  Wiki: The Brotherhood of Myriam
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-01-2024, 05:29 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The Kremmerzian Hermetic tradition, rooted in the works of Ciro Formisano (1861–1930), known as Giuliano Kremmerz, represents a unique blend of esotericism and therapeutics. Kremmerz's philosophy intertwines alchemical transmutation, mystical initiation, and a belief in human potential for spiritual and physical healing. His teachings emphasized the convergence of science, mysticism, and ancient traditions, advocating the practical application of esoteric knowledge."

"A trancelike feminist fable of magic, alchemy, and the battle of the sexes by Britain’s foremost surrealist painter. Calcination. Putrefaction. Exaltation. Trapped on an enchanted island ruled by her uncle, a young woman must pass through the stages of alchemical transformation to escape. He wants to conquer death by magic – and she may pay the price for his ambition."

  The Teachings of Sage Agastya

"While Siddha medicine and Ayurveda are both ancient healing systems, they have distinct philosophies and practices. Agastya’s teachings have influenced both systems. Both systems emphasize holistic well-being, but Siddha focuses more on alchemical processes and spiritual practices."

  Fiction: The Lady of the Tower
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-30-2024, 10:10 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In the shadow of impenetrable stone walls and its fearful reputation of torture and imprisonment, life inside the Tower of London was far from ordinary. But for one remarkable woman in the 17th century, the Tower wasn’t just a fortress—it was home, hospital, laboratory, and sanctuary. Elizabeth St. John's novel The Lady of the Tower brings to life the incredible story of Lady Lucy Apsley, who lived, worked, and raised a family within these forbidding walls for thirteen years. One of the Tower’s most famous prisoners during this period was Sir Walter Raleigh. Imprisoned for treason, Raleigh spent much of his time experimenting with alchemy – in Lady Apsley’s henhouse. The “Lady of the Tower” was intrigued by Raleigh’s work and encouraged his pursuit of the philosopher’s stone—not just as a quest for gold, but as a way to unlock deeper medical truths. The blending of alchemical experimentation with practical healing was a reflection of the Renaissance spirit of inquiry, where boundaries between disciplines blurred, and new knowledge emerged from unlikely sources."

  Video: Who was the First American Occultist?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 11-30-2024, 09:56 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"John Winthrop the Younger was a pioneering early Governor of the Connecticut Colony but also deeply learned in the occult philosophy, alchemy and Paracelsian Spagyric Medicine. So much so that he may well be regarded as the first true occultist in the American colonies. Cotton Mather even dubbed Winthrop "Hermes Christianus - the Christian Hermes." Taking with him books that once belonged to Dr. John Dee, a vast alchemical lab and deep knowledge of European Esotericism, Winthrop would attempt to create a Pansophist research institution in colonial America. He would also become famous for his medical practice before using his knowledge of the occult philosophy to greatly stall colonial Witch Hunts. And, as part of the "Alchemical Republic" - the first colonial member of the Royal Society - he would direct import Western Esotericism into America."
