  What is Sulfur?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-12-2025, 01:54 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Medieval alchemists elevated sulfur to one of their three fundamental principles (tria prima), alongside mercury and salt. To these early chemists, sulfur represented the soul, combustibility, and masculine energy. Its alchemical symbol—a triangle atop a cross—became known as “Satan’s Cross” due to religious associations with hellfire. Despite these mystical overtones, alchemists’ experiments with sulfur laid crucial groundwork for modern chemistry."

  Cinema: Netflx series 'Dark'
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-12-2025, 01:49 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Dark, therefore, is an exoteric meditation on the Hermetic view of the world. Hermes was the Greek name of the ancient Egyptian deity known as Thoth. In antiquity, it was believed that he was a real person who helped humanity develop civilization, including medicine, written language, alchemy and astrology. Dark features several references to the Emerald Tablet, also known in Latin as the Tabula Smaragdina, which is a part of the Hermetic writings reputed to contain the secrets of creation. A painting depicting the Emerald Tablet by Heinrich Khunrath from 1606 is seen in multiple places throughout the series, including tattooed on the back of one of the characters."

  Why many historians no longer see alchemy as an occult practice
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 07-12-2025, 01:36 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Oldie but goldie from 2011.

"Alchemy is making a comeback. No, wizards have not learned how to transmute lead into gold and they haven’t found any rejuvenating elixir of life. But the scholars who write the history of science and technology no longer lump alchemy in with witchcraft as a pseudo-science. Instead they see alchemy as the proper precursor to modern chemistry"
