The Lost Secrets of Alchemical Symbolism – Enrollment Now Open

For centuries, alchemical symbols have concealed profound wisdom, accessible only to those who possess the key to their meaning. This course is the key.

Right now, you have a rare opportunity to learn the true language of alchemy—before the doors close and the price increases.

If you’ve ever felt that the deeper mysteries of alchemy were just out of reach, that the symbols in ancient texts were speaking in a language you couldn’t fully decipher, this is your chance to change that.

Medina Bookshop in Cowes (Isles of Wight) will be hosting the launch of The Alchemist’s Oracle, a deck of oracle cards created by Island-based illustrator Zoe Sadler on Friday 4th April at 18:00.

The Alchemist’s Oracle consists of 48 cards and a guidebook. Each card is a piece of art, infused with the essence of alchemy and the natural world and inspired by a (metaphorical) magic potion with transformative properties. With the help of the 176 page guidebook, the cards are designed to help unlock the wisdom of the alchemical symbols and elements, guiding you through a playful odyssey of self-discovery. More than a tool, the deck is a spirited companion – a whimsical passport to a world where self-love and emotional wellbeing grow in abundance.

Usher Unveiled: Poe and the Metaphysic of Gnosticism
Barton Levi St. Armand
Brown University



"...it is [Robert] Fludd’s work on alchemy that was his chief contribution to seventeenth-century thought; and it is the alchemical work, even though not mentioned by the narrator of “Usher,” rather than fortune-telling through palmistry, that has the greatest relevance to the fate of Roderick Usher. Like Fludd himself, Usher “absolutely refused to separate the natural from the supernatural”."

Interesting article on this text here:

"An expert in ancient languages, a career diplomat, an alleged developer of robust cryptography codes, and an accomplished chemist – his description of benzoin distillation was the first to be published – Blaise de Vigenère’s interest in Alchemy couldn’t but be supposed."

"The synthesis of evolutionary theories and esoteric teachings is a significant example of the contact between science and esoterism. The article examines the ideas of British biologist Julian Huxley and his brother Aldous Huxley for their correspondence to the concepts of evolutionary esoterism (E. Profet, V. Hanegraaff, J. Kripple). A distinction between the concepts of ‘evolutionary esoterism’ and ‘evolutionary mysticism’ is introduced. The following ideas are proposed to be the key elements of ‘evolutionary mysticism’: the recognition of the possibility of human transition to a new stage of evolution; the active role of man in evolution and his consideration as an engine of its development; the primacy of mental evolution in relation to physical evolution; the need to develop ‘supernatural abilities’ as a condition of evolution. The correspondence of the project ‘Evolutionary Humanism’ of J. Huxley and O. Huxley's views to the concepts of evolutionary esoterism of E. Profet and J. Krypla is established. The article demonstrates the similarity of the Huxley brothers' views on evolution, in particular their belief in the possibility of group progress through individual self-improvement, and argues for the possibility of studying their ideas about evolution as part of evolutionary esoterism."
