"Regardless of time, place, and culture, alchemy has enjoyed a ménage à trois. On the one hand it has boasted the ability to find the panacea, that is, a universal cure for the body, thus claiming parentage to medicine. On the other hand, by declaring perfect knowledge of nature as its ulti- mate goal, the alchemical quest has been seen as a mystical way to find a cure for the soul, too. The aim of this essay is to shed light on the relationship of alchemy to medicine and religion through the case study of Elias Ashmole’s Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum."

Between Alchemy and Pietism

Wilhelm Christoph Kriegsmann’s Philological Quest for Ancient Wisdom

Mike A. Zuber


"A minor figure undeservedly forgotten, Wilhelm Christoph Kriegsmann (1633–1679) has received only limited attention from historians of alchemy and church historians. He is
known chiefly either for his idiosyncratic Phoenician reconstruction of the Tabula Smaragdina, a foundational text of alchemy attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, or alternatively for writing one of the earliest sustained defenses of Pietist conventicles to appear in print."

"It was a century when dies were cast, distinctions made, and attitudes changed. The Ouroboros shed its skin: alchemy became chemistry and natural
philosophy became reductionist science; the shed skins were beautiful, though lifeless representations of the wonders of Nature. But the change was not clear
until later. One place where key actors in the drama came together was England’s second city, Norwich."

I don't know whether this is still running...


"The Historical Division of the American Chemical Society (A.C.S.), the largest professional organization in the world, has asked you and up to three others to assist them with a project. They wish to research the early development of Chemistry by studying the historical relevance of four different Alchemists from the 13th to the 18th Century. After the completion of your research, your group will present a paper to the A.C.S. who will evaluate your work and determine if it warrants additional inquiry (and grant money, which is always a good thing!)."

Adams describes it as a spiritual piece inspired by his interest in alchemy. He says the song signifies “submission to the power of the universe.”
