Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-18-2023, 11:33 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Despite attending Trinity College in Cambridge, he was not formally educated until he was in his early twenties. As a result, his passion for learning and apprenticeship resulted in a unique path that would lead to intellectual immortality."

  Daoism: The Four Vehicles of Internal Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-16-2023, 12:35 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Daoism is an eclectic school of thought (aren't they all?) and often borrows useful concepts from other philosophies, practices and religions in order to better explain its own ideas. Today I want to talk briefly about the Four Vehicles of Internal Alchemy, a concept borrowed from Buddhism but with a totally different interpretation."

  Did Isaac Newton Consume Mercury?
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-15-2023, 12:21 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"It is difficult to overestimate how much of an impact Isaac Newton had on the world’s history. A nagging question shrouds his legacy: Did Isaac Newton, the mastermind behind the laws of motion, delve into the mysterious realm of alchemy and, intriguingly, drink mercury?"

  Rahere: free esoteric font
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 12-14-2023, 10:07 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Rahere Esoteric is a gothic-flavoured, quasi-Roman display font with an eccentric persona and more quirks than a Tim Burton film. A member of the extended Rahere typeface family, it’s the enigmatic cousin of Rahere Roman Display & Rahere Sans. This is a niche display font that doesn’t try to please everyone. Rahere Esoteric revels in its mystical aura, using a bewildering array of ligatures to magically transmute itself as characters loop, curl, jerk and strut, randomly connecting and disconnecting into words like a retro-futuristic steam train clattering along a disused railway track, challenging and delighting the reader at the same time."
