Aristotelianism and Hermeticism in Renaissance Naples: Francesco Storella and the Secrets of Alchemy

Donato Verardi

"This article examines the role of the logician Francesco Storella (active ca. 1550–1575) in contributing to the intellectual and social legitimation of alchemy in mid sixteenth-century Naples. Storella achieved this by leveraging the tradition of the “Hermetic Aristotle,” focusing on his 1555 edition and commentary of the Secretum secretorum."

The Symbols of Alchemy, by S. Foster Damon

Edited by Robert L Hutwoh

From the 1922 The Occult Review

"Alchemists used complex symbolism to conceal their true subject of experimentation: materialization. Their writings, filled with poetic and contradictory terms, described the process of creating a human being, using the mage and medium as active and passive elements. The mage, symbolized by the sun and associated with power, used “Philosopher’s Fire” to mesmerize the medium, represented by the moon. The text explores the alchemical process of creating the “Stone,” a substance believed to grant immortality and transmutation. This process, often symbolized as a marriage between Sol (Sun) and Luna (Moon), involves the production of ectoplasm, a fluid-like substance. The text delves into the various symbols and stages of the alchemical process, highlighting the importance of a tightly sealed “Cabinet” and the role of assistants."

"Discover the Four Gates of Speech, an ancient Sufi alchemical practice of right silence and soul transmutation. In this deeply philosophical and analytical video, we explore the Sufi wisdom of the Four Gates — Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Does it improve upon silence? — as a rigorous path of verbal and inner purification. Drawing from masters like Rumi, Al-Ghazali, and Ibn Arabi, this narrated essay reveals the archetypal journey, the existential crisis, and the emergence of the integrated self through sacred silence."
