  A Vision: Key to Yeats as Alchemical Poet & Magician
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 12:48 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

"Conflicts and oppositions in Yeats' life and chart were healed and regarded in a new light through his experience with the channeled material he received and recorded in A Vision. This was the culmination of an alchemical process of soul work"

  How to Study Alchemy: Complete Beginners Guide
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 12:37 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Alchemy is one of the most intriguing traditions in human history. Often misunderstood as merely a quest to turn lead into gold, alchemy is actually a vast spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic system. It weaves together science, mysticism, psychology, and personal transformation. If you feel drawn to this ancient path, you might ask: How do I study alchemy in the modern world?"

  DB Smith: Russian Alchemy: A Hidden Tradition
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 12:32 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

'While the grand alchemical traditions of China, India, the Islamic world, and Western Europe are well-known, Russian alchemy remains a relatively obscure yet fascinating thread in the tapestry of global esotericism. Russian alchemical thought absorbed ancient, medieval, and Renaissance influences, adapting them to a unique cultural context marked by Orthodox Christianity, Slavic folklore, scientific exploration, and mystical philosophy. This article explores the operative and speculative dimensions of Russian alchemy, its historical development."

  DB Smith: The Muslim Alchemists
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 12:28 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In the fifth century a Christian sect called the Nestorians, who followed Nestorius, a Patriarch of Constantinople, were declared heretical and broke with the established church. This sect migrated to Persia with Greek manuscripts and translated Greek texts to Syriac Aramaic, monopolizing medicine and incidentally bringing alchemical literature to Persia. This knowledge would be added to the works the Arabs would find in Alexandria, Egypt, and the Golden Age dawned over the Islamic world."

Reason Tried by Fire: The Rota Alphabetalis and Other Logical and Mnemonic Devices in the Pseudo-Lullian Alchemical Codicillus
Autori

Diego Gorini González Università del Salento, Lecce – Universität zu Köln



"This article explores the Codicillus, a pivotal yet understudied text within the pseudo-Lullian alchemical corpus, dating back to the mid-fourteenth century. The aim is to present the conceptual development of the alchemical doctrine contained in the work by elucidating its key logical and mnemonic devices. These include the three alchemical principles (material, demonstrative and operative), the division of the opus in four stages, the so-called ‘science of middles and extremes’, and an alphabetical wheel of the elements. Through this analysis, the Codicillus emerges as a remarkable instance of operational rationality in medieval experimental science, as well as an early application of the ‘Art of Memory’ to alchemy."

"Françoise Bonardel s’interroge, à la suite de Fulcanelli, sur la récurrence des motifs alchimiques dans nos églises chrétiennes… L’alchimie était-elle mieux acceptée hier qu’elle ne l’est aujourd’hui ? Extrait d'un exposé intitulé « Art et alchimie, un lien entre macrocosme et microcosme »..."

  Antoine Calvet, L’alchimie au Moyen Âge
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-25-2025, 12:20 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

Review by Geneviève Dumas

"A. Calvet a commis ici un bel ouvrage, dont la force réside dans un dialogue fertile entre récits biographiques, filiation des idées et analyse des théories et des pratiques. Écrit dans une langue expressive où le sens de la formule est indéniable, il sera lu avec plaisir par les néophytes éclairés, utilisé et amplement cité par les chercheurs."

"To many, alchemy is nothing more than an outdated pseudoscience. But what if that belief is part of the disguise?"
