My translation for Adam's Magnum Opus series is now available in paperback from Amazon.


The Aurora consurgens is one of the most important of early alchemical manuscripts.

Created around the early 15th century it interwove spiritual, allegorical and material alchemy.

It used a series of 38 coloured emblems to illustrate its ideas, some of which are so striking that they have become well known even outside the realm of alchemical enthusiasts.

The earliest manuscript has become damaged and incomplete and a number of these images are missing. For this edition, the complete text has been newly translated by Paul Ferguson from the printed Latin versions. The edition of the Aurora consurgens by von Franz issued in 1966 left out the whole of Book Two and did not include the illustrations, so this Magnum Opus edition finally allows the work to be viewed as the author intended it.

"Although he rejected alchemy, famously describing alchemists as ignorant and misguided, his advancements in distillation had significant alchemical influence, particularly inspiring later figures like John of Rupecissa."

"Unlike most other studies of alchemy and literature, which focus on alchemical imagery in poetry of specific periods or writers, this book traces the figure of the alchemist in Western literature from its first appearance in the Eighth Circle of Dante's Inferno down to the present."

"Svarog holds a significant place in Slavic mythology as the god of fire and the forge. Revered as a celestial blacksmith, he embodies the essential duality of creation and transformation. This article aims to delve into the alchemical aspects of Svarog, exploring how his influence transcends the mythological realm and permeates the lives of those who embrace his teachings."

"The Art card, known as Temperance in traditional decks, embodies the sacred process of alchemy—melding opposites into a unified whole. Unlike mere moderation, this is an active transformation where raw forces are refined into something greater. Traditionally depicted as an angel or an alchemist pouring liquid between vessels, the card illustrates the fusion of fire and water, passion and wisdom, chaos and order. One foot on land and one in water signifies the fluid dance between the material and spiritual realms, while the distant path toward the rising sun symbolizes the journey toward enlightenment."
