When Fulcanelli Hints At The Alchemical Origin Of The Symbol Of The Rose-Cross 

"Today’s sharing from the Blue House of Via-Hygeia presents two key excerpts from Fulcanelli’s masterworks: Le Mystère des Cathédrales (Pauvert-1979, pp. 137–139) and Les Demeures Philosophales, Volume 1, Book II, Chapter II (Pauvert-1979, pp. 338-363). Presented here is a Via-HYGEIA English translation from the original French. We did not include the heavy body of notes, as they would have diverted our focus from these two mesmerizing texts, which speak eloquently for themselves. Comprehensive notes can be found in all common French and English editions."

"The illustration depicts the Prima Materia (First Matter) as a female figure being attacked and dissolved by volatile elements, symbolized by a dragon and serpents. This represents the stage of putrefaction and transformation in the Great Work. Location: Biblioteca dell'Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei e Corsiniana, Rome, Italy."

A good basic survey.

"Alchemical symbols are among the most visually striking and symbolically rich in the Western esoteric tradition. They encode a complete cosmological and psychological system in a visual language of extraordinary elegance. In this guide, we explore three of the most fundamental alchemical symbols: the Four Elements, the Ouroboros, and the Philosopher's Stone — along with the broader symbolic vocabulary of the alchemical tradition."

"We cover the history of Alchemy briefly, what it is, the goals, symbolism inside of alchemical texts/images, planetary alignments, and the relation of the elements to Sekhem/Sekmet healing."

"This thesis seeks to show that there were alchemical writings associated with women from Italy, France, the Swiss Cantons and England which originated in the period 1560 to 1616, and that these writings were read, translated, circulated, and referred to, at least up to 1660. The main evidence is provided by case studies: a printed book of secrets by Isabella Cortese (Venice, 1561); a sequence of late sixteenth and early seventeenth century manuscripts associated with Madame de la Martinville and Quercitan’s daughter (Jeanne du Port); and material, including an alchemical receipt book, associated with Lady Margaret Clifford (1560-1616). Supporting evidence suggests these women represent a wider participation of women in philosophical and practical alchemy, and adds to the evidence for evaluating women's participation in early modern philosophy and science. Women apparently read and wrote about alchemy, and assisted its diffusion through their work."
