  The Melissinos Rite
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-08-2023, 05:50 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

An alchemical masonic Rite.

"There was a long tradition of magic and alchemy in Russia and in spite [of] the barriers of foreign contamination set up by the Orthodox Church, occult literature was not unknown. The pseudo–Aristotelian Secretum Secretorum, with its alchemical and astrological elements, was known in Russia probably by the end of the nineteenth century and there were copies in the libraries of many Tsars."

  Russian Manuscript - Book of the Holy Trinity
Posted by: Adam McLean - 06-08-2023, 09:48 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (2)

There is a manuscript version of the Book of the Holy Trinity in a Russian library with coloured drawings. It is dated to 1488.
The text is in German with some Latin, so it is likely copied from one of the German originals.
Russian State Library  F.183.1 №930.

  The Golden Builders: Alchemists, Rosicrucians, First Freemaons
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-05-2023, 11:43 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"In a breathtaking span of detailed research, Tobias Churton reveals, without resorting to mythology or pseudo-history, the most up-to-date knowledge on the development of Gnostic alchemy, the true origins of pre-Grand Lodge Freemasonry, and the mysterious Fraternity of the Rosy Cross (the Rosicrucians). Following the Hermetic spiritual and philosophical stream through 1,600 years of esoteric history, Churton introduces readers to great men of magic and wisdom--spiritual heroes and masters like Paracelsus, Caspar Schwenckfeld, Johann Valentin Andrae, and Elias Ashmole. The Golden Builders is an essential addition to any serious seekers' library."

  Isaac Newton's Freemasonry - Alain Bauer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 06-03-2023, 11:43 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

An exploration of how modern Freemasonry enabled Isaac Newton and his like-minded contemporaries to flourish

• Shows that Freemasonry, as a mystical order, was conceived as something new--an amalgam of alchemy and science that had little to do with operative Freemasonry

• Reveals how Newton and his friends crafted this “speculative,” symbolic Freemasonry as a model for the future of England

• Connects Rosslyn Chapel, Henry Sinclair, and the Invisible College to Newton and his role in 17th-century Freemasonry
