  The Surreal Art of Alchemical Diagrams
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-09-2023, 04:26 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - Replies (3)

" As well as reams of text, the ins and outs of the alchemist's task, steeped as it is in a dizzyingly complex symbology, has given birth to a whole host of strange and wondrous imagery over the centuries. Here we pick out some favourites, many found on Wellcome Images and the brilliant Manly Palmer Hall collection at the Internet Archive."

  The Case of Robert Fludd
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-09-2023, 04:21 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"The second purpose of my article is to showcase the visual alchemy of Fludd’s artwork. This kind of imagery, often associated with Western esotericism, conveys its
meaning through a distinct semiotic structure. It comprises both literal and metaphorical meaning, though Fludd’s explanations were often quite literal. To illuminate this dualism,
I have chosen to focus on Fludd’s claim that God and the human soul are not parts of Nature and cannot be quantified with numbers."

  Chemistry, Medicine, and Gold-Making
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-09-2023, 03:57 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Tycho Brahe, Helwig Dieterich, Otto Tachenius, and Johann Glauber

by Dr. Curt Wentrup


"Three major objectives of 17th century chemists were the preparation of proper chemicals, the preparation of herbal and inorganic medicines (iatrochemistry), and the making of gold by transmutation of lesser metals. The doctrines of Aristotle and Paracelsus that all things were made from the same, primary constituents, implied the feasibility of transmutation."
