  A Survey of Birds and Fabulous Stones
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-21-2024, 05:16 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The records of fabulous stones associated with birds are here examined systematically for the first time. Some were purported to be obtained from within
the bird and others obtained from the nest. Zahir mora, the Adjutant Bird Stone, was used against snake bite, whilst Alectorius (the Cock Stone), Aetites (the Eagle
Stone) and Vulturis (the Vulture Stone) shared a multiplicity of medicinal applications. Quirin (the Hoopoe Stone), Chloritis (the Wagtail Stone) and Corvina
(the Crow Stone) supposedly possessed occult powers. The Penguin Stone, Ostrich Stone and Pigeon Stone were probably gastroliths."

  The Buried Secrets of Czech Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-21-2024, 09:12 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - Replies (1)

"If you were an alchemist in the 16th century, the place to be was Prague, and the court of Emperor Rudolf the 2nd. The most famous occult adepts in Europe flocked there — John Dee, Edward Kelley, Nostradamus. Alchemy left its mark on Prague — and on our producer, Charles Monroe-Kane, who lived there as a young man. He says the Czechs are still uncovering alchemical secrets — like the Speculum Alchemiae, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site."

  Video: Carl Jung & The Chymical Wedding Of Christian Rosenkreuz
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-06-2024, 06:16 PM - Forum: Alchemy texts - No Replies

"The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreuz, first released in 1616 stands as one of the most enigmatic and puzzling works ever produced. Among those captivated by its significance was Carl Gustav Jung, the pioneering figure in the field of analytical psychology. Jung found the text particularly fascinating due to its connections with alchemical practices and its implications for human psychological processes. He perceived a deep and intricate relationship between this work and the principles of alchemy, a field that he believed was not just about physical transformation but also about profound psychological insights, which would lead the seeker toward completing the individuation process."

  Citrinitas (Jungian)
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 02-06-2024, 06:10 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"In alchemy, Citrinitas is commonly recognized as the third major stage in the process of spiritual and chemical work leading to transformation. It symbolizes an important development both in turning metals into gold and in the personal metamorphosis of the alchemist."
