  Cagliostro: The Last Alchemist
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-19-2025, 01:53 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer or a dangerous charlatan. Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths -- and often swords -- with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's Magic Flute and Goethe’s Faust. Louis XVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as ''the affair of the necklace.'' Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established ''healing clinics'' for the poorest of the poor, and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe."

  James P. Farrell: Babylon's Banksters
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-19-2025, 01:46 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Free (?) book:

"Money, at least in modern times, is the result of an “alchemical” operation and a kind of “financial technology,” the operation of transmuting
nothing into something, in this case, of turning a mere entry on a bank ledger — a “nothing” — into a unit of commercial exchange — a
“something.” Likewise, alchemy is a “science” of transmuting base metals into gold, and that implies an underlying physics and technology to
accomplish the act. To call both an alchemical operation is to imply the fact that beneath the magical operations of banking there lies a deep physics, and perhaps a profoundly misunderstood physics. In any case, these are the conceptual poles between which our story moves."

  Artist: Frida Kahlo
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-19-2025, 01:34 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Kahlo was a student of metaphysics and revered alchemy, the transformation of matter. She was well aware of symbolism and how it could stir the masses. Her peasant blouse emphasized her leftist leanings as a woman of the people as well as her purity as a young bride. She identified as a mestiza who was proud of her country's revolutionary ideals. The rebozo conveyed allegiance to indigenous women throughout Mexico. In her marriage dress and in the first portrait she painted as a married woman, Self Portrait, Time Flies, she laid out an intricate mythic framework of her desired alchemical union with [Diego] Rivera. Rivera came to mysticism through his father, a Freemason and Rosicrucian. Kahlo came to it through her studies in all schools of philosophy at Prepa and through books shared by friends. Metaphysics was at its height worldwide in the 1920s and 30s and the inquiring mind of an intelligent teen was like a sponge in water. Frida soaked it up and went on to use many symbolic principles in her paintings and retablos."

  Scottish Glass Society Exhibition: "Alchemy"
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-19-2025, 12:22 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The Scottish Glass Society’s 2025 annual exhibition Alchemy is now open at Glasgow’s Trades Hall. Its elegant room with a full wall of windows is the ideal location to display over sixty pieces of fine art glass by more than thirty SGS members, beautifully presented by the SGS’s volunteer display team. The theme of Alchemy was given to members with the aim to inspire pieces which would create a sense of wonder at the transformation of glass from raw materials into precious forms, and while some makers have responded more literally to the theme, all the work on display is clearly informed by their knowledge of the science of working the materials, and their creativity."
