"Finally, scientists know how the universe makes gold. Using our most advanced telescopes and detectors, we’ve seen it created in the cosmic fire of the two colliding stars first detected by LIGO via the gravitational wave they emitted."

"This dictionary offers a unique perspective on the vast and varied terminology of Taoist Internal Alchemy (Neidan). Drawing on major original texts and premodern lexicons, it provides translations, definitions, and usage examples for over a thousand terms common throughout the tradition.
A comprehensive index of English equivalents allows readers to easily locate the corresponding Chinese terms. Beyond serving as a reference for those reading, studying, or translating Neidan texts, the dictionary's entries offer glimpses into the rich imagery and poetic language of Internal Alchemy."

"The spark for Alchemy came from Mia Main, who brought the idea to ÜNAM as a way to bridge their two art forms. Working together, they split the project into two teams, each led by one of them, with ÜNAM creating an original track and Mia designing a jewelry piece that captures the spirit of alchemy. From there, it was all about letting other artists make it their own: 13 artists were given the core track or jewelry piece as inspiration, along with an assigned element—fire, water, air, earth, or quintessence—and asked to reimagine it through their own lens."

Allegorical Iconography of Alchemical Furnaces in 16th and 17th Century Manuscripts


"In many illustrated alchemical manuscripts one may find images of furnaces. Starting from the sixteenth century they are often depicted allegorically as well as vials, alembics, and other laboratory utensils. Furnaces were sometimes symbolized by characters connected with fire: hell mouth, demon, or dragon. In other cases, alchemical ovens were depicted as buildings due to their similar form. A tree was also a symbol of an alchemical oven. These iconographical types connected alchemy with something significant outside of alchemy: be it technology, religion, or mythology. This paper argues that the sources for such allegorical imagery could lie in manuals on military technology such as Bellifortis or De re militari."

"In the course of my research on the history of Rasasastra, I learned, in the early 1980's, from a colleague who had visited the temples of Alampur, that the iconography of this Saivite site as well as local traditions pointed to the former presence of alchemists in this region of the Deccan. In order to verify the grounds for this information, I proceeded with research that was as much philological and historical as it was archaeological and anthropological."
