"Oxford scholar Tobias Churton is one of the world's prolific authors on the subjects of religion, spirituality, and esotericism. In his most recent work, The First Alchemists, he traces the origins of that most mysterious and most fascinating school of mysticism and science. The book is a great primer for those who know little or nothing on the subject, but it's also great for those who are familiar with the topic already. Churton shares some texts that have never been translated into English for popular readers before. He digs deep into many erroneous assumptions that have long (mis)informed popular conceptions of the subject."

"Just as alchemy unfolds its enigmatic stages — nigredo, albedo, citrinitas and rubedo — so too does the writer travel a parallel path in birthing their stories. Each stage, an alchemical marvel, resonates deeply with the nuanced layers of the writing journey. Can you tell how ready I am to nerd out on all of this?? The plan is to write a collection of essays of varying lengths, exploring the mystical connections between these realms. I want to learn the secrets that bind the transformative processes of both alchemy and writing."

"The fascinating narrative of India’s ancient achievements in chemical warfare remains a compelling testament to the subcontinent’s rich heritage. The evidence strongly suggests that India played a pivotal role in the origins of gunpowder and its applications in early military science. In doing so, it adds another layer to the grand tapestry of Bharat’s remarkable contributions to the world’s knowledge and civilization."

Dorothea Juliana Wallich also: Dorothea Wallich or D. J. W., née Fischer[1] (* 1657 in Weimar; † 1725 in Arnstadt) was a Thuringian alchemist and is thus one of the few women known as alchemists. She wrote three alchemical books, which were published in 1705 and 1706. Karl Christoph Schmieder assumed that she had only published her father's manuscripts; however, he also considered her authorship to be possible.
