"To celebrate the first birthday of this blog I have put together a mix of music inspired by John Dee. As scientist, cryptographer, cartographer, alchemist and magus Dr. Dee has always been of profound interest to me. To many he is still considered notorious for his conversations with angels, aided by various mediums or ‘scryers’ of dubious credibility. However, it is not his angel-bothering that most interests me, rather his works broadly in the domains of astrology and alchemy."

"In the Harleian manuscript collection in the British Museum there is a collection of alchemical and magickal texts copied between 1699 and 1714 by one Peter Smart, self described Master of Arts of London. Among these manuscripts are several relating directly to Dr, John Dee’s Enochian workings and angelic magic as well as a collection of alchemical and Rosicrucian material, also containing fragments of Dee’s work, entitled The Rosie Crucian Secrets."

" 'John Dee and alchemy' – this phrase, particularly in and around Bohemia, almost automatically triggers the qualification: “Dee was interested in alchemy, but the real adept in their tandem was his scryer, Edward Kelly.” Well, this is not necessarily true. Although it is indeed probable that Kelly was more accomplished and also more devoted to pursuing the way of transmut-ing base metals to gold, his master approached alchemy in a more subtle and complex way."

"At first glance, this appears to be a typical Catholic chapel. However, like the rest of the estate, it is replete with occult secrets. The chapel is made of three levels (underground, ground level, and above ground) which is meant to represent the three levels of the Axis Mundi  (the underworld, earth, and heaven). Atop the chapel is a tower-like sculpture that represents an “alchemical furnace”, also known as athanor."

Splendor Solis: A Four Week Online Class on Alchemy and The Image, with Alchemist and Artist Brian Cotnoir, Beginning January 24
from $125.00
4-week online class
Wednesdays, January 24, 31, February  7, 14.
7-9 pm Eastern (NYC) time
$145 ($125 for $5/a month and above Patreon members)


Splendor Solis, 1530-35, attributed to Salomon Trismosin, is the most magnificent alchemical illuminated manuscript that depicts the Great Work, i.e., the making of the Philosopher’s Stone in 22 enigmatic images.
Over four evenings, we will open and unpack each of the seven treatises and the 22 images and do an initial review and interpretation of both the text and the individual image and how they relate to each other as they elucidate an actual 16th-century alchemical practice. We’ll also consider the larger structure of the work, that is, how the images are shaped and grouped as a whole.
Each class will have time for Q&A and further discussion.

"The Green Book is concerned with plant alchemy, how to practically confect spagyrical Tinctures, Elixirs, the true Primum Ens, Plant Magisteries and the Quintessence. Also covered are the Plant Stone of Hollandus, the Plant Phoenix, the Quintessence of Blood and the Homunculus. It constitutes a complete programme of practical works from the occult laboratory of a modern day spagyricist.

Recipes and methods of working are given, and compared with those of Jean Dubuis, Mary Anne Atwood, Frater Albertus, Joseph Lisiewski, Van Helmont, Crollius, John French, Hollandus, Sibly and others, to indicate a path for the seeker to pursue in their own practic. The inclusion of copious folk magical receipts and sympathetic cures (including the rare weapon salve), in addition to the elixirs, tinctures, essences et cetera, make this volume a veritable treasure, showing both the philosophical theories and folk magical influences that informed his guide Paracelsus."

"The minister, physician, natural philosopher and would-be alchemical adept Johann Moriaen was born in Nürnberg in the latter half of 1591 or shortly thereafter. His father Frans was almost certainly a Dutch Calvinist exile of modest but comfortable means, and Johann grew up in the tight-knit society-within-a-society of the refugees, who were aliens both by nationality and religion."

"By considering the characters of Marina (Pericles; Prince of Tyre) and Helen (All’s Well That Ends Well), this essay investigates the two women’s relation to the healing arts
and to nature in the light of coeval alchemical and Paracelsian doctrines."
