"All things were believable back then – wizards, alchemy, fairies, angels. This is the story of those magical times. A lyrical and highly atmospheric exploration of the lives of Tudor and Renaissance magicians, men from Dee to Kepler to Bruno, who were also scientists, astrologers, mathematicians and alchemists. Their studies, books and ideas still permeate scientific history, as well as literature and film from Philip Pullman to CS Lewis."

"As Above, So Below is a 2014 American horror film[6] written and directed by John Erick Dowdle from a screenplay he co-wrote with his brother Drew. The film stars Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, François Civil, Marion Lambert, and Ali Marhyar. The title refers to the popular paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet. The film is presented as found footage of a documentary crew's experience exploring the Catacombs of Paris in search of the philosopher's stone, only to be confronted by supernatural forces hidden deep beneath the city. It was loosely based on the nine circles of Hell from Dante Alighieri's epic 14th-century poem Divine Comedy. It was the first film to get permission to shoot in the real Catacombs of Paris."

"In July 1936, economist John Maynard Keynes returned from Sotheby’s auction house in London with a chest full of unpublished hand-written papers, laboratory books, diagrams and over a million unpublished words by Sir Isaac Newton. Contrary to expectations, Newton’s hitherto unseen papers did not illustrate his musings on celestial mechanics, calculus, optics or mathematical theory, but his personal work on esoteric theology and his alchemical laboratory notes. While Isaac Newton was regarded a towering sentinel of the scientific method on a global platform, he was secretly a deeply mystical, magical and animistic thinker."

"Alchemical texts often use elaborate extended allegories as a means of communicating key philosophical points, or to illustrate a particular alchemical process. In these allegorical texts a figure, with which the reader is supposed to identify, goes on an journey in search of wisdom or understanding of the mysteries of alchemy. There this figure meets various archetypal characters, kings, queens, various alchemical birds and animals, and witnesses a process of transformation. This parallels the use of series of symbolic illustrations in various alchemical books and manuscripts-these allegories are in essence the working out in text of similar alchemical ideas and processes as are found in the sequences of emblematic symbols."

Review here:

Combining revived interest in both the emblem and alchemy, this volume is the third in a series of works on emblem studies published by the French Department at the University of Glasgow. Its ten essays, divided among three major categories entitled, "A Theoretical Perspectives", "The English Alchemists", and "Continental Manifestations", stress inter disciplinarity as they explore the relationships between text, image, and alchemical practice. Broad in scope but detailed in its analyses, the compendium raises several intriguing questions about the correspondence between literature, art, and pseudo-science. Despite the diversity of its topics, the collection is often surprisingly unified in its discussion of authors, motifs, and themes. With the exception of some gaps in argumentation, Emblems and Alchemy makes a significant contribution not only to the field of emblematics, but to early modern studies.

"Alchemical images take many forms, from descriptive illustrations of apparatus to complex allegorical schemes that link practical operations to larger cosmological structures."

"At the heart of both yoga and alchemy (rasaśāstra/rasavāda) we find practices meant to change bodies. These disciplines offer a variety of ways in which one can counteract greying hair, eliminate wrinkles, prolong life, and cure disease. However, their approaches are often quite different, with yoga focusing on physical and mental practice and alchemy emphasizing the use of herbal, mineral, and metallic medicines.Both systems prioritize a sort of divine body, describing the attainment of enlightenment during life (jīvanmukti) or a perfected body (dehasiddhi). While both yoga and Indian alchemy persist today as part of the global wellness industry, for the purpose of this bibliography we will consider the premodern developments of these disciplines."
