  Video: The Alchemical Process of Spiritual Transformation
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-15-2025, 07:26 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"What if alchemy was never about turning lead into gold, but about something far more powerful—transforming your soul? For centuries, ancient mystics and hermetic alchemists encoded their teachings in cryptic symbols: ? fire, ☿ mercury, ? water… not to confuse, but to protect sacred knowledge. These weren't formulas for external transmutation—but a roadmap for inner awakening. In this video, we’ll uncover the true meaning behind the Great Work (Magnum Opus), explore the seven stages of spiritual alchemy, and reveal how pain, ego death, and shadow work are the raw materials for the soul’s evolution. This is the hidden journey of becoming the Philosopher’s Stone—radiant, sovereign, and whole."

  Ithell Colquhoun Tarot Exhibition
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-15-2025, 07:23 AM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Did you know surrealist painter & occultist Ithell Colquhoun designed her own tarot deck?? Unlike traditional decks, hers was purely colour-based, drawing on alchemical symbolism, the Qabalistic Tree of Life, & the esoteric teachings of the Golden Dawn. Instead of figures & scenes, she used abstract shapes & hues to convey the deeper meanings of each card✨

See more of the Tarot cards on display at Tate St Ives until 5 May. You can also buy a postcard pack from Tate shops in person or online."

  Robinet: Essays on Taoist Internal Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 04-10-2025, 05:41 PM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

The World Upside Down: Essays on Taoist Internal Alchemy

"This book contains four essays on Internal Alchemy (Neidan) by Isabelle Robinet, originally published in French and translated here for the first time into English. The essays are concerned with the alchemical principle of "inversion"; the devices used by the alchemists to "give form to the Formless by the word, and thus manifest the authentic and absolute Dao"; the symbolic function of numbers in Taoism and in Internal Alchemy; and the original meanings of the terms "External Elixir" (waidan) and "Internal Elixir" (neidan)."
