  Short Film: Alchemy by Brandon Polanco
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-30-2025, 11:17 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"An epic transformation manifests from a seemingly routine interview. As time elongates, a failed everyman finds himself tormented while working through pages and pages of questions. He battles the unknown, plunging deeper into isolation, ultimately transcending into a heightened reality, discovering a new life between multiple worlds, familiar and otherworldly."

  Video: Alchemical Symbolism & the Language of Science
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-30-2025, 11:09 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"During the 16th and 17th centuries, mystics and Rosicrucian adepts used the enigmatic language of alchemical symbols to reveal the secrets of nature to those who sought a deeper understanding of the cosmos both within and outside of themselves. Great minds like Robert Fludd, Robert Boyle, Benjamin Franklin, and Isaac Newton did not call themselves scientists but rather natural philosophers--those who sought to reveal the secrets of nature through their own connection with Cosmic laws and principles. Often described as the precursor to modern chemistry, alchemy was much more than a literal search for converting base metal into gold; nor was it simply a means of reducing plant matter into medicinal elixirs and tinctures. In this workshop with Ingrid Young, discover the meaning of such symbols as the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, and the AZOTH. Uncover the meaning of phrases such as Ora et Labora, the Great Work, and "the rubification of the soul." Learn why alchemy was once considered a sacred path that had to be kept hidden from the curious, why later scientists scoffed at its value, and how today, we have embraced a greater mystical understanding of what was once considered the secret art."

  Coptic Papyrological Evidence for Early Arabic Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-29-2025, 10:33 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"A Brief Account of Earlier Approaches to Coptic Alchemical Manuscripts A legend transmitted in the Kitab al-fihrist of Abu al-Faraj Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Nadlm tells the story of the first translation of alchemical writings into Arabic, focusing on the figure of the Umayyad prince Khalid ibn Yazld ibn Mu'awiya, "who used to be called the hakim of the Marwan family. Being noble-minded and deeply enamoured of the sciences, particularly the alchem ical arts, he ordered a number of Greek philosophers living in the town of Misr."

  The Role of Jewelry in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-27-2025, 11:20 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Forget everything you think you know about your jewelry box. It’s not just a collection of shiny things; it’s a treasure trove of ancient secrets, mystical power, and a little bit of magic. Long before jewelry was about matching your outfit or dropping hints for your anniversary, it was the ultimate tool for alchemists and mystics trying to crack the code of the universe. We’re talking about a time when a ruby ring wasn’t just a statement piece—it was a direct line to the planet Mars, and a emerald pendant was believed to reveal truths and protect against evil spells. Let’s dive into the wonderfully weird and fascinating history of how jewelry was used to turn lead into life’s great mysteries (and maybe, just maybe, into gold)."

  AI-generated podcast: Alchemical Processes & Freemasonry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-27-2025, 11:18 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In this premiere episode of our esoteric podcast series, we lay the foundation for a transformational journey through the twelve alchemical operations—each one a stage of the Magnum Opus, or “Great Work.” But this isn’t just a study in ancient Hermetic science—it’s a mirror held up to the path of the Freemasonic initiate."
