  Fiction: The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-09-2024, 03:03 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"While the child in me enjoyed the safe kind of jeopardy Maria and her friends encountered my adult self loved the mythological, historical and alchemical echoes in sun and moon imagery, motifs from medieval outlaw legends, and symbols like the lion and unicorn supporters from the royal coat of arms. Yet it’s the author’s visual language that most enthralled me, making the many characters distinctive and clothing, furniture, architecture and natural features extremely vivid and sharply delineated."

  Alchemical Monopole Theory
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-06-2024, 11:25 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the depths of our planet lies a mystery that has fascinated scientists and thinkers for centuries: the origin of Earth’s magnetic field. The Alchemical Monopole Theory (AMT) offers a revolutionary perspective on this enigma, challenging the foundations of geology and physics. According to this theory, Earth is not as we know it—a massive sphere of rock—but rather a hollow sphere, with a core pulsating with pure magnetic energy."

  The Alchemical Book of Lilith
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-02-2024, 10:38 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

This book covers the archetypal role of Lilith throughout mythology, and tracks her journey from the revered goddess through her demotion into demonology when the patriarchy took hold of cultural narratives.

Modern psychological interpretations are explored as a way of healing the wild, primal facets of the divine feminine she represents.

  The Three Books of Geber on Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-28-2024, 04:55 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"Several works of the Jābirean corpus have been translated into Latin. The present work was written in three parts, covering the properties of metals, alchemical techniques, and the properties of the planets. It was printed in 1531 by Johann Grüninger, a German printer and publisher working in Strasbourg. The work starts with an esoteric poem ("Est fons in limis cuius anguis latet in imis...") that forms the incipit for an alchemical work kept in the Bavarian State Library, Codex Latinus Monacensis 2848. (The latter manuscript is purportedly a Latin translation of a work on the philosopher's stone by the Persian alchemist Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakarīyā Rāzī.)"

  Alchemy and Bakhtin’s philosophy of the act
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 03-28-2024, 04:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The paper refers to Bakhtin’s philosophy of the act and his theory of a fundamental split between two worlds: the domain of culture and life itself, which he describes as a “split between the content or sense of a given act/activity and the historical actuality of its being, the actual and once-occurrent experiencing of it”50. His theory is related to the realm beyond Bakhtin’s interests – to the research on the alchemists’ activities and their ideals. The aim of the paper is to answer the question whether the alchemists’ thought and efforts do correspond with the Bakhtin’s theory and may be perceived as referring to the unity of sense or meaning of an act/activity and the historical actuality of its being – ipso facto the unity of culture and life." - Anna Kłonkowska
