on mortality rates, taxation policy, gender roles, and global commodity chains."

  Ars Bonita Open Call: Alchemy and Magic
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-27-2026, 01:41 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Alchemy & Magic is an immersive exhibition that draws on the rich visual language of ancient mysticism, celestial charts, and esoteric traditions. Featuring both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, the show transforms paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces into portals where matter becomes metaphor and imagination becomes ritual. Inspired by symbols like the ouroboros, constellations, sacred geometry, and elemental diagrams, the artists explore themes of transformation, awakening, and cosmic connection. Metallic surfaces, shifting light, and layered textures echo the alchemical process—burning, dissolving, recombining, and refining.

At its heart, Alchemy & Magic is a celebration of creative transmutation: the power of art to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary, and the visible into something profound and unseen.

Open to 2D and 3D Art. Artwork must be original.

This is an Open Call Opportunity."

  Prima Materia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-27-2026, 01:05 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Prima Materia is in Alchemy, the “First Matter,” the substance from which the Philosopher’s Stone is created, or even the stone itself. The Prima Materia is the material beginning and end of all things. It holds the seed of perfection."
