  Alchemy and the Qur'an
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 01:09 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"For my master's thesis, i decided to specialize in alchemical symbolism, tracing it through the work of modern american poets and mystics, but the deeper i went, the more i realized that i had to return to the (often unmentioned) source texts—particularly texts written in arabic. As i dug through manuscripts and compared translations, something became clear: many european alchemical writings—especially popular translations of the emerald tablet—were riddled with misreadings, mistranslations, and erasures, and the arabic originals told a vastly different story."

  Video: Working with the Alchemical Flame
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 01:03 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In my work with the Divine, I have developed a working relationship with the archetypal Alchemical Flame. This multi-elemental flame can be used to transmute energies and frequencies that may be hindering (blocking) you in a variety of ways, be they frequencies you came into this lifetime with or otherwise."

"Alchemical developments: While learned specialists continued to refine alchemical theory, the period witnessed increasing interest in internal alchemy (neidan), in which the language of the laboratory was used to describe operations realized within the body. This, in a sense, was nothing new. Alchemical metaphors had very early been applied to physiology; Ge Hong, for example, called semen the “yin elixir.”...

  Philip Ball: Elixirs, Experiments & the Birth of Modern Science

"Philip Ball is such a prolific author that he confesses to losing count of the number of books he’s published. A quick counting of those listed on his website puts the total at 30, which makes his latest—Alchemy: An Illustrated History of Elixirs, Experiments, and the Birth of Modern Science, published Sept. 2—number 31."

  Warburg: “As stiffe twin compasses”: Allegory and Sciences
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 12:29 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"Organised by Sergei Zotov (Frances Yates Fellow, Warburg Institute)

This two-day international conference explores the rich entanglements between allegory and scientific thought in Europe between 1300 and 1700. From sacred architecture and cosmological diagrams to alchemical figures and medical imagery, the event examines how allegorical modes shaped — and were shaped by — the emerging disciplines of natural philosophy, astronomy, medicine, and early modern science. Bringing together scholars from across Europe and North America, the conference traces the use of allegory not just as a literary or artistic device, but as an epistemic framework — a way of thinking through the world.

Keynote speakers:
Prof. Sachiko Kusukawa (University of Cambridge, Trinity College) & Prof. Sophie Page (University College London)"
