"The Gemini Seal Pendant draws from the intricate instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where its creation was described in extraordinary detail. Traditionally, this sigil was to be forged from a blend of gold and silver, metals carefully melted together at the precise moment when the Sun enters Gemini, typically around the 10th or 11th of May."

"Myth in Alchemy: From Homer to the Chymical Gods: A Four-Week Live, Online Course with Alchemist Brian Cotnoir, Begins April 7."

"Throughout the practice of western alchemy, myths, the stories of the gods and goddesses, were used to explain the forces at work in alchemical transmutation. It was thought that these stories cloaked deeper meanings that would, if understood properly, reveal the way forward in the work of perfecting matter and the soul.

Of interest are the sources of myth used by renaissance artists like Durer and alchemists like Maier in their depictions of the dieties. We will look at texts such as Boccaccio's Genealogy of the Pagan Gods, Cartari's Images of the Pagan Gods, and the work that started the Emblem Books, The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo.

This will prepare us to better understand the 50 emblems in Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens a most remarkable alchemical text of image, music, and poetry in the service of alchemical transmutation.

This four-part course will examine the use of myth, its origins and development into a symbolic language of alchemy and will trace a few examples of myth and show how it is interpreted as not just a metaphor but as an actual physical process."

"Who hasn't wanted an extensive, two-volume dictionary of alchemical terms and concepts? Charles Rainsford did! Rainsford was an 18th century British army officer, fellow of the Royal Society, and alchemist, who collected books about his interests. His collection included this translation of a Frence mytho-Hermetic dictionary, now UPenn Ms. Codex 1686."

THE ALCHEMIST’S WIFE: GENDER AND SACRED SPACE IN SEVENTEENTHCENTURY ALCHEMICAL ART

BY ELISABETH ROSE GENTER

"In seventeenth-century Europe, the practice of alchemy was commonplace among scholars, noblemen, and the clergy alike. A number of Dutch artists took interest in the subject and produced a variety of alchemical “genre” scenes, which depict the alchemist in his home laboratory, accompanied occasionally by his wife, children, and assistants. Dutch alchemical genre scenes serve a unique purpose in the study of art, as they showcase a versatile, complex space that gives us a look into Early Modern concepts of gender, domesticity, science, and religion."

"Paracelsus wrote in his own language. He not only peppered his early-new-high-German prose with Latin Frühneuhochdeutsch terms and tags but salted them with neologisms that drew from many languages—Greek and Latin for the medical and scientific terminology, Greek and Hebrew for classical and biblical references, and the vernacular tongues for elements of folklore and popular culture...This paper discusses the first dictionaries and offers readings of a sample text which, as readers and translators have long agreed, makes little sense until the code is broken and the words’ etymological meanings are at least conjectured."

"Dom Pernety reassures us that “this [Philosopher's Stone] is the center and source of virtues, since those who possess it scorn all the vanities of the world, vain glory, ambition; since they esteem gold no more than sand or dust”. Moreover, “Hermetic Philosophy is therefore, the school of piety and religion.”
